We've done lots of election guides to help you sort out the truth in the 2012 campaign -- so many that we thought it would be helpful to have a short guide to our guides!
So here's a quick look at the guides we have produced:

Medicare 'cuts' and the talking point that won't die -- We trace the talking point about paying for Obamacare with "cuts" to Medicare (with a fun video!).
Scariest lines of 2012 campaign -- The scare tactics of the campaign. Don't be afraid! They're not true!
Twisting the truth on China -- Both parties have used China as a villain, often stretching the truth about their opponents.
