A followup to "UserDriven: Fact check dot huh? :-)." It turns out that FactCheck.com is a for-profit advertising site based in the Cayman Islands. "FactCheck.com decided to redirect traffic after it became inundated with hits — about 100 a second after the debate, John Berryhill, a Philadelphia lawyer for FactCheck.com, said Wednesday. And it directed traffic to the Soros site at www.georgesoros.com. "This was to relieve stress on the service and to express a political point of view," said Mr. Berryhill, who spoke with the site's administrators shortly after the debate ended. They picked Mr. Soros not only for his political views, Mr. Berryhill said, but because the billionaire could afford the costly deluge of hits the site would receive in the wake of the debate. Plus, the site administrators didn't want to point surfers to a candidate's site that was asking for money." (Globetechnology).
