White House Fakery Defended By 'Fact-Checkers'
Townhall.com ^ | October 8, 2021 | Tim Graham

When is a fake setting not a fake setting? When resident Joe Biden sits in front of it.

The "independent fact-checkers", a phrase that in itself strains credulity, leaped to defend Biden after he received a COVID booster shot in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on Sept. 27. For political rookies, the EEOB is not the White House, but sits next to the White House.

Jokers on Facebook showed a photograph of Biden getting his booster vaccination in the South Court Auditorium in front of a set that resembled the Oval Office. One said, "Joe Biden using a fake White House backdrop is so on brand for him." Another Facebook post said, "They created a fake set for Biden to get his booster shot. The entire Biden presidency is one giant charade."

PolitiFact characterized the second post as "False" and announced these posts "were flagged as part of Facebook's efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed." This led Facebook to suppress the Biden mockery. The Facebook post from the page "Cloyd Rivers" quoted here as "False" was simply taken down. It can no longer be found.

What was "misinformation"? PolitiFact's Louis Jacobson set the Biden scene: "Behind him was a backdrop featuring white walls and columns, along with 'windows' seemingly looking out toward the White House itself."

Dear Jacobson: If you're putting the word "windows" in quotation marks, it can be mocked as a fake set.

Jacobson also tried these lame arguments: "There's no indication that anyone in the Biden administration tried to pass this off event as being held inside the White House itself." Claiming great intentions isn't "fact-checking." It appeared to be like the Oval Office, and it wasn't.

And: "The backdrop behind Biden as he was getting his booster shot wasn't 'created' for that event -- it had been used five days earlier for a global coronavirus summit." So if the fake setting is not new, it's not fake?

PolitiFact wasn't alone. The website Lead Stories, heavily used to suppress Facebook content, ran an article, too. It warned of the claim that was in an article called, "Joe Biden Took His Booster Shot On A 'Set' Of A Fake 'White House'." But it was a set, and the set was technically not in the White House.

Former CNN employee Dana Ford was the unpaid Biden helper on this Lead Stories item: "Did the White House set up a fake scene to deceive the public about President Joe Biden's COVID-19 booster shot? No, that's not true." She had the same lame points as PolitiFact. It was labeled for the press as the EEOB; the fake set had been used for an earlier COVID media event.

Ford added, "The article's claims sit comfortably within conspiracy theories around Biden being photo edited into presidential offices and backgrounds as he is not really the president."

Oh, he's really the president, and he's really surrounded by a cyber-Secret Service in the "fact-checker" community. You can't even make fun of Biden without getting suppressed.

The obvious question one may ask: Why not get the booster shot inside the actual Oval Office? Why create a set for "The President Biden Show"? On Fox News, Ari Fleischer suggested they wanted to give Biden a teleprompter inside the camera lens he's looking into so he doesn't go off script.

If Donald Trump had created a set, there's no way "fact-checkers" would check anyone making fun of him on Facebook. Anti-Trump mockery was the most accurate mockery, no matter how inaccurate it might be.

Not only was the scene fake, but the jab was fake too. No needle.

The staged Biden medical moment was appropriate:

The fake U.S. president receives fake vaccine jab in fake White House. Where’s the inconsistency?

How much longer will the American people put up with being j ed around?

if I worked Comms in the WH, I’d set up a studio setting where any number of videos could be shot, always at the ready at a moments notice.

No big deal here, imho.

I think you’re right.

Everything is a sham at this point. Designed to control us. Creating fear among those who don’t really think.

update: Monica Showalter at American Thinker has more on the fake set.

Besides permanent lighting, the theory is they’ve built in a hidden teleprompter into his desk because 1) he clearly can’t read from the regular camera-mounted prompter and 2) it makes him look like he’s speaking extemporaneously without use of a prompter.

The ruse is exposed.

Always masked? for 1-1/2 years?

I was convinced when watching his acceptance speech after his nomination that what was talking was not always Slo Joe.

NOT JOE.

Examples?

Joe Biden’s speech? (Acceptance Speech)
https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000007316521/biden-pittsburgh.html
Is this a body double? The speech and delivery is NOT Joe Biden.
Not even sure the photo is. Note the facial features below the nose. Much younger man?

We saw something similar during Hillary’s campaign. Remember?

Did Joe Biden really deliver that speech live? Probably not (acceptance speech)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/08/did_joe_biden_really_deliver_that_speech_live_probably_not.html

I dare you to compare these video’s from the past with more recent long winded ones that appear to be Slo Joe.

No, I’m not joking. I am serious.

Yes. And chin and skin smoothness of younger man.

Also they spoofed the idea here:

PROOF OF LI(F)E? ‘Joe Biden’ Emerges from Basement Wearing Mask, Raising Questions (satire)

https://freebeacon.com/satire/joe-biden-body-double-conspiracy/

They made fun of the idea to blow the thought away.
