Here’s How The Media Are Lying Right Now: Featuring Beyonce

As the unofficial managers of the Kamala Harris for President campaign, the national news media are of course lying every second of every day but here are just three worth covering at the moment.

1. TMZ, Aug. 22: “BEYONCE PERFORMING AT DNC’S FINAL NIGHT!!!”

Either TMZ coordinated with the Democrat National Convention to mislead the public about Beyonce performing, or the site was played by the DNC, thus undermining TMZ’s credibility as a news source. If it’s the latter, TMZ should out the source who lied to it so that everyone, including all reporters, knows he or she is untrustworthy.

The version of events most generous to TMZ is that someone on Kamala’s campaign lied to the site that Beyonce would perform for the purpose of artificially juicing viewership for the vice president’s speech that night. That would work nicely for keeping up the charade that Kamala, long recognized as a cringe inducing screw-up, is suddenly a star only surpassed in popularity by Jesus Christ.

2. PBS’s Judy Woodruff makes up “reporting” that Donald Trump has privately encouraged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to accept a peace deal with the Muslim terrorists of Hamas.

Woodruff spread the falsehood during PBS’s coverage of the Democrat convention this week, dishonestly asserting that the purpose of tanking any potential peace negotiation would be to deny the Kamala-Biden White House a foreign policy win. She later said on social media that she based her remarks on “reports I had read,” specifically citing Axios and Reuters, though neither outlet, as terrible as they are in their own right, had reported any such thing.

3. Mass clean-up for yet another Tim Walz lie regarding how he conceived at least one of his children.

Democrats all week long have been arguing with a nonexistent Republican candidate for president who opposes in vitro fertilization. As part of the effort, Kamala’s running-mate, Tim Walz, has continued to lie about he and his wife using the procedure. They in fact did not, but rather than call it a lie or in any way “fact check” the lie, the media have excused it as a minor misstatement, just as they have done for Walz’s multiple lies about his military service.

The New York Times said Walz has “clarified” the lie. Axios said Walz “disclosed new details” that “sheds light” on the couple’s “fertility journey.” A headline on CNN.com said Walz’s wife now “clarifies” that IVF was not used for her pregnancies.

That’s how the media “fact check” a Democrat. When one is caught in a lie, they’re allowed to “clarify” and “disclose new details.”
