New reality TV show idea: Immediate Fact Check discussion

Wouldn't it be great if someone set up a discussion of the election issues, and built into it time for fact-checkers to stop the lies as they happen? A moderator who would stop and check everything they say, and follow up on every lie and essaggeration.

The momentum of the conversation would be driven by the truths, rather than empty hyperbole.

I would also like to see someone refuse to accept broad descriptive outcomes and instead, insist on all answers being specific: Timeframes, scopes, sequences, funding, and administration.

That would be incredible TV.
