What’s partisan about fact? “Obama is a Muslim,” it said. “That is a FACT.” As best I can recall — my computer ate the email — that was how the key line went in a reader missive that had me doing a double take last week. It was not the outlandish assertion that struck me but, rather, the emphatic claim of its veracity. We’re talking Shift-Lock and all- Leonard Pitts caps so there would be no mistaking: “Obama is a Muslim. That is a FACT.” Actually, it is not a fact, but let that slide. We’re not here to renew the tired debate over Barack Obama’s religion. No, we’re only here to lament that so many of us seem to know “facts” that aren’t and that one party — guess which — has cynically nurtured, used and manipulated this ignorance for political gain. Consider a recent trio of studies testing the effectiveness of fact-checking journalism.

Our 75th Annual Spring Pilgrimage has come to a close and it was a tremendous success. It is with humility that I thank our Board of Directors, our staff, homeowners, scores of volunteers, Mayor Robert Smith and City of Columbus employees, and public officials. You The Columbus-Lowndes Convention and Visitors Bureau all deserve credit for believing in our mission of bringing visitors to our city and allowing us to manage the Columbus-Lowndes Tourism Program. We welcomed visitors from 38 states and 12 countries this year and they all commented on the friendliness and beauty of our city and county. The success of our program depends on all of us continuing to work together to make Nancy Carpenter Columbus a better place to live, work and visit. With heartfelt thanks, Nancy Carpenter, CEO Visit Columbus Columbus Cultural Heritage Foundation
