Biased much? Media ‘fact checkers’ find no Biden lies

On a day when President Joe Biden’s mental faculties are being questioned again, a new report suggests the media is covering for the 79-year-old president in a way it never did for former President Donald Trump.

In studying media fact-checking under Biden and Trump, the conservative Media Research Center said that the truth police have found “zero” examples of Biden lying or being 100% wrong despite his frequent verbal flubs and fabricated life stories.

What’s more, said MRC NewsBusters Editor Tim Graham, the liberal media’s fact-checkers have targeted the president’s critics by nearly 6-1 in their truth probes.

In his review of the Poynter Institute’s PolitiFact, he wrote, “Over his first 20 months in office, Biden had 58 fact-checks, while Biden critics were checked 338 times. Overall, there were 5.8 fact checks of Biden critics for every one of the president.”

Surprisingly, he wrote, Biden was hit with no “Pants on Fire” ratings, despite his often-made odd and wrong comments and mental confusion. On Wednesday, for example, as he hosted an event, he called out for a lawmaker to be recognized. That lawmaker, the late Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-IN), died in a car wreck in early August, and the White House issued a statement of sympathy.

By contrast, Trump was dogged with the award.

“There were zero ‘Pants on Fire’ rulings about President Biden in his first 20 months. By contrast, Donald Trump has 10 in that time span. Biden has only six in his entire career since PolitiFact began in 2007. Biden could say the evacuation from Afghanistan was an ‘extraordinary success,’ and we have ‘zero percent’ inflation, and there were no factual objections. On April 22, he claimed he was a ‘full professor’ for four years at the University of Pennsylvania, which is simply false. They called it ‘Half True,’” wrote Graham.
