Media Fact-Checkers Twist Themselves In Knots Defending Biden’s Town Hall Disaster
Media Fact-Checkers Twist Themselves In Knots Defending Biden’s Town Hall Disaster | The Daily Wire
17 Feb 2021 ~~ By Amanda Prestigiacomo
President Joe Biden’s stumbling and sometimes shocking answers during Tuesday night’s town hall event with CNN prompted left-wing media “fact-checkers” to tie themselves in knots to defend him.
As The Daily Wire highlighted, Biden seemingly claimed his administration did not have a vaccine to work with when he came into office: “It’s one thing to have the vaccine, which we didn’t have when we came into office, but a vaccinator, how do you get the vaccine into someone’s arm?”
“What we did, we got into office and found out the supply, there was no backlog, I mean, there was nothing in the refrigerator, figuratively and literally speaking,” the president said.
Biden telling the American people “we didn’t have” the vaccine when he came into office was not a lie, Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler explained, but rather “a typical Biden gaffe.”
“It was a verbal stumble, a typical Biden gaffe, as he had already mentioned 50 million doses being available when he took office,” the politico posted to Twitter. “Ex Trump officials should especially cool the outrage meter, as it just looks silly.”
~Snip~
Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway noted of Kessler’s “generosity” being turned up to “full blast” — a far cry from the media’s stance relative to former President Donald Trump.
“So the generosity spigot is being turned on full blast now, when it wasn’t even in existence the last four years. Interesting. What could account for the difference, I wonder? It’s a real mystery!” Hemingway mocked.
After considerable backlash, Kessler posted a 6-part thread defending his take on Biden, blasting Trump allies:
~Snip~
CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale defended Biden, too, saying he “clearly wasn’t trying to claim the vaccine did not exist at all under Trump” when he said there was no vaccine when he took office.
“Biden had said just prior that there were ‘only’ 50 million vaccine doses when he took office. I’m looking into that claim (and a bunch of other claims Biden made tonight), but he clearly wasn’t trying to claim the vaccine did not exist at all under Trump,” Dale rationalized.
~Snip~
During the same town hall event, Biden stoked outrage on social media when he seemingly referred to the human rights violations against the Uyghur population in China as a “different norm.”
“If you know anything about Chinese history, it has always been, the time when China has been victimized by the outer world is when they haven’t been unified at home,” Biden said, according to The New York Post. “So the central — well, vastly overstated — the central principle of Xi Jinping is that there must be a united, tightly-controlled China. And he uses his rationale for the things he does based on that.”
Comment:
Biden lies, and the left and their complicit quisling media compound the lie by claiming it was “not a lie” but “just a gaff”
Indeed the biased Pravada MSM claims they are fair and unbiased? Another whopper of a lie.
Journalism is dead. Biased lying Propaganda is now the norm
Basically the excuse is that the lie was so blatant and indefensible, he couldn't possibly have meant it because he said the complete opposite before? Okay! Was that the Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat Left's take when Trump said to peacefully protest, too, or did that not count?
We all know what Trump said not anything close to incitement. The PM/DSA Leftists and the biased LSM are dancing around words and phrases and throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks. The media (none of them are news) is a propaganda outfit for the left. Has been for years and years. We are all waking up to it. Glad to see that.
Rush just passed away though, sad day today.
How will China Joe, his handlers and the LSM use this moment in time?
Will they give this man the respect and honor he deserves by honoring him in his death? Or,, will they treat Rush with the disdain and hatred they've had for him all these years.
Like Krauthammer, the MSM and the Progressive Marxist Democrat Left heave a sigh of relief that both but especially now Rush is gone.
Who will take up the banner of Freedom of Speech and Truth against vast Marxist Socialist conspiracy against America?
