A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

For Firefox users, there is media bias / propaganda / fact check plugin.

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!
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.🏴☠️
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.
I have some bad news for you there.
U WAT MATE!?!
Oh dear.
As a Brit:
Hahaha hahahaha...
Oh wait, you're serious?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
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.
Have you seen the anti immigration protests recently? There is a reason the British are called the Americans of Europe.
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
I think Fox “News” has them beat.
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.
Sept 18. Trump to sue Channel 4
They'd have to rival Fox New's airtime, so I am not sure that it would be the total longest.
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.
They literally included Channel 4's Tweet saying it starts at 10pm... and still somehow got the time wrong.
LLMs are bad with numbers.
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?
Well done, lads!
I bet some lies in there too
