A big election year gave San Diego politicos plenty of ammunition for bold public pronouncements in 2012.
In this episode of Fact Check TV, Scott Lewis and I highlight the most notorious fact checks of the year, from the biggest whopper to the dirtiest declaration.
We also discuss a councilwoman’s recent claim that she was forced to cut $200 million from the city’s budget during her first week in office.
If you’re hungry for more Fact Check TV, you might also enjoy these recent episodes:

New episodes of Fact Check TV appear on NBC 7 San Diego every Friday during the 6 p.m. newscast and our website the following Monday. What should we feature on our next episode?
