A Duke University team expects to have a product available for election year that will allow television networks to offer real-time fact checks onscreen when a politician makes a questionable claim during a speech or debate.

The mystery is whether any network will choose to use it.

The response to President Donald Trump’s Jan. 8 speech on border security illustrated how fact-checking is likely to be an issue over the next two years. Networks briefly considered not airing Trump live and several analysts contested some of his statements afterward, but nobody questioned him while he was speaking.

Duke already offers an app, developed by professor and Politifact founder Bill Adair, that directs users to online fact checks during political events. A similar product has been tested for television, but is still not complete.

The TV product would call on a database of research from Politifact, Factcheck.org and The Washington Post to point out false or misleading statements onscreen. For instance, Trump’s statement that 90 percent of the heroin that kills 300 Americans each week comes through the southern border would likely trigger an onscreen explanation that much of the drugs were smuggled through legal points of entry and wouldn’t be affected by a wall.

Welnee, elke rechter fluit hem terug. Verder; Who cares? Het is gewoon weer Trump die "ander onderwerp" brult.

Oh, dat is wel erg bijzonder. Vraag me af op welke manier dat dat dan niet accuraat zou zijn.

Ze hebben meen ik nooit eerder wat gezegd over welke verslaggeving dan ook, wat die conclusie op zich wel kracht bij zou zetten. Ik bedoelde uiteraard wel specifieker dan "cruciale punten".

Volgens mij is het enige cruciale aan het verhaal dat er bewijs was dat Trump Cohen de opdracht gaf te liegen.

emptywheel twitterde op zaterdag 19-01-2019 om 02:39:53 Fuckit, here goes.Folks, as I noted in my post form this morning, the BuzzFeed story conflicted with what SCO had Cohen allocute to under oath. That raised questions for me last night. https://t.co/Z7SpvQhQNv reageer retweet

quote:

The New York Times has not independently confirmed the Buzzfeed report. One person familiar with Mr. Cohen’s testimony to the special counsel’s prosecutors said that Mr. Cohen never implied that the president had pressured him to lie to Congress.

In each case, the conduct was intended to benefit Client-1, in accordance with Client-1’s directives." reageer retweet

rgoodlaw twitterde op zaterdag 19-01-2019 om 02:52:06 Smart catch by @KenDilanianNBC👇Cohen's 11/30 memo stated that his false statements, like campaign finance violations, were "in accordance with Client-1's directives."+ presumably Special Counsel's Office would have told court if they had reason to disbelieve Cohen's claim. https://t.co/eWkYhCHb5W reageer retweet

rgoodlaw twitterde op zaterdag 19-01-2019 om 03:07:44 If defendant (Cohen) tells the court X happened (I was directed by the President of United States to lie), the Special Counsel would need to tell the court if they believed that statement was falseSpecial Counsel did not refute Cohen. In fact said he was genuine and forthcoming reageer retweet

RonanFarrow twitterde op zaterdag 19-01-2019 om 01:50:26 I can’t speak to Buzzfeed’s sourcing, but, for what it’s worth, I declined to run with parts of the narrative they conveyed based on a source central to the story repeatedly disputing the idea that Trump directly issued orders of that kind. reageer retweet

twitter:

RonanFarrow twitterde op zaterdag 19-01-2019 om 02:26:16 Note that the general thrust of Cohen lying to Congress “in accordance with” or “to support and advance” Trump’s agenda (per Cohen’s legal memo) is not in dispute. The source disputed the further, more specific idea that Trump issued—and memorialized—repeated direct instructions. reageer retweet

quote:

President Donald Trump plans to offer Democrats another proposal to end the shutdown when he addresses the nation from the White House on Saturday afternoon -- what officials are describing as his third offer to end the shutdown, according to a senior administration official.

The official told CNN that Trump's idea is to put something on the table to get Democrats to engage with negotiations. Trump is not expected to back down from his demand for a border wall, but the plan will seek to entice Democrats by offering other concessions.

However, this plan is not based on negotiations with Democrats and White House officials are pessimistic that it will change much in stalled talks, because Democrats have previously refused to counter the White House's proposal. Instead they have insisted that the President reopen the government, then engage in negotiations over border security.

The official added that discussions about a national emergency are ongoing in the administration and the President is not expected to announce a decision on that during Saturday's speech. However, nothing is definite until it's announced by the President.

Trump announced earlier Friday evening that he would be making a statement to the nation at 3 p.m. Saturday from the White House. The speech will come on the 29th day of the government shutdown, which began last month when congressional Democrats and Trump failed to reach a deal to fund roughly a quarter of the government.
