Politifact Australia launches

Find above a video from Politifact, which launches today in Australia. It’s a US funded website which fact checks and rates the statements of politicians. Why there isn’t one for business I don’t know.

It is interesting to note how international money continues to pour into start-up ventures in Australian media with the last few months seeing The Guardian, Business Insider and now Politifact launching plus intent expressed from Huffington Post.

Anyone would think that they see something going wrong with the MSM.
