What if there was a YouTube-style platform where you could watch politicians or news broadcasts, and the service would automatically flag statements in real time based on the video’s transcript as true or false?

There is an excellent book called “straight and crooked thinking” by Robert Thouless. It has 13 chapters, each of which covers a different type of crooked thinking. And modern politicians have invented more (eg. a straightforward swap of the words ‘I’ and ‘you’).
Next to each political speech or news broadcast, display which of these 14 types of crooked thinking is being used at the moment. And display a total at the end.
Ahh…censorship…who decides on truth?
