For nearly four decades, Khamenei was the most influential figure in Iranian politics. He was not only the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and responsible for appointing and dismissing the head of the judiciary, but he also openly and covertly intervened in matters related to cabinet ministers and members of parliament.

Over and over, when the president repeated lies that were debunked months or years ago, Llamas responded simply right' or yeah' or didn't acknowledge them at all, Dale wrote, continuing: Trump's rapid-fire dishonesty is difficult for any interviewer to handle, especially given the limited time they are given by the White House, and it's not uncommon for them to largely ignore the serial inaccuracy in order to get to the topics they've planned to address.

Pencil's experiment focused on written copy in Facebook product ads rather than big-budget creative. Despite widely held concerns that the tech could cannibalize copywriting jobs, that doesn't mean professional creatives are ignoring the tech. Shruthi Subramanian of Serviceplan Munich (above) was named the most-awarded copywriter in the world in The Drum's World Creative Rankings. She says the tools can be put to good use, albeit with caution.

"With the widespread use of social media, the global spread of 'fake news' has become a serious social issue," Masahiro Yamamoto, the documentary's director, said in an email. " In Japan as well, information of mixed accuracy is circulating widely, and the situation continues to worsen. Against this backdrop, we felt there was much to learn from PolitiFact, which has been conducting fact-checking for nearly two decades."

President Donald Trump spoke at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland on Wednesday, and CNN's resident fact-checker Daniel Dale conducted a live evisceration of what he dubbed a barrage of false claims from the president. Last year, Trump appeared by videoconference at the annual gathering, delivering a rambling speech that ping-ponged between topics, insulted his political opponents, as well as included a number of bold claims, exaggerations, and utter falsehoods.

This presser is bizarre even for him, began Grisham, adding: It's all the usual rambling, off-topic tales, half-truths, lies, I've fixed everything no one has ever seen anything like it stuffbut it's low-energy & feels like he'smentally slipping. Congress-plz wake up. Plz.

It's long been rumored that tensions between Brooklyn Beckham and his famous parents, Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham, grew in the run-up to his April 2022 wedding to heiress Nicola Peltz, especially after his mother reportedly declined to design the bride's wedding dress.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The International Fact-Checking Network at the nonprofit Poynter Institute has awarded $750,000 grants to 25 fact-checking organizations, providing flexible support to help fact-checking newsrooms keep publishing through a period of rapid funding contraction while they strengthen long-term sustainability. Recipients include organizations working under pressure in and around Belarus and Russia; verification newsrooms navigating economic instability in Venezuela; and teams building verification capacity in places including Nigeria, Kosovo and Iraq.

The International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) at the Poynter Institute strongly opposes the Trump administration's recent decision to deny U.S. visas to European public officials and civil society leaders. This action, which includes the blacklisting of individuals for their professional contributions to information integrity, represents a disturbing departure from historic principles of free expression. These bans punish public servants and researchers and are antithetical to democratic values.

Trump's primetime address to the nation was widely panned by critics on both the right and left as largely pointless.

And I tell the story, Glenn, that in my first term, I had the honor of being the first president in 28 years to lower drug prices during the course of the year. And we actually did. And I was so proud of myself. We called a news conference. I announced it. It was one-eighth of 1 percent. One-eighth of 1 percent.
