Fact Checkers!? Really!?

I might be a touch late on this one, but surely the existence of "Fact Checkers" after a televised debate between candidates running to be President of a country is openly admitting the fact that they are lying to the people they want to lead whenever they damn well please?

Voter: "Sure, I'll vote for you you cheeky scamp, as long as you stop that whole lying thing when you get in power."

Presidential Candidate: "Of course I will."

Fact Checker: "Actually, I think the candidate misspoke there. What he actually meant to say was 'Of course I won't', but, under the pressure of a televised debate, you can understand such a blip."

Hu-wuh?
