‘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.”
Fascists lie. It’s what they do.
I so hope this is available somewhere I can download it. 100 seems like a small number to use. How long would it be if it were everything?
First term, I think the Washington Post stopped counting at 10,000.
Well, he told over 30,000 verifiable lies just during his first term, sooooooo…
I feel like there should just be a broadcast channel starting from media on his first lies and you know, horrible stuff like how young is to young, to present and just looping every few months when it finally gets to the end.
Wait, these 100 lies aren’t just 1 days worth?
oh that would make more sense then.
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 works jobs that go unfilled without them
Pop Latin Americans have a rich culture and history, and happily celebrate with rich 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!
Sept 18. Trump to sue Channel 4
“Mean and nasty Channel 4”.
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.🏴☠️
Is untruth even a word? What happened to falsehood? Sounds way better … Untruth sounds made up
There is a difference between falsehood and untruths. If you give a partial answer it can be “not false” and also fail to be truth. Suppose he is asked about the economy and he says some sector is doing good but doesn’t mention the ones doing bad, is he lying? You get false information even though what he says is true.
Fox News is great at the lie-by-omission thing. In fact, they rarely tell a bald-faced lie.
Remember the Snowden revelations? When that was going down, I was trapped in a house for a week where the people had Fox on 24/7. I mean that literally. They’d smoke weed and fall asleep in their recliners. Headline news, worldwide, and I did not hear a single word from Fox. Not one mention. Which I still haven’t figured out as they could have nailed Obama to the wall.
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.
literal newspeak lmao
Whatever happened to rapid liar?
“Rapid” part went away with dementia
Since he’s physically and psychologically painful to behold anyway, every clip should just be fullscreen plastered with the plethora of cited sources debunking his every word.
I bet some lies in there too
I think Fox “News” has them beat.
Really hope the average Briton is better educated than the average American.
Don’t hold your breath. Remember Brexit?
Brexit barely squeaked by, but still, it shouldn’t have been close.
Oh dear.
I have some bad news for you there.
U WAT MATE!?!
No they’re not. We have people hanging flags everywhere with racist undertones and I’ve now seen America flags in my town. Like America is a bastion of what we want to become ffs.
I don’t want to say the average person is stupid but they’re easy to lie to and get on side apparently.
As a Brit:
Hahaha hahahaha…
Oh wait, you’re serious?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I’d say they are, but not by much.
Have you seen the anti immigration protests recently? There is a reason the British are called the Americans of Europe.
They literally included Channel 4’s Tweet saying it starts at 10pm… and still somehow got the time wrong.
LLMs are bad with numbers.
They’d have to rival Fox New’s airtime, so I am not sure that it would be the total longest.
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.
So a live feed?
No, they said it would be the longest… I’m not sure he has the stamina to beat his record
Maybe they made a Trump supercut?

Oeuvre means body of work. Oeuf is egg in French.
