I’d Like to Tune In

Channel 4 to Mark Trump’s U.K. Visit With “Longest Uninterrupted Reel of Untruths Ever Broadcast on Television”

Channel 4 is welcoming Donald Trump to the U.K. with a special program: an unbroken catalogue of over 100 falsehoods, distortions and inaccuracies he’s come up with since taking office in January.

The U.S. President will come to London for a second state visit this month, and the British channel has vowed to put a spotlight on his “prolific oeuvre of untruths.”

On Sep. 17 from 10 a.m. local time, Channel 4 will broadcast Trump v the Truth, the longest uninterrupted reel of untruths running over several hours. The statements will be punctuated by “brief text-based fact-checks, offering viewers the truth behind the tweets, speeches and soundbites.”

Of course, watching this would require me to watch and hear him. That’d be like the tenth circle of hell, TACO’s own circle, combining the worse elements of the circles of fraud, greed, treachery, lust, gluttony, and anger.

But I admire Channel 4. Go, Brits, go!

    1. Yes, yes, yes! I share your awe. My wife and I often talk about the difference between US journalists and those in most of the rest of the world. We need journalists like those of Oz, Ireland, Scotland, and England. Cheers

  1. even if I had a working TV I’d not want to watch. Trump in motion makes me itchy.

    It well may be that the journalists and such can take on Trump with such glee because he’s basically unable to cause harm to any of them. He can’t fire them, deport them, or sue anyone for defamation of character. Shoot he does that part so well just being himself…
