So today was the four week point since the beginning of this campaign.
Here are the stats: (as of this morning)
- 9,935 Unique Visitors
- 19,953 Pageviews
- 808 Facebook fans
- 344 Twitter followers
- 23 Facts checked and counting
- 1 Boilerplate non-comment on our effort from NBC/Meet the Press indicating they believe their journalistic responsibility ends when they release the transcript of the show
Interest in Meet the Facts is the highest it’s ever been, and on Sunday we received more traffic to our website than any other day since we started.
And perhaps most of all, this week we received so much crowd-sourced help in the first 48 hours (after we posted the checkable statements) that on Wednesday we are still going through the submissions so we can post the results. All in all this is great, humbling news.
You can find the results of this week’s fact-checking here, and special thanks to all the crowd-sourcers who have contributed their time to help make our effort not only successful, but informative:
