Factcheck.com
Wonkette pointed to the fact that the URL factcheck.com -- which Cheney incorrectly attributed in the debate last night instead of the correct factcheck.org -- had been recently redirected to georgesoros.com. This is really amusing, as Soros is the billionaire philanthropist who has recently been a big source of funding to MoveOn.org and whose site is visibily anti-Bush. Alas, as of right now, georgesoros.com isn't serving any traffic. Earllier this afternoon, the site disclaimed any responsibility for the redirect (which seem valid...the whois database doesn't show an obvious link to Soros) and was pointing folks to the right site.
Comments
I read yesterday that factcheck.com was owned by a company in the Cayman Islands, and that they had set up the redirect because there server could not handle the traffic they were receiving. They redirected to soros, because his site was better able to handle the traffic, and they found it amusing. -- Posted by Paul on October 7, 2004 02:44 PM
