Significant political events often feature profound misinformation, with some claims becoming notorious 'hoaxes' that shape public perception. The practice of fact-checking plays a crucial role in revealing these deceptions, yet the results of such checks can sometimes seem inadequate. For instance, despite a plethora of falsehoods surfacing during political speeches, fact-checkers may only acknowledge a handful of misleading statements rather than fully addressing the volume and severity of the lies presented. This discrepancy raises concerns about the effectiveness and thoroughness of fact-checking in holding public figures accountable for their statements.
