Mr. Lawler’s Saturday Morning…

Here’s an interesting site that connects with much of our first unit and the work we’ve been doing on evaluating the validity of narratives:

“The Rhetoric and the Reality” tries to fact check claims made by various politicians – from both parties – in the recent Republican and Democratic conventions. In a sense, it illustrates that finding the truth (or most accurate narrative) is an exercise in evaluating claims and evidence from both sides. Check it out, but keep in mind that even this newspaper (“The New York Times”) features bias, just like all newspapers.
