From my Twitter feed:
-Matt Steinglass at The Economist blogs on my misperceptions research, writing that “Nyhan is right” on need to pressure elites to be more responsible, but he is “not optimistic” about strategies for doing so
-Blogger quantifies number and accuracy of rumors about Bush and Obama on Snopes (validity depends on Snopes methods)
-Conservative postmodernism alert — Washington Examiner columnist answers a factual claim with a poll (for past entries, see here)
-Taegan Goddard at Political Wire suggests Obama’s approval ratings with independents have received a “health care bump,” but that upturn may be a result of improved economic perceptions (see also Mark Blumenthal). Even if the increase is the result of health care, it’s probably less a “bump” than a reduction in bad press that was depressing Obama’s approval ratings.
