Ask HN: Can someone annotate the presidential debate and fact check it?

6 points by jkeesh ↗ HN
It was really frustrating watching the presidential debate, because it seemed that there was a disagreement on facts. One says, "Your plan says this," and the other says, "That isn't true."

I thought it would be pretty great if someone could annotate the debate and put big badges saying whether claims were true or false, and linking them to primary sources. Just a crazy idea. What do you think?

It seems like a video like this would be a great service to the internet. There are too many claims of misinformation and reference to contradicting studies.

Just came across your post. I launched a project I've been working on that might be of interest. It's online at https://bool.io and it's a tool for fact checking and debate. I kicked things off with many of the candidates' statements from last night.
