since these things are all so scripted to begin with, have the speakers submit their scripts to the major news outlets who will be broadcasting the conventions. these networks then run fact checkers on all the talking points in each speech and put up a small blurb with the actual truth each candidate is trying to twist to support their platform. we all already know each candidate is trying to twist and spin the facts to portray their opponents as something other than what they are, let's have their words thrown back at them in real time coverage too!
Neither partys candidates will pre-release their speeches to the media precisely because of things like what you suggest. After all, half the point of convention speeches is that candidates can present facts and non-facts in a tightly controlled environment that supports their narrative.

The absence of either filter or rebuttal diminishes the informative value of conventions.
