Television news has long used graphics at the bottom of their screens to identify the people and places in their stories – but with the 2016 presidential race, two networks lately have been injecting analysis into them during their news reporting.
It started in June when Donald Trump denied having said Japan should have nuclear weapons. CNN inserted this snarky line in their chyron:
TRUMP: I NEVER SAID JAPAN SHOULD HAVE NUKES (HE DID)
[...] While fact-checking may or may not be a legitimate new use of the chyron, what is noticeable is a distinct absence of chyron fact-checking for various claims made by Clinton.
For instance, Clinton recently told Fox News' Chris Wallace that FBI Director James Comey had called her answers about her private email use as secretary of state "truthful" – he did not make such a sweeping statement.

Um, there are some Roman lawyers, like Cicero, who would like to speak with your. And Many doctors of the Canon Law. And the Umma. And even Hammurabi.
Go for it. Show me examples of laws from those times that is relevant.
