Biden's Border Blunder and Other Whoppers: A Weekly Roundup

Fri Jan 10 2025
This week started with a whopper from President Biden himself. He claimed that Republicans in Congress wanted to play politics with the border, and that his administration fought to fix it. But let's be real, the White House only started caring about the border when it became a political hot potato. They even tried to pass off a bill that would have made things worse as some sort of magical solution. Sorry, Biden, but this one's on you. Next up, we have a debunking debacle from FOX11 Los Angeles. Their anchor, Melvin Robert, claimed that firefighters weren't running out of water during the wildfires. But seconds later, the station's own reporter on the ground said the exact opposite. Mayor candidate Rick Caruso had been promising to prevent such shortages, which were caused by Democratic mismanagement. Kudos to the field reporter for telling the truth, and shame on Robert for trying to spin the story. Meta, the company behind Facebook, tried to blame fact-checkers for their problems. But The New York Times wasn't having it. They reported that the fact-checkers checked themselves and found that they weren't the problem. In fact, they're just doing their job. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was right when he said these fact-checkers have actually destroyed more trust than they've created. Lastly, MSNBC's Symone Sanders-Townsend tried to insist that President Biden is still all there. But let's face it, even progressive journalists are admitting they were wrong about Biden's mental state. Watching Democrats and lefty pundits still pretend he's fine is just embarrassing.

questions

    Wouldn’t it have been more efficient for Rick Caruso to just supply firefighters with water bottles himself?
    Did Melvin Robert check his facts by asking the firefighters directly or did he rely on telepathy?
    Is Mark Zuckerberg secretly working with the fact-checkers to undermine public trust?
