Fact Checking PTI

I came across this clip from CNN about the fact checking team for the ESPN show, Pardon the Interruption. PTI is a sports discussion show where 2 people, normally sportswriters Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon, debate the sports topics of the day. At the time, Tony Reali had a segment at the end of the show to make corrections to inaccuracies or omissions made during the broadcast.

It's an interesting idea that could be more widely used. Getting sports statistics correct is easier than digging through the intricacies and spin involved in something like a political debate.

ESPN show keeps itself honest
