Conspiracy Theories

PBS celebrated the return of the ancient “October Surprise” election conspiracy theory -- the unsubstantiated rumor that Ronald Reagan’s 1980 presidential campaign, led by William Casey, delayed the release of the 52 American hostages in Iran in order to win election over Democrat Jimmy Carter. The original version was advanced by former Carter aide Gary Sick before being discredited…

Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis hasn’t even declared his bid for president in the 2024 election cycle and he has the liberal ladies of ABC’s The View shaking in their shoes. This was evident during Thursday’s show as they concocted all sorts of bizarre and brazenly false accusations to level against the popular governor. There were new claims of him banning mental health care…

Over the weekend, former President Trump went on his social media site to claim that he would be arrested on Tuesday, March 21, but the day came and went with no sign or movement against him. This annoyed the cast of ABC’s The View on Wednesday, as they whined about being duped and getting their hopes up to see him in cuffs and his mug shot.

In the latter half of Tuesday’s edition of The View, gay actor Billy Porter screamed like a banshee as he denounced Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis for cracking down on child exploitation at drag shows. The unhinged Porter screamed that DeSantis had launched a “civil war of the mind” and conspiratorially shouted about how investigators needed to “follow the money.” His manic…

Following an explosive exchange between Today News Africa’s Simon Ateba and White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Monday, the cast of ABC’s The View had their knives out Tuesday for the reporter as they took turns taking swipes in defense of a friend of the show. But in a series of tweets in near real-time, Ateba shot back and called them out for allegedly spreading big…

With President Biden announcing new executive orders on guns Tuesday, CNN Newsroom invited Jennifer Mascia, senior writer for The Trace (an anti-gun rights publication), to share her dubious study. According to Mascia, a CNN contributor, gun manufacturers were directly in control of gun deaths in America as she suggested “when gunmakers ramped up production, gun deaths rose.” Of…

With Walgreens announcing that they will stop selling certain brands of abortion pills in states that prohibit them, California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom launched a campaign against them with what the pharmacy chain called “false and misleading information.” Of course, the liberals of ABC’s The View adhered to Newsom’s marching orders and opened Thursday’s show by parroting his…

NewsBusters has repeatedly had to fact-check ABC’s The View for the stream of misinformation they’re constantly pumping out of their cesspool. But according to raging co-host Whoopi Goldberg, the First Amendment doesn’t protect those who “willing lie.” That was the basis of her suggestion that the people who work at Fox News needed to be prosecuted by the Department of Justice for “…

Left-wing terrorism is getting a polished shine by the liberal broadcast networks. During their Tuesday updates on the Antifa terrorist attack at the construction site of a police and firefighter training center in Atlanta, Georgia, ABC’s Good Morning America and CBS Mornings took different approaches to spinning the incident. ABC simply called it “foolishness,” while CBS…

Remember kids, you never stop learning! Monday was a big day for The View’s faux Republican, Ana Navarro who learned that morning that black people do indeed live in Iowa. The ABC co-host came into that newfound knowledge during a commercial break and had the nerve to lecture prospective Republican presidential nominees to not be that ignorant. She also cooked up disinformation about…

How against Republicans is ABC’s Whoopi Goldberg? Well, during Thursday’s edition of The View she defended radical leftists tearing down and defacing statues of President Abraham Lincoln, the Republican president who released the slaves from their Democratic masters. She also declared, without evidence, that Mississippi was “reinstating Jim Crow” and bringing back lynching.

With the Department of Energy and the FBI now admitting that evidence points to the virology lab in Wuhan, China as the origin for COVID-19, the cast of ABC’s The View was finally ready to start accepting that idea as the best obtainable version of the truth. But to combat the fact many conservatives and Republicans had been focused on the lab for years, the cast found fault Wednesday…

Joe Scarborough has denounced as a "conspiracy theory" the notion that Covid originated in a Chinese-communist government-controlled lab in Wuhan. But the day after FBI Director announced that it was "most likely" that the virus did indeed originate in that Wuhan lab, Scarborough was, without explanation other than a mention that he had the "day off," absent from Morning Joe.  Meanwhile, Don…

In something resembling then-Senator John Kerry’s infamous ‘I was for it before I was against’ bungle, NewsNation primetime host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo opened Monday’s edition of his eponymous show by touting how he had reported on the lab leak origin theory of COVID in 2020, before The Wall Street Journal reported the Energy Department’s findings in 2023. But he omitted how he bashed…
