‘Trump v the Truth’ will run for several hours on Sept. 17 and is set to be punctuated by “brief text-based fact-checks.”
Channel 4 is welcoming Donald Trump to the U.K. with a special program: an unbroken catalogue of over 100 falsehoods, distortions and inaccuracies he’s come up with since taking office in January.
The U.S. President will come to London for a second state visit this month, and the British channel has vowed to put a spotlight on his “prolific oeuvre of untruths.”
On Sep. 17 from 10 a.m. local time, Channel 4 will broadcast Trump v the Truth, the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths running over several hours. The statements will be punctuated by “brief text-based fact-checks, offering viewers the truth behind the tweets, speeches and soundbites.”
I am assuming the Channel 4 website is geolocked to the United Kingdom… So I really hope that they stream this on YouTube as well.
Channel 4 do put a lot of stuff on YouYube but you could likely use a VPN.
I think the point is a wider audience seeing it. Billy Joe Beergut isn’t going to seek it out
Channel 4 is as wide an audience as you can get in the Uk as it’s one of the free channels that everybody has access to.
As for the even wider audience of the world I would hope they do put it in their YouTube.
I expect it will show up somewhere on the high seas shortly after it airs.🏴☠️
They must’ve had to rotate through editors like the cleanup workers at Chernobyl.
Probably had a psychologist trained in PTSD available to provide support if needed.
I want a version edited like Pop-Up Video (or whatever it was called) from VH1
Yes! But they’d have to pause the video to pop up the multi-level rebuttals:
Trump: Mexican people are evil terrible lazy criminals
Pop immigrants are usually the most law-abiding group in America
Pop immigrants are usually the hardest workers, adaptable and versatile. They usually work jobs that go unfilled without them
Pop Latin Americans have a rich culture and history, and happily celebrate with vibrant colour and intricate dance and song
Pop people of Mexico enjoy less crime on average than Americans
Etc
Like, there’s only so much time!
Is untruth even a word? What happened to falsehood? Sounds way better … Untruth sounds made up
I’ve been partial to calling it lying or deceptively engaging in bad faith to prevent people from being able to make well informed choices taking away their agency and ability to accomplish personal and community goals unimpeded.
Unnews. Unfacts. This is unfun.
I think Fox “News” has them beat.
Fascists lie. It’s what they do.
So a live feed?
They literally included Channel 4’s Tweet saying it starts at 10pm… and still somehow got the time wrong.
LLMs are bad with numbers.
Sept 18. Trump to sue Channel 4
“Mean and nasty Channel 4”.
I bet some lies in there too
They’re giving him an interview then, are they?
