Next Tuesday is a chance for all members of the Penn community to see and taste what the newly renovated University Club has to offer. The Food for Thought luncheon talk will be held at the Club on March 22 at noon and is open to members and non-members of the Club with a PennCard. The cost of the full lunch, buffet-style, is $12.95. RSVP to universityclub@pobox.upenn.edu

The talk will feature Rob Farley of FactCheck.org presenting Presidential Campaign Rhetoric: Separating Fact from Fiction in the Club’s Hourglass Room at the Inn at Penn. Mr. Farley will discuss the current presidential campaign and FactCheck’s goal of applying the best practices of both journalism and scholarship, and increasing public knowledge and understanding. Nearly two million people have looked up 6.5 million pages on FactCheck.org over the past month to get help sorting through all the politicians’ claims.

FactCheck.org is a nonpartisan, nonprofit “consumer advocate” for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in politics. FactCheck monitors the factual accuracy of what is said by major US political players in the form of TV ads, debates, speeches, interviews and news releases. FactCheck.org is a project of Penn’s Annenberg Public Policy Center.
