Not from what I read. If you can find where they said it, please let me know.
Didn't they also suggest that they were invited to see the document?
Nope. They just said they went to Chicago to inspect it. They don't say they were invited.
Weren't they the only ones invited to see the document?
I've seen no evidence to suggest they were.
I know of no other news organization that asked to see it and was denied. However, if you know of one, please let me know.
I wouldn't count showing a document briefly only to a partisan as good enough.
Factcheck is not a partisan group.
Yes, I know, they are funded by the Annenberg Foundation. But before you go off claiming Annenberg is some lefty group, do me a favor and look up who their president is. Then go look at the list of McCain donors.

The original FactCheck article (Born in the USA) made several claims. Those claims were investigated by others. I am not going to trace the links to links this far away from the real-time events. I'm sorry that you weren't here at the time to debate it with us. You can chug through all the old threads if you like. What I recall is that they were invited and given very limited time to see the document.
Factcheck is not a partisan group.
The original facsimile of the document was released to the Daily Kos website. Everything from there is tainted fruit, as far as I'm concerned. They should have released it to the AP, or the NYT, if they wanted impeccable credibility.

You subscribe to a very interesting strain of conservatism (belch).
