What does FactCheck.org do that news organizations could not do for themselves?

The central question is whether Mr. Romney’s ownership of Bain — which the campaign does not deny — makes him responsible for the firm’s actions in his absence.
FactCheck.org, which examined Mr. Obama’s claims, concluded that it did not. It noted that Mr. Romney stated on federal financial disclosure forms that he had “not had any active role with any Bain Capital entity and has not been involved in the operations of any Bain Capital entity in any way.”
