‘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.”

    That is a direct quote from the channel’s chief content officer Ian Katz. So before it even started they already soften the blow. How likely is it that they now started doing that but did not do it for the collection of bullshit prior, when they created it? I doubt it.

    This is exactly the same as calling it “immigration crackdown”, absolutely disgusting.
