A photorealistic realtime virtual anchorman presents live, real news. The anchorman retrieves information from real news sources, and can present it in one of two ways: as it is being report, or as it is being reported with the truth reversed. The visitor is allowed to select which version of truth they prefer by using a television remote control device containing two buttons, labeled "TRUTH1" and "TRUTH2".
