Body Checking the Fact-Checkers – POLITIFACT

It would almost be excusable if not so pathetically predicted.

Yesterday we covered how none of the fact-check sources dared come forward and correct Joe Biden on his claim that he took a train across the recently felled Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. Today Ciara O’Rourke at PolitiFact addressed the President’s comment. Note we do not say she corrects the President. Instead, we are treated to “context”, as we have it explained what the president meant to say, and no grade is assessed for the comment:

Before it collapsed, the four-lane bridge spanned 1.6 miles — and, no, the bridge does not have train tracks. However, these social media posts did not present Biden’s full statement allowing for some ambiguity; he mentioned commuting by car.

This was a rather innocuous comment by Biden, and simply correcting the matter would not be that controversial, or difficult. The inability to do so shows the lengths fact-checkers will go to keep anything negative from being applied to Biden.

President Joe Biden recently said he commuted by both train and car as a senator, including over the Baltimore Key Bridge. Social media posts about his statement omitted context. https://t.co/qpQ8SEsVAS

News Avoidance Syndrome – VARIOUS OUTLETS

It almost appears like every outlet was incorrect on the matter.

Certainly, most are familiar with the lawsuit brought by Disney against the state of Florida regarding the takeover of the Reedy Creek District........
