"A political convention is a license if not to lie then at least to tell the truth creatively."
That’s the assessment of New York Times reporters Jackie Calmes and Peter Baker, who have put together a reality check feature that looks at some of the claims made during the just concluded Democratic and Republican conventions.
They start with this statement:
"I will keep taxes low
and cut them where I can.
My opponent will raise them."

The cool feature looks at the rhetoric and the reality on various topics from eight speakers across the political spectrum.
