Why is Fox News fact-checking Trump?

GLOBAL
About this episode

Fox News cut away from Trump's victory speech in South Carolina to correct his lies, in real time. And call out his election denials.

What's going on between the TV channel and their former hero - and how long will it last.

Also on the episode - why is Biden talking about a Gaza peace deal in an ice cream parlour and who is the Republican senator saying he backs the Alabama court decision to stop IVF despite wanting more children in his state.

There's so much going on this week, and that's before we even start to discuss the Uncommitted of Michigan.... and why it could be Biden's downfall.

Editor: Gabriel Radus

Video Production: Shane Fennelly
