Google Will Now Fact Check Candidates Live During Debates
Lifehacker ^ | 1/26/16 | Alan Henry

Posted on 01/26/2016 7:27:17 PM PST by proust

You'll also be able to see in an instant if a candidate says something on stage that contradicts something they said only a few days ago on Twitter, or in a statement. Google will also highlight trending issues, social rankings, and more via Google Trends to help you dig into those statements, or a candidate's stance on an issue you care about.

Of course "fact checking" wasn't available during the Dem's debate...

And any “mistakes” they “accidentally” make will be promptly corrected the next day.

I'm so glad that the media will help me come to all the right conclusions. It saves me the trouble of thinking for myself.

THIS is why Trump's refusal to join the Fox debate resonates with people. Some of us are tired of the attempts at brainwashing.

No thanks Google. I’d rather rely on my lying ears than your forked tongue.

FU Google left wing devotees. Try checking news for Trump or Cruz the first articles to appear are heavily biased. Often first articles 6 months or older.

I’m getting more and more down on Fox. I watched part of the Kelly File just to see their reactions to Trump’s dropping out of the debate and it was pretty much what I expected. Now Hannity is towing the line and calling out Trump for something that happened 5 months ago rather than the insulting tweet from corporate hours earlier. It’s discouraging to see the decline of a network we once counted on to be the only voice for people sick of the propaganda coming out of the mainstream media.

They do appear to be pulling out all the stops.

Begin Bloody Megan, the terrorist sympathizer in the crowd (and most likely being called to ‘ask’ a question), and now having GEORGE WILL do the ‘fact checking’...anyone that DOES NOT think they were setting it all up to take Trump out is crazy.

But luckily Trump is also smart and can smell a trap a mile away...and VERY WISELY took the hanging curveball that Fox left waiting for him.

He’s a GENIUS.

They missed the Snopes.com report on Trump paying off the guys house for changing Trumps limo tire. Proven false. But the kicker was Trump didn’t correct Falwell after he said it. How Christian.

And I wonder if Google’s “facts” will really be facts.

Where would we be without the almighty Google? It’s not enough they labeled FreeRepublic as a harmful, malicious site.
