Default Rumors and Partisan Politics

http://contexts.org/socimages/2010/0...isan-politics/

Quote:
J.L. Bell at Oz and Ends counted the number of rumors about President G.W. Bush and President Obama that were identified and determined by rumor-validation site, snopes.com, to be true, false, a mixture of true and false, or uncertain. It turns out, there are a lot more rumors and a lot more false rumors about Obama than there were about Bush:
Very interesting.

The original article is here: The Party of No Credibility http://ozandends.blogspot.com/2010/0...edibility.html

He doesn't have the chart that Sociological Images has, so I included both.

It's an interesting use of snopes.com's information.

Bell interprets this evidence to mean that Republicans fight dirtier than Democrats. What do you think?
