Why has fact-checking disappeared under Biden?
The Hill ^ | Sept 18, 2022 | Joe Concha

Posted on 09/18/2022 8:27:08 AM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

Fact-checking under President Trump was a bustling business. Seemingly every day, and sometimes by the hour, the 45th president’s every word was scrutinized, which all comes with the job.

But under President Biden, fact checkers are enjoying what feels like extended vacations or have simply checked out in terms of scrutinizing the many ways that he is misleading the public.

Take CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale as a prime example of apathy around holding the current president accountable.

From June 2019 until November 2020, Dale appeared or was mentioned on CNN more than once per day, on average, according to Mediaite. Estimating conservatively, that’s more than 500 appearances or mentions on a national network in the span of just 16 months.

No surprise as Obama wasn't (isn't) fact checked either.

The media only fact check Republicans/conservatives.

Remember how the Associated Press, hired 11 fact checkers, to pore over Sarah Palin’s book? Everything said by any Republican/conservative will be dissected and parsed.

Because most of the “fact checkers” are busy sneaking their extended family members into America while Xiden is still in office.

Because...FJB issued an executive order mandating that anything repeated by any Democrats 3 times or more is automatically certified by the FBI to be true.

“Fact checking” is a form of disagreement with the speaker/writer, rising to the level of opposition. The prior crop of fact-checkers don't feel the need to point out the shortcomings in the current Administration, because they were so infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome that the election of Biden was on the level of “it's a miracle, it no longer hurts!”

No fact checking needed. If biden’s speaking then he’s lying. Same for anyone in his regime.

Because you can fact check truth into lies only so long before it becomes obviously absurd.

Nobody want to say it.

“There is no fact checking under Biden because the government told the media not to do it.”

The FBI has visited the media and told them how they want it all to play. There is no longer a free press.

I rec’d & thought I would share. I have no knowledge if this ‘deep state’ info is false or true.

“HERE’S THE WHOLE LIST OF THE ANIMALS, CREATURES, AND BLOODSUCKERS WHO LIVE IN THE SWAMP!!!! YOU’VE SEEN SOME OF THE NAMES BEFORE. BUT MANY ON THE LIST YOU HAVEN’T KNOWN ABOUT BEFORE — AND IT’LL SURPRISE YOU, OR MAYBE IT WON’T.“Things you must know to be informed:

*THE GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN USED TO WORK FOR GEORGE SOROS.*

*CALIF GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM IS NANCY PELOSI’S NEPHEW

*JOHN KERRY’S DAUGHTER IS MARRIED TO A MULLAH’S SON IN IRAN.

*HILLARY’S DAUGHTER CHELSEA IS MARRIED TO GEORGE SOROS’ NEPHEW.

*ABC NEWS EXECUTIVE PRODUCER IAN CAMERON IS MARRIED TO SUSAN RICE, OBAMA’S FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER.

*CBS PRESIDENT DAVID RHODES IS THE BROTHER OF BEN RHODES, OBAMA’S DEPUTY NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER FOR STRATEGIC COMMUNICATIONS.

*ABC NEWS CORRESPONDENT CLAIRE SHIPMAN IS MARRIED TO JAY CARNEY, FORMER OBAMA WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY.

*ABC NEWS AND UNIVISION REPORTER MATTHEW JAFFE IS MARRIED TO KATIE HOGAN, OBAMA’S FORMER DEPUTY PRESS SECRETARY

*ABC PRESIDENT BEN SHERWOOD IS THE BROTHER OF ELIZABETH SHERWOOD, OBAMA’S FORMER SPECIAL ADVISER.

*CNN VP VIRGINIA MOSELEY IS MARRIED TO TOM NIDES, FORMER HILLARY CLINTON’S DEPUTY SECRETARY.

THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A “STACKED DECK”. IF YOU HAD A HUNCH THE NEWS MEDIA WAS SOMEWHAT RIGGED AND YOU COULDN’T PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT, THIS MIGHT HELP YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.

Now you know why no one is investigated. They all have their hands in the cookie jar!

You might remember James Comey who investigated the Clinton email scandal and the Clinton Foundation, and made the final decision to not recommend prosecution by the DOJ.

It turns out that the Clinton Foundation was audited by the law firm DLA Piper. One of the executives there was in charge of the Clinton Foundation audit.

Who was it? Peter Comey, James Comey’s brother. Peter Comey held an executive position with the Washington law firm that did the audit of the Clinton foundation in 2015. Peter Comey was officially DLA Piper “Senior Director of Real Estate Operations for the Americas,” in 2015 when the Clinton Foundation scandals first broke and Hillary was preparing her Presidential campaign.

Not only was DLA Piper, the firm where Comey’s brother worked involved in the audit of the Clinton Foundation, but according to the foundation’s donor records, DLA Piper has given between $50 - 100k to the Foundation. It gets even cozier. DLA Piper executive Douglas Emhoff is taking an extended leave of absence from the firm.

Who is Douglas Emhoff? He is the husband of KAMALA HARRIS! Just a coincidence? Amazing, right! You can’t make this stuff up! Another example of the DC swamp.”

And it only gets worse. This “Family Tree” will make your head spin. THE SWAMP IS DEEP!!

Dominion (voting machine provider) serves 40% of the US market. It is in 30 states - - The state of Texas rejected the machines.
- Admiral Peter Neffenger is on Biden’s transition team.

- Neffenger was the President of the board of Smartmatic

- Smartmatic (another voting machine supplier) entered into an agreement with Dominion in 2009

- Smartmatic counted the votes in Venezuela!

- Smartmatic is connected to the Philippine voter fraud

- Smartmatic is run by Lord Mark Malloch Brown who works for George Soros (he and Brown are life-long friends)

- Mark M. Brown chairs the Boards of a number of non-profit boards including the Open Society Foundation,

- Brown chairs the Centre for Global Development.

- Open society of course is owned by George Soros

- Smartmatic partnered with DLA Piper Global

- Douglas C. Emhoff works at DLA Piper Global

- Douglass C. Emhoff is Kamala Harris’s husband

- Guess who owns Dominion? -Blum Capital Partners, L.P.

- Guess who is on the board for the company? — Richard C. Blum.

- Richard C. Blum is Dianne Feinstein’s husband.

- Nancy Pelosi’s husband is also a major investor

- An aide to Nancy Pelosi, Nadeam Elshami, was hired by Dominion Voting Systems
And it goes on & ON!!

- Dominion Voting Systems is listed on the Clinton Foundation website.

- Dominion Voting is listed as a $25,000 -$50,000 donor to the Clinton Foundation in 2014 by The Washington Post

- Georgia Governor Kemp used Dominion Voting after Texas and Florida rejected them

- Dominion has a lobbyist named Jared Thomas

- Jared Thomas was Governor Brian Kemp’s chief of staff and press secretary from 2012 to 2015.

You must remember the Feinstein-Kavanaugh-Soros connections to understand this next information
- Debra Katz (Christine Ford’s lawyer) worked for George-Soros at the Open Society Foundation.

- Debra Katz (Christine Ford’s lawyer) also worked at Project on Government Oversight (POGO).

- POGO is funded by Soros’s Open Society Foundation.

- POGO is the co-signer of the letter Diane Feinstein presented against Kavanaugh’s nomination.

- Kamala Harris did not prosecute OneWest Bank for their fraud when she had the authority - Soros owned OneWest Bank.

- Now you know why a woman who placed 7th in her State when running for President is now VP

IS YOUR HEAD SPINNING!”

Claim: “I’ve been in the Senate for 720 years.”
Fact checker: “After careful analysis we conclude that this is a pathetic falsehood told due to a mix of habitual lying and dementia.”

There’s only so many times a Fact Checker wants to write the same answer.
