How To Correct Donald Trump In Real Time

[@cloudmapper9501]

Fact checking is (should be) almost completely equatable with the journalistic profession

[@HdRfreak21]

I beg to differ. Fact-checking is an integral part of journalism, but a good journalist has to do much more. For example, he/she has to be able to find facts, connect them, explain them, formulate an opinion about them, separate important from unimportant facts, and finally present them in a way that is nuanced, understandable and interesting.

[@Schmidtelpunkt]

Actually, fact-checking even comes before connecting anything. It is the foundation. Without it, tv journalists are about as reliable as some random youtube video or blog without sources. They make themselfs redundant.

[@servietsky67]

I studied journalism in a famous french school a few years ago (precision : it was a science journalism cursus for people with science background in college), and we had a teacher/active journalist who said one day in class : "have you ever heard of fact-checking ?" and started to explain this new "trend" in media. I was baffled. My first reaction was "Isn't it our VERY JOB to check the facts, before or after ?! Especially for us who studied science before journalism ?!!!". The journalist/teacher said "you know, in the press, with the speed of information and news, you don't always have the time or the ressources to really investigate on a subject. So yeah fact-checking is rarely done." Side note : I'm not working in the press as of right now. In fact I got my diploma and moved on to another field.

[@bradscott3165]

I was a communications major for a while as well. Whoever bought my old textbook got a schooling from my margin notes; The entire textbook read like propaganda for the entertainment and publishing industry.

[@cartesianphantom7396]

Ha! I was a journalism major for a bit, too. That is, until my textbook and professors related that everything is geared toward oversimplification and sensationalism.

[@DeusExAstra]

The debate should have a small army of real-time fact checkers, and should be calling out on-screen every truthful or false comment they make. I'm tired of the media giving Trump a pass when he lies.

[@MrOplef]

Buddy if you want honestly in politics Trump isn't the one you want to be worried about

[@zachmunro4407]

ummm I believe they are referring to the many lies that Trump says in the video above and how the reporters just go along with it without questioning further. Even when they know what he is saying i s wrong. Did you watch the video?

[@thebattalion8938]

"Media giving Trump a pass" PFFFFFFFFFFFT

[@DeusExAstra]

Zach Munro It's not even just that. Trump has made some statements that should absolutely disqualify someone from running... and the media never covers them. I'm talking about his multiple suggestions that he'd commit war crimes and stuff like that. When was the last time there was any mention of that on the news? They should be talking about it non-stop. Same with his asking that Russia spy on his opponent in order to help him win the election. I mean this guy is a Republican, the party of Reagan who called the Soviets the "Evil Empire", but Trump casually suggests that they should be spying on Americans to influence our elections and help him win... and crickets from the media.

[@thebattalion8938]

[@emprahsfinest7092]

So Trump made a single comment on an obscure tabloid show once, and has criticized the war in Iraq numerous times...all as a private citizen, and that's suddenly equivalent to voting for it as a US senator? Maybe you should focus on nerdy things instead of politics.

[@UserName-us1nm]

Maybe you should focus on ketchup.

[@العربي-ظ1غ]

the problem is , he was spewing this as a reason to vote for him , if he said it one time ok , but every time he was in a debate , interview , talking about the clintons , talking about obama , talking about his poilitical rivals , complimenting himself , he made us remember I WAS AGAINST IRAQ while he wasn't , you accepting it shows just how much you are so far up his ass , yes clinton voted for it , if trump was against it from the begining I would give him that prestige of braging about it , but he wasn't people should't vote for him based on a lie FACT CHECK

[@lameduck1690]

He's running for president, fucks sake.

[@worldshaper1723]

The point is he is lying about it. He was not against the war. Hillary was for it and she admits it, her mistake is bigger obviously. Nevertheless Trump is about this, if choose to ignore the facts it's your choice.

Spot on. Too bad that most people don't seem to give a toss about "facts" and are more concerned about "feels" these days.

[@jarynn8156]

To be fair... Neither candidate offers the facts. Trump runs on a platform of "Vote for me because I win". Clinton runs on a platform of "Vote for me because I'm not Trump." The RNC would have you vote on a platform of "Vote for Trump because he isn't Clinton." No one is offering any ideas or facts or even trying to make a coherent message to the American people other than to fear the other side.

[@Concrete_Jake]

Trump isn't bad at all though, he just says things that are on his mind. His policies are good and his no BS attitude is good. Trump speaks in hyperbole and the media elites and political elites hate that. He isn't a politician like everyone else, he is the only genuine candidate running. He is also under constant bullshit and made-up stories that he is somehow literally Hitler. If you actually watch everything Trump says instead of the headlines or short 20 minute videos about how evil he is you would realize he is easily the best option. This is from someone who voted for Obama, so i'm not some right wing nut job like Alex Jones.

[@Concrete_Jake]

***** Hillary has already cost people their lives. Meanwhile, Trump said offensive things. I guess it's a toss-up.

[@kevinknorr9126]

+Your God Wilfred The "worse and worser" characterization is a media gloss over of the real situation. Trump has a very stable support base that consider him the right man for the job, period. Anyone who feels they are choosing between the lesser of two evils has just been lazy and is finally waking up to the fact that their party has led them astray. They need to take ownership of their own voting power. They need to stop relying on MSM sound bites and pay closer attention to what is going on in the world around them.

[@kevinknorr9126]

***** Never trust a ______ (fill in the blank). There are so many things that people like to put in that position (cop, lawyer, reporter, (race), (gender), etc.) I could also add "anonymous KZbin poster" (your mother didn't name you "Tesla"). I'll listen to what you have to say and then decide for myself. I trust myself first. Then I look for individual PEOPLE to place more of my trust. I tend to trust the man who calls himself Donald Trump. I trust him enough to hire him to be my president. Your little tidbit of advice is useless to me until you give me good reason to trust you and to believe that you are speaking in my best interest. Do you think that you are?

[@gtabraham1838]

True

[@Crasho327]

Pointing out that he didn't vote for the war is more a point about his lack of government experience since he's never been elected to an actual office than it is a valid point in his favor over Hillary Clinton. He could not have voted for or against the war, so, using that as a point for him is an argument you can't truly make. What is important here is that he did, in fact, say that he was for it even though he recently said he was always against it.

[@Thaheadband33]

She never claimed she was against it. He did. Try to operate in reality.

[@CarlosRodriguez-dh7mm]

She lied and said that her vote was for more inspections; not war. Now she backtracks and claims that her vote for war was a mistake based on false intelligence, so she obviously knew what she was voting for.

[@SeantommyE]

He never claimed Hillary didn't lie. He's not comparing the two on their positions about the war. The point is that they tell lies and aren't corrected (the war example with Trump being his claim that he opposed the war from the beginning, when that's clearly not the case. He may have opposed the war eventually, but not from the beginning. It's totally possible that he could make a compromise position that by "from the beginning" he just meant from early on, and define that however he wanted, but he's not even being challenged to assert that level of honesty. They're just being allowed to say whatever they want and not get challenged). The actual stances in question are not relevant to Nerdwriter's point, it's the fact that they're lying without anyone calling them out on it.

Hey Nerdwriter, great ideas and video! Getting news stations to fact check what politicians say could be a really effective method of creating an increased transparency within the realm of politicians, and what they say. However, news companies are often a part of a huge conglomerate that have political bias and creates the illusion of different opinions when in reality, they are all owned by the same entity that is conveying the same biased messages. I mention this issue because facts and fact checks can be manipulated to support the agenda of the politician or news station.

X7Maverick It's not about his opinion. It's about the lie. If Trump didn't say "I was against the war in Iraq" and criticized other people for supporting the war, we wouldn't be talking about this. We didn't go to war because of Hillary , we went to war because congress declared war based on false intelligence , and George W. Bush directed the military after congress declared war.

[@X7Maverick]

So we are gonna hold everyone to their lies? Hillary literally credits a KKK member I'm sorry but if you think Hillary did not have more of an impact than Trump in what happened whilest they were there you're way off. The video literally asks people to take this and run with it. The public always forgets and come november it is one of either Hillary or Trump. One of them

[@randomguy5990]

X7Maverick He had some examples of Hillary lying in the video. Robert Carlyle wasn't a KKK member when he mentored Hillary. He was a congressman. "Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, former President Bill Clinton, West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin and members of Congress attended the memorial service for Byrd at the State Capitol in Charleston, West Virginia, on July 2, 2010." I guess our government loves KKK members too ? "Well, it's easy to state what has been my biggest mistake. The greatest mistake I ever made was joining the Ku Klux Klan. And I've said that many times. But one cannot erase what he has done. He can only change his ways and his thoughts. That was an albatross around my neck that I will always wear. You will read it in my obituary that I was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. " - Robert Byrd

Actually, there are some signs of hope. During the first debate Bloomberg TV did have and advertised that they would have fact checks in real time in their news feed. How good it was is a topic in itself but they did deliver. I saw it on the feed on the right side of the screen as the debate was going on. I am hoping this continues and more people tune in to the stations that do it. It could be an opportunity to show by pur views that this is what people want. An increased demand may create more supply and potentially change how the media presents things.

I fucking hate politics.

i hope the journalist see this.

[@contactkeithstack]

The first debate should also open with General knowledge questions asked back and forth. Questions of current events, American history, diplomatic history, world politics, the legislative process, history of civil rights etc. With no categories given out before debate. Not knowing certain answers should not be a negative in itself. A candidate could be more ignorant of the legislative process but have more vision, a more genius moral understanding. But people will know just how weak his understanding is of governing/history/diplomacy and if it's disqualifying. This is similar to something you have to do to be a citizen, let alone a president.

[@thereisnospace]

3.200 people hate it when get corrected after fact checking...

[@roseyli1]

Wow - watching this three weeks after the election, makes it seem all the more poignant. Something has really gone wrong with how people perceive lies and truth, on all sides of the fence.

[@joegamer6914]

fact checking is extremely important

[@yohami]

I like you, Nerdwriter, but how you side with Hillary here is despicable!

[@FallenEpic]

Did you even watch the video? He calls her out on this too and frankly saying that someone is bad does not mean you think their opponent is good.

[@yohami]

I watched the video, he says that Trump is in "another level" which is ridiculous all things considered.

[@FallenEpic]

***** There is a difference between saying that one person is worse than the other and actually endorsing one of them. People can say that Trump is worse than Clinton and still not support Clinton.

[@yohami]

FallenEpic True, but he likes Hillary

[@FallenEpic]

***** How can you tell that?

[@kalebvinh]

You guys get the choice to vote for a Looney Toons character or a bag of snakes.

I'd pay to have a Bugs Bunny episode pranking Trump

[@Shastaphirre]

A scrolling "fact check" at the top of the screen would go a long way. Just have a designated fact-checker for each tv station.

[@kevinhuddle]

Our candidates, media and government are failing us. It almost seems to be coordinated. There's something more going on. Keep digging nerdwriter.

[@ricardoguanipa8275]

Donald Trump is at best Lord Walder Frey and at Worst craster While Hillary is at best Lady Olenna Tyrell and at worst Melysandra...

Don't insult Lady Olenna like that.

This should have been called, " How to social engineer people into voting for Hillary.".

[@right8630]

Ok well for this to be a GREAT article he needs to do another on how to fact check Hilary, I support trump but understand he isn't in total agreement with me.

[@right8630]

And u lied through out this and have none of the true facts that u could and to say trumps campaign is based on lies is a lie it was based on him saying he will fix the boarder and fix the veting system he never said there wasn't a veting system he said it was non existent in its duties I know the facts and ur so called facts are vague and misleading.

[@sumguy789654]

[@kellycolleen20]

*border :D

[@KatinkaHesselink]

Trump lies about 70% of the time. Hillary 'only' 25%. Disagreeing with him on 'some of the issues' is meaningless, given how often he lies.

[@MrBeastknows]

How can you support Trump, despite the fact he lies constantly? Hillary lies as well and he points it out in the fucking video that you obviously didn't watch.

[@PhilsRealm]

what do you use to make these videos? I really like the visuals of your videos :)

[@brendanedmonds]

Here's my question, At the start of the video, you say that you can verify that Trump was not against the war from the beginning. However, you prove that firstly he was against the war in 2004, however, you can't find any reference to him saying he support it. The only quote you can find that is vaguely for the war in Iraq is when Donald Trump said in an "I don't really have an opinion about this that you will like" tone, said "yeah ... I guess so". That's not really evidence that suggests that he was wholeheartedly for the war in Iraq, nor does it confirm it with 100% certainty that he was for it at the time. You have to remember Trump is not a member of the political elite nor a career politician, and thus he may have had different opinions to what he said publicly as it may affect his businesses (many business owners do this). All politicians lie, and to be honest it is perfectly expected for them to lie. It's not up to the mainstream media to debunk those lie's as this will lead to the partisan reporting on issues we see today. The debunking of lies should be reserved for the voter and the alternative media such as yourself. Finally, the issue with Clinton's lies is she didn't only lie to the people, she lied to the FBI and congress. What's even more shocking is that the FBI has tried to cover up the lies. Even the FBI said that if anyone else had of done it, they would be put in jail for life. This is corruption and is something we should all be against regardless of political affiliation. Her lies affected millions of lives. Her lies signify its ok for politicians to have one set of rules, while the rest of us have to live by another. It signifies that we live in a class system, where rules are different depending on your status, and which club you're in. She is what you would call a Bourgeoisie. Us Proletariat need to stand up to these kinds of people and fight for what is right. If we are to have true socialism in the US, we need everyone, regardless of whether you're a politician or not, to live under the same rules. I would urge people to vote for Trump to send a message to the government, that we don't tolerate corruption in the USA, and for we want to see justice served to Hillary Clinton.

[@ZipplyZane]

Fact check: There is plenty of evidence he lied. www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/jun/22/donald-trump/trump-still-wrong-his-claim-opposed-iraq-war-ahead/ Fact Check: Clinton did not lie to the FBI, as Comey himself said. www.politico.com/blogs/james-comey-testimony/2016/07/james-comey-clinton-not-lie-fbi-225212 Fact Check: The FBI never said that anyone else would have been put in prison for life. Because there wasn't actually a law against what she did: wonkette.com/603709/why-hillary-clinton-will-not-rot-in-jail-for-aggravated-emailing-your-ultimate-emails-wonksplainer Clearly the American people can't be trusted to do their own fact checking, as your "question" contains multiple untrue statements of fact. You just repeated what you heard Trump say. And, FYI, asking a question and advocating a position are two different things.

[@brendanedmonds]

Full quote in the interview: “Yeah, I guess so, I wish the first time it was done correctly.” Fact Check: Clinton did not lie to the FBI, as Comey himself said.

Hi! First of all, congratulations for the amazing content you put out in this channel, I'v been following for a long time and think you're one of the best "entertainers" on KZbin. With that said, I recently saw "DEMOLITION" by Jean-Marc Vallée, with Jake Gyllenhaal, and was wondering if you could do a essay about it. I would love to your opinion and perspective on the movie. Keep up the great work!

Can we be harder on Matt lauer now???

[@subroy7123]

It's weird that Chris Wallace, the one who said it wasn't his job to be a "truth squad", was also the one who grilled both candidates harder than the other moderators. He got Hillary to actually pivot from open borders to Russia, something which the other hosts couldn't do.

Quite possibly one of the most important and relevant you tube videos of our time. Media definitely needs to be fixed. The tendentious nature of reporting is having a detrimental effect on the ability of our country to function properly.

[@keymason8452]

why didnt you just call the video: how to correct the candidates in real time? clickbait? the video is nice but too shallow. good starting point though.

Working on it.

[@utube9000]

How about you also work on the art of not splitting hairs? Sure, you can parse words...and point to Donald Trump saying "Yeah...I guess so" in a half hearted voice, right after the war started. But you are missing the big picture (perhaps intentionally?) The bottom line Nerdwriter, is that Donald Trump PUBLICLY opposed the Iraq War MORE THAN ANY OTHER CANDIDATE - INCLUDING CLINTON AND THE DEMOCRATS (with the one exception being Bernie Sanders) And he did so WHILE the war was still raging. YES, there was a brief period where he half-heartedly supported the war (as in "Yeah...I guess so) but that was because the war had JUST BEGUN and the entire country was cheering on the troops. There are numerous interviews after that (such as the Wolf Blitzer interview) where Trump lambasts the war and calls George Bush "the worst president we've ever had." AND he publicly criticized the Bush family during the primaries and saved us from a possible THIRD Bush presidency. More importantly, he is CURRENTLY opposed to starting any more wars and he's calling for diplomatic relations with Russia instead of saber rattling like Clinton and the globalists. Instead of playing smarmy attack dog, maybe you should look at the BIG PICTURE and realized that Trump- despite all his flaws- is actually LESS likely to push America into a war than a controlled globalist like Clinton would be.

[@richardjamesgallardojr.7584]

[@c.a.g.3130]

This is a distinction clearly lost on the host who seems unable to extricate his head from Hillary's hiney. Really, when it comes to flat out f*king lies, who could ever compete with the Queen herself, but this does not seem to register with Nerfrider.
