    I’d love fact checking, but I can’t see that working in real-time.

    It works fine. There’s a show on the BBC I watch called Question Time, and the moderator frequently calls out the guests when they’re not being truthful or not telling the whole story.

      Yeah when Americans see BBC interviewers checking the guests they’re stunned. “It’s . . . it’s beautiful,” they say. “We didn’t know they could do that” they say, with a tear in their eye.

          This was very funny when it happened, and has since become a standard political tactic. Just repeatedly not answering the question with no shame. It’s truly genius.
