Headline: Vast Majority Of Secret Money In Presidential Race Spreads Misinformation: Report

Dan Froomkin calls our attention to a report from the Annenberg Public Policy Center which finds that of the $29.3M the top four big-money PACs spent from December 2011 through May 2012, some $25M

was spent on ads that fact-checkers said included at least one deception, such as the assertion that “Obama personally lobbied to kill a pipeline bringing oil from Canada” or that “the stimulus bill sent tens of millions of dollars to build traffic lights in China.”

Gosh. Groups headed by Republican operatives like Karl Rove and funded by the Koch Brothers might be mistaken in some of their claims about the President? This can’t be true!
