You are thinking of "truthiness". Worthiness is a well-established
English word, I don't know how long its history is but I am guessing
it extends back well before the history of television.
The Oxford English Dictionary indeed lists "Thruthiness", redirecting
to "Truthy" described as " Characterized by truth; truthful, true.
Hence "truthiness, truthfulness, faithfulness.".
