The Left’s Fact Checkers Took the Night Off When Democrats Took the Stage

Where were the “fact-checkers” when Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and other top Democrats lied at the DNC?

The Left wants you to believe its “fact-checkers” have an unwavering commitment to the truth. So where were they when Democrats gathered to lie, spin, and dissemble on Monday night’s Democratic National Convention?

While speakers such as socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, passed-over Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, and failed has-been Hillary Clinton spouted nonsense, the fact-checkers were too busy to point out their fibs. Instead, they piled on criticizing ousted President Joe Biden, who was ignominiously given the midnight spot to bluster and blab. In other words, far from a commitment to truth and accuracy, these media partisans are committed only to advancing the Democrat Party’s victories—and that means shuffling off that old embarrassment, Biden, to help Kamala Harris take his place.

We went down the list, and CNN, PBS, PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, the New York Times, and CBS News all focused strictly on Biden as if he were the only one in attendance Monday night. Yet the real whoppers mostly came from these other Democrat luminaries, and deserve to be hammered by a genuine watchdog media.

The Left is actively working to reshape the narrative presented to Americans, and fact-checkers are aiding in this effort—even if they don’t want to. In April, the watchdog group Functional Government Initiative obtained emails revealing that the Biden-Harris Consumer Product Safety Commission pressured the fact-checking site Snopes to revise its rating on the claim that the administration intended to ban gas stoves.

It’s not an “independent” fact check if the ruling regime is influencing the result—it’s propaganda. Whether the pressure campaign was successful is irrelevant. Snopes has not released a single fact check about the speakers at the DNC.

Instead, they are focusing on superfluous fact-checking endeavors that avoid addressing the real conversations Democrats are having. The group has released fact checks on whether the Chicago River was dyed red for abortions, if free vasectomies and abortions are provided at the convention, and if the KKK attended the 1924 DNC.

Meanwhile, Rep. Ocasio-Cortez is singing the praises of Harris for being from the “working class” and prioritizing civil rights and justice reform in her campaign.

Have we forgotten about Harris ruining the lives of California residents for smoking weed while also smoking weed herself? At the time, she also tried to falsely convict a man—such an egregious action that the governor had to step in.

Kamala is not from the “working class.” Her parents are both intellectuals who taught at prestigious institutions, and she has never held a job in the private sector since college—but boy does she love to talk about her hard days working at McDonalds when she was a teenager, some 45 years ago.

The Left will continue to twist the narrative on who Harris and Walz truly are if fact-checkers refuse to scrutinize the “endorsements” and “nice things” other radical Democrats are saying.

But instead, they are focusing on Biden because he is no longer relevant, and it looks good to appear unbiased by bashing one of their own. The Left is truly eating itself as it tries to dupe Americans into voting away their rights.
