When The Dallas Morning News hired me last year to be managing editor, I had the idea it would be cool to bring PolitiFact to this community.

PolitiFact is a Pulitzer Prize-winning, national website that launched in 2007 and partners with newsrooms throughout the country to do state and local fact-checking. The reporting is objective, nonpartisan and relies on primary sources and original documentation.

Texas was the first state to join the PolitiFact network in partnership with the Austin American-Statesman.

Now that partnership extends to The Dallas Morning News as PolitiFact Texas.

NOTE: The major newspapers in the red state of Texas are liberal. This is further proof of that. Ugh. – Karen
