BREAKING — WHITE HOUSE THIS MORNING DEBUTS “HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM REALITY CHECK” WEBSITE ON HEALTH CARE.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/realitycheck The site incorporates lessons learned from http://fightthesmears.com, the Obama campaign’s Learn the Truth About Barack Obama site, which covered everything from the birth certificate to William Ayers to “a recent e-mail smear falsely claims Michelle ordered room service, but she never even stayed at the hotel.”
WHAT’S NEW: The site has built-in tools allowing users to e-mail every page and video to their friends and families and is linked to social networks with preloaded messages to encourage folks to share the content.
