Bloomberg TV, PolitiFact and WIRED will be conducting real-time fact-check of tonight’s presidential debate with Bloomberg conducting theirs on-screen.
Bloomberg TV will be conducting on-screen fact-checks of statements made by Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton during tonight’s presidential debate, according to a Monday morning report by Politico.
According to Politico, “The channel’s decision to conduct an on-screen fact-check sets Bloomberg apart from the other major TV networks, none of whom have committed to doing on-screen fact checks during the debate. Most will leave the fact-checking to segments in the post-debate analysis coverage.”
PolitiFact also announced this morning that they will be conducting a real-time fact-check of the debate via their Twitter account.
As PolitiFact reports that they “will have 18 fact-checkers working Monday’s first presidential debate… [providing] you fact-checks in near real-time starting at 9 p.m. E.T. by relying on [their] database of nearly 13,000 fact-checked claims.” You can follow their feed here 0r you can go directly to their Twitter page.
