Since factcheck is an Annenberg project, why not email all the <a href="http://www.annenbergfoundation.org/biographies/biographies_list.htm?attrib_id=16977" rel="nofollow">trustees</a> with a link to this post? That link does not provide their emails, only their names, so pehaps the <a href="http://www.annenbergfoundation.org/contact_us/" rel="nofollow">“contact us”</a> could be used.</p> So here’s an idea.
