This week, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow accused Fox News of going by different rules for polling criteria than it promised in May when it announced the top 10 candidates for tonight’s debate. She said it hurt snubbed Texas Gov. Rick Perry more than anyone. PunditFact rated her claim about the “changed” polling eligibility criteria Half True.

We have looked into many claims about ISIS or terrorism. Find them here.by PolitiFact via PolitiFact 8/7/2015 1:40:04 AM

Ted Cruz attacked Obama for not referring to ISIS as “Islamic terrorists.” When we looked into the potential reasons for it, experts said he is being cautious but also strategic. One said it would be wrong to call ISIS an “Islamic extremist group,” but it’s unnecessary to emphasize the religious aspect when “their doctrine is exceedingly unpopular among most people who consider themselves Muslims.”
