Superhero Obama Fights 'Online Lies'?
Townhall.com ^ | April 22, 2022 | Tim Graham

The New York Times sounded a little giddy on the front page of its "Business" section April 21 with the headline "Obama Joins Fight to Curb Online Lies." This spin strongly suggests Barack Obama never lies. He's a valiant warrior against lies.

That came after a badly disguised press release at CNN.com on Obama "urgently throwing himself into the fight against disinformation." As usual, they make it sound like a superhero has landed whenever Obama arrives on the scene.

Never mind PolitiFact giving Obama the "Lie of the Year" in 2013 for when he said, "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it." Never mind Obama's baldfaced lies in 2012 that the Benghazi consulate attack wasn't a terrorist thing; it was a protest of an Islamophobic YouTube video that got out of hand. As if the Islamic radicals brought grenade launchers to a "protest."

This underlines why the liberal media should not be trusted in a "disinformation" fight. They have a frustrating tendency to put themselves on the side of "information" and conservatives on the side of "disinformation." Don't try to argue it's more complicated than that. They're not listening.

Times reporters Steven Lee Myers and Cecilia Kang offered a narrative that social media sites seemed like a force for good when they helped elect Obama, and then turned malignant as Trump ascended. Their story began with Obama "yukk(ing) it up" in 2011 with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

Obama belongs in prison or worse, hanging from a gallows.

Same with those that covered up his fake US citizenship and the people involved in the coup attempt and the stolen election

Obama sure has gotten mouthy all at once in his third term.

Someone should remind him that he isn’t President. Or is he?

Obama is as useful to this Republic as a used condom is useful for anything.

Superhero Obama, who gets his strength from eating dogs (re: his book).

His only Kryptonite is Michelle, who turns him into a mom-jeans wearing sissy.

I guess Obama’s best version of controlling information was the FAKE Birth Certificate he produced.

WHOEVER produced that document for him didn’t know that the hospital named on the “BIRTH CERTIFICATE” did NOT exist in August of 1971.

That name applied to a MERGER of 2 hospitals & that name came about 6-7 years AFTER Barry was born-—wherever he was born....

Maybe they don’t do mergers in Kenya & the fakers didn’t know that.

"If you like your health care plan, you can keep it."

Was not an "online" lie...hello McFly...it was an in your face, in front of God and everybody, lie.

If Obama wants to fight online lies then he should punch himself in the face.

So, mister “ If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor” is going to take care of everyone else’s lies?
