Testimony, even from the opposing side, in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse proved the falsity of hundreds of media reports.
Rittenhouse, who went to Wisconsin in August 2020 to protect storefronts and businesses being looted and burned by rioters, shot and killed two attackers during violent protests, and shot a third man.
Media reports widely declared Rittenhouse, then 17-years old, to be a murderous white supremacist (although all three of the men shot were white and, according to evidence, had been attacking or pointing a loaded gun at Rittenhouse at the time).

The Washington Post belatedly "corrected two articles [one from 2017 and one from 2019] and altered a dozen others" regarding its false reporting about the anti-Trump opposition research compiled by Democratic operative and ex-British spy Christopher Steele to use against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Tommy Christopher of Mediaite falsely declared that "No, Joe Biden Did Not Refer to Satchel Paige as a ‘Negro’ During Veterans Day Speech."
In fact, Biden had done just that.

An article in Medscape states that myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation reported in some people-- particularly in young people and children-- after Covid-19 vaccination is "rare and temporary.
However, scientists say the disorder can have permanent impacts and even be fatal.
It's unclear why Medscape misstates the potential outcome.

It’s rare to hear a Congressman proclaim his stupidity.
Scumbag Schiff is now saying *how were we to know they were lies?”
Yet he stupidly read portions into the Congressional record.....and moronically plugged the lies, making some 300 tv sppearances.
What a mystery this is.
God bless Sharyl. Her website has a lot of good articles on Covid as well.
Those aren’t mistakes Sharyl!
I agree, they are not “mistakes”. They, the media are just covering up for Biden. No mistake at all. Now with President Trump that had to make things up.
Agree. Media lies but not by mistake. The propaganda media (and the Dems) win when their consumers hear the lies enough so that they don’t even believe the later correction. …if they ever even see the corrections.
Not so much mistakes as regurgitation of DNC talking points.
Scumbag Schiff is now saying *how were we to know they were lies?”
Investigative journalism??? Is there such a thing among the MSM today?
Adam you have spent 5 minutes on a search engine and realized these ‘truths’ were fake news.

Trump calls them the “Fake News”. I call them Lying SOB’s.
Moron......doesn’t even know a lie when he sees one.
Self serving jerk flim-flammed the gullible media over and over.g
It’s like how convicts say they made mistakes.
Bad behavior isn’t a mistake, it’s a poor choice.

What the MSM is doing and has been doing is not BY MISTAKE - IT IS THE PLAN TO LIE FOR THE DEMS and THE DEEP STATE MACHINE!
The left consistently overestimates its ability to squelch truth. They look foolish to the common observer, but persist in their delusion because that is who they are: Satan’s minions hellbent on propagating lies.
