They're pretty even handed IMO, and I'm a HUGE Obama supporter.

Right now there are 10 things on the front page. 6 are critical of Obama, 4 are critical of McCain.
On any given day those ratios could be reversed.


Another good one is politifact.com
I like their scale that they use to measure the "truthiness" of what a candidate said. Their worst rating is "pants on fire" which McCain has received twice and Obama hasn't received at all.
