More Americans may think President Joe Biden tried to sit on a nonexistent chair the other day than know the boring truth that there was, in fact, a chair.

The chair-that-was-there was just one of many quick video clips the conservative media ecosystem willed into virality over the past two weeks, leaving fact-checkers and Biden’s team with little chance to catch up.

The Republican National Committee, major conservative media outlets and right-wing influencers have succeeded in blasting out videos that they claim show “proof” of Biden’s wandering off, freezing up or even filling his pants with a substance commonly represented by a brown swirl emoji.

Independent fact-checkers and the Biden campaign have pointed out that the videos, while they are un-doctored by artificial intelligence, tend to crumble under even basic scrutiny, such as when the moments are viewed in context or from wider camera angles.

“Fresh off being fact checked by at least 6 mainstream outlets for lying about President Biden with cheap fakes, Rupert Murdoch’s sad little super PAC, the New York Post, is back to disrespecting its readers and itself once again,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement

Sounds like something Joseph Goebbels would write. "If you repeat a lie often enough..." and all that.

But liberals are so stupid (or mentally ill, or both) they believe it.

Actually, they hate conservatives so much that they don't care if it's a lie.

They are admitting they aren’t modified or deep fakes.

So they are claiming that stuff is taken out of context, and they invented a new term; “cheap fake”

Guess what MSM “journalists”. Cheap faking is what you do every day.

Sorry some memers stepped into your domain.

Here are the latest 10 videos. Going forward I will organize them by date so you can find the appropriate clip to refute anyone making the "fake video" hoax claim. This is the "51 Intelligence Agents" of 2024.

The left should be careful.
In their desperation to counter the videos they will create a competition where more & more videos will be posted to “prove” that Biden is cognitively shot.
The truly Machiavellian disregard for the safety and prosperity of America, exhibited by the Left’s lawfare, media maneuvering, gaslighting and election fraud, placed an Alzheimer sufferer in the Presidency. This pervasive moral depravity is chilling and should result in the death of the Democrat Party.

Someone good at this should post AND IDENTIFY some fake videos and contrast those alongside legitimate videos.

Acknowledge there are fakes and highlight the real ones.

” Biden stared into the audience for a moment before the more punctual Obama signaled it was time to leave the stage.”
Fake News MSNBC doesn’t mention that OBAMA GRABBED HIM BY THE WRIST AND PULLED HIM AWAY.

Are the media saying that ALL the people there were looking right when they SHOULD HAVE BEEN LOOKING LEFT?

Does the MEDIA know how KOOKIE that sounds???

It appears the MEDIA has gone coo-coo and they want us to join them.

Fat chance.

Just because Pedo Joe was looking LEFT means HE is the only one who is sane.. I don’t think so

Sorry, guys, your premise is faulty.

“Joe Biden tried to sit on a nonexistent chair the other day than know the boring truth that there was, in fact, a chair.”

Whether he was trying to sit or trying to sh!t, what is being avoided by the Press and KJP is that the pResident was in need of sitting (or “sh!tt!ng”) after only a few shuffles and steps up 6 stairs.

The physical strain must have been ?tremendous?
