WaPo and its ‘fact-checker’ embarrass themselves yet again with latest ‘update’ of their Biden-corruption report
nypost.com ^ | August 10, 2023

Is there anyone more in the tank for Team Biden than The Washington Post and its “fact checker” Glenn Kessler?

In the latest blow to his own credibility (and his employer’s), Kessler has again sneakily “updated” an October 2020 fact check of a New York Post article that cast doubt on our 100% accurate reporting that Joe Biden, as vice president, was involved in son Hunter’s influence-peddling operation via a 2015 dinner with Hunter and Burisma big Vadim Pozharskyi. 

Kessler readily accepted the Team Biden line back then and simply parroted it: “Officials who worked for Biden at the time told The Fact Checker that no such meeting took place.”

He suggested all Biden had done was shake hands and chat with Pozharskyi at a public event. 

Yet soon more evidence supporting our story emerged, and Kessler was forced to walk that back.

He published the first updated version of his “fact check” specifically about the dinner in question, admitting Biden had been there but suggesting Pozharskyi hadn’t and backing Bidenworld’s claim that Joe had only “dropped by briefly.”

Now Hunter’s former biz partner Devon Archer has blown that story up, too. 

“Not correct reporting,” Archer said in his blockbuster recent testimony to Congress.

Turns out Biden was there for the long haul and Pozharskyi was present, too. 

Archer should know: He was there, and he testified at risk of perjury.

Kessler’s “fact check,” by contrast, was based on a denial by the president’s people, who weren’t present and had every reason to lie.

If someone from Trumpworld says something isn’t true, would Kessler take that as gospel and claim some news story stating otherwise was false?

They cannot be “embarrassed” or “shamed”. Maintaining the Biden protection fortress is all that matters.

Way back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, we actually thought journalists lived on the three digit side of the Bell Curve.

During a crucial 2020 presidential debate w/ Trump, Joe Biden strenuously denied accusations that his son or family had received money from Chinese sources or that his son’s business in Ukraine was improper.

BIDEN “Nothing was unethical. Here’s what the deal. With regard to Ukraine. We had this whole question about whether or not, because he was on the board, I later learned of Burisma, a company that somehow, I had done something wrong, yet every single solitary person, when he was going through his impeachment, testifying under oath, who work for him, said I did my job impeccably,” Joe Biden lied during the October 2020 presidential debate.

“I carried out U.S. policy, not one single solitary thing was out of line, not a single thing, number one.”

He continued lying, “My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, China. I have not had… the only guy who made money from China is this guy [Trump].”


Since the release of Hunter’s sweetheart plea deal,
the Washington Post has given these earlier claims four Pinocchios, saying
“now, nearly three years later, Biden’s assertions have been directly rebutted
by Hunter himself through his own plea deal court testimony.”

How corrupr is Biden?

Tucker Carlson’s interview with Capitol Police chief Sund (that was blocked by Fox)
has revealed extensive provocations and penetrations by Federal officers WRT J6.

Sund said there was ample evidence that:

<><>Pelosi invented “J6 as an insurrection” for political purposes
<><>Note that Trump has not been charged w/ insurrection.
<><>Pelosi and accomplices withheld L/E that could have prevented J6
<><> Pelosi’s hidden agenda was to turn J6 into a precedent
<><> Pelosi wanted a means of criminalizing any future political opposition

Lying about his and Hunter’s Burisma millions, Biden continued lying while debating Trump his 2020 opponent Trump.

From the debate transcript” “My son has not made money in terms of this thing.... what are you talking about, China. I have not had… the only guy who made money from China is this guy [Trump].”


The Bidens have pocketed even more graft from China.

The University of Pennsylvania was inundated with Chinese money once The Biden Center was established on campus.

The wily U of Penn laundered the Chinese graft by paying the compromised Biden $999,000 a year...... calculatedly pegged at under a million so it does not have to be reported.

The U of Penn had so much Chinese money it was forced to give some of it away in an attempt to save Biden’s filthy ***.......the uneasy Penn up and gave local Pa schools $100 million to the surprise of the local educators.

Joe showed his gratitude by giving a Penn official one of his coveted ambassador jobs.

There is no journalism anymore, they just check social media and cut and paste.
