Cheney directs debate viewers to wrong web site
Vice President Dick Cheney urged viewers to visit FactCheck.com during the vice presidential debate but the site redirected to George Soros sponsored pages. The mix up drew 48,000 hits in an hour as traffic trickled to Soros.com and Lipbalm.com, with FactorCheck.org later noting Cheney had not personally profited from Halliburton Iraq contracts.
