I think a David-McCandless-style graphic
(for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLqjQ55tz-U)
superimposed behind or beside the speaker would prove more helpful than TRUE or FALSE. If the speaker is discussing a segment of a national budget - Welfare Reform, for instance - a graphic could highlight the size of the speaker's subject relative to the other elements of the budget and within the total budget. If the speaker is discussing Stranger Killings, this could be highlighted in the context of total deaths per year. Such context might be useful in determining the relative societal weight of the issue, irrespective of truthfulness or accuracy.
