PolitiFact rocks

PolitiFact.com, a project of the St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly, has created a video of its promotional song Gimme the Truth. The song, written by Chris Ave and directed by Adrian Phillips, features backup vocals by Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon.

Phillips tells CyberJournalist.net: "When we considered the different ways we could promote our new fact-checking site, PolitiFact.com, it seemed most appropriate that we would add our take to the ever-expanding collection of music videos that – no doubt – will be a recalled fixture of the 2008 Election. (If you look closely, you can see several references to Obama Girl, Guiliani Girl and the YouTube debate snowman, Billiam.) Produced and directed in-house by our Web staff, this effort was conceived and executed in four weeks."

(PolitiFact is a project that aims to help readers find the truth in the presidential campaign. Every day, reporters and researchers from the Times and CQ will analyze the candidates' speeches, TV ads and interviews and determine whether the claims are accurate.)
