Lovely - the fact checker will only check those things readers question - something wrong with that in my opinion

        I would think the fact checker should be checking all the 
facts, not just those that readers question.  It seems that should be 
his job.

*Glenn Kessler*, editor of the revived column, says he'll rely on 
readers to ask questions and point out statements that need to be 
checked. "This is a fact-checking operation, not an opinion-checking 
operation," he notes. "We are interested only in verifiable facts, 
though on occasion we may examine the roots of political rhetoric."
