From Ann Althouse’s blog we have this sage advice. I hate to think we need to seek lawyer’s advice before making a political commentary but  we can probably minimize this problem if we spend a little more time looking at the problem from the other side. We seem to see a lot of “misrepresenting the facts” problems when people are in a rush to publish.

If you have a set of facts that you want to present to make a political point, you have to frame your words carefully, so that your grasping for strength of expression doesn’t result in any inaccuracy.
