A fact-checker walks off the set of a live fact-checking show the moment she can't deliver the verdict she wanted.
The entire format exists to settle disputes between liberals and conservatives with live fact-checks. Watch what happens when the fact-checker doesn't get her way.
HOST: "What is the claim you want fact-checked?"
CONSERVATIVE: "That the president of El Salvador is a dictator."
[The fact-checker interrupts as if to rule it true. The director of the show cuts in.]
FACT-CHECKER: "I'm literally gonna walk off this set."
DIRECTOR: "You can't have editorializing from fact-checkers. You guys have to remain neutral."
[The fact-checker walks off set.]
Then the official verdict landed: false.
HOST: "There is no legal classification of dictator. He [Nayib Bukele] was elected, and El Salvador remains a democracy."
Freedom was one pipe away… or so he thought.
He climbed toward the light, only to emerge into open ocean, surrounded by armed guards. No land. No escape. His prison had been floating all along. Escape plan🎬
It's odd that the state police chief still has not held a full press conference explaining their findings and why they concluded his death was "no foul play."
