'Fact Checkers' Take the Week Off on 'Whips' Used by the Border Patrol

WashPost, CNN 'Fact Checkers' RAGE at GOP for Noting WH Cut Video Feed
Sister Toldjah at RedState reported that those “independent fact checkers” at CNN and The Washington Post rushed to Biden’s defense again on Tuesday.

Column: Rolling Stone Commits 'Horse Dewormer' Fraud
The liberal reporters on the “misinformation” beat and those “independent fact-checkers” are very aggressive about squashing information about COVID-19 that is either flat-out untrue or opposed to the (sometimes fluctuating) findings of government agencies. Sadly, these so-called guardians of truth aren’t as aggressive about narratives that mock anti-vaccine activists and COVID skeptics.

NewsBusters Podcast: 'Facts First' Media Trip on Fake Ivermectin News
Sometimes terribly fake news emerges from the left. Over the long holiday weekend, too many "mainstream" media voices fell for another hoax from Rolling Stone magazine, that somehow "horse dewormer overdoses" were "overwhelming Oklahoma hospitals." Even the photo in the Rolling Stone tweet was fake. How discerning are supposedly smart lefties like Rachel Maddow or Joy Reid…

Of Course: Reid Joined Liberal Mob in Peddling FAKE Ivermectin Story
Over the Labor Day weekend, the liberal media uncorked another piece of truly fake news thanks to a Rolling Stone story that claimed an Oklahoma hospital had been overrun with people having overdosed on the medication ivermectin. Among the frauds was none other than MSNBC’s The ReidOut host Joy Reid, who spent just over six minutes on Friday using the tall tale as a jumping…

CNN Slams Biden on 'False' Claim He Visited Synagogue After Killings
Jen Psaki's job of cleaning up after Joe Biden just got even tougher. She now has to try to explain away Biden's claim to have visited the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh after the 2018 anti-Semitic massacre there that killed 11 people. There's just one problem with the claim: the synagogue says Biden never visited. CNN called Biden out on it this morning. Reporter Daniel Dale, CNN's…

Column: Republicans Did Not Defund the Police
Here’s an easy test to see whether fact-checking websites can make any claim to be “independent” and nonpartisan in tone. Biden staffers claimed Republicans “defunded the police.” That’s a bald-faced lie.

Marking another day in the White House Briefing Room rotation, Fox News’s Peter Doocy had quite a Tuesday as he was able to both question Press Secretary Jen Psaki on the federal government’s border crisis and their voting disinformation campaign and President Joe Biden on China’s culpability in the coronavirus pandemic and Georgia’s voting law.

Beware Journalists Using 'Fact Checkers' to Slam New GOP Ads on HR1
The Democrat-favoring "fact checker" websites are hard at work spinning for H.R. 1, the shameless attempt to federalize elections under the banner of "voting rights." Alayna Treene of the Washington-insider website Axios reported the National Republican Senatorial Committee will launch a "seven-figure ad campaign...targeting Democrats' effort to expand voting."

Column: Are Fact Checkers Hammering Biden, Cuomo? NO
CNN host Brian Stelter tried to insist that the focus of "fact checking" is now on Biden. But he invited on the boss of PolitiFact, and she is not demonstrating that at all. They're busier fact-checking Biden's critics. And he shouldn't have asked about Andrew Cuomo.

CNN 'Fact Checker' Ruled on Biden Lies in Town Hall...But Never on TV!
CNN's Chris Cuomo previewed their network's Tuesday town hall with Biden by claiming "We're minutes away from history!" Well, at least they treated the event as historic enough for their "fact checker" Daniel Dale to review it for boo-boos. But guess what? Dale never appeared on CNN's television shows to share his findings of "four false claims" by the president.

NEW NewsBusters Podcast: AOC Is Always A-OK on the Facts
In the newest platter of chatter on the NewsBusters Podcast, executive editor Tim Graham explores the depths of the "Ocasio-Cortex" and how the socialist Congresswoman from New York has told an engrossing tale of how frightened she was during the Capitol riot on January 6. The networks energetically dramatized an "Instagram Live" account that she gave, and no one questioned any of her facts,…
