Misleading GOP videos of Biden are going viral. The fact-checks have trouble keeping up.

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

"Taking liberties with video editing — or simply misrepresenting what is happening in a video — is nothing new."

Duh! The Demonrats have been doing it for years!

"Fine people", "bloodbath", "drink bleach"...

FJB and all the Demonrats and their allies and enablers, including Rinos.

Biden mindlessly wandered away from a pre-scheduled G7
group photo-op after a skydiving exhibition for world leaders.

MSNBC sucked up big time, rushing to defend Biden, blaming “deceptive videos.”
MSBC claimed “compassionate” Biden was “concerned” the paratrooper had been injured.

This is the actual scene....the obviously healthy paratrooper vigorously
repacking his parachute, completely oblivious to a babbling Biden.

A closeup view. The final shot of “smirking Obama” caressing the “out of it” Biden,
as he led him off the stage. Mindless Hollywood applauded the debacle with approval.

“Hey buddy, we almost pulled it off, now try to 'look alive' before we hustle you out of
view of those dam cameras. Just follow the red arrows, and for God’s sake, dont trip.”

The point wasn’t whether there was a chair there or not, the point was his awkward bending over and getting “stuck” when Jill seemed to hiss something at him.
Either he was sitting down too early (exhausted by the “long” walk) or he was confused about what was going on.
And then, when he turned around and was fixating on the gentlemen behind him, everyone else turned and did the same thing, as if to cover his random ADHD-ness.

Dishonesty by the always dishonest media? Say it isn’t so! These integrity-free nitwits are dishonest so frequently that they think they are honest. What worthless fools.

Is there anything left for us, but to laugh or cry over the madness?

Yesterday, the White House press poodles posed not one question to WH secretary KJP about Putin upstaging Biden with his terrifying visit to North Korea, for a sit-down with Little Rocket Man, while Biden was meeting with the United Nations chief to plot more war and new wars.

As if a foreign occupation is in DC,
executing domestic and foreign crisis and scare events at an alarming pace.

I also noticed the “willed into virality” statement. They do this every day, sometimes pumping up a clearly past his prime Biden, and other times using falsehoods against Trump.

They are despicable.

I might respect NBC if they treated the Left's attempts at embarrassing Trump with the same amount of cover.

I might, but I won't...

At least 10 times, he’s claimed that he talked to Dead people.

He can’t count. He doesn’t know the year. He doesn’t know what office he’s running for. Just ask the Special Counsel why he wasn’t charged

Does the President normally take 20 seconds to sit in a chair that is there?

Agree lies and ignorance are the only two things they live off of it’s why things are like they are now.

When the “Fact Checkers” believe women have penises, you KNOW they don’t care about facts! The good news is that anyone outside of the MSNBC orbit knows what they see every week...to include higher prices at stores.

I want to know if any of the propagandists are dumb enough to believe their own lies.

I expected epic levels of gaslighting for this election and haven’t been disappointed. It’s all they have left.
