Biden’s Lies Must Be Exposed by the Media.

Words matter, and so does⁤ the truth

What’s happening: Members‌ of the liberal mainstream media⁢ are finally starting to notice that President Joe Biden is a chronic liar. Alas, they are too cowardly—or too afraid of the truth—to use the L-word. Instead, they describe Biden’s lies using an array of watered-down euphemisms.

• Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler ​on Thursday wrote about Biden’s ⁤habit of telling “certain stories” about his life that “aren’t credible.” (Lies.) The president, Kessler wrote, has a “propensity to exaggerate or embellish.” (He lies.)
• CNN fact-checker ⁢Daniel Dale rarely pays⁤ attention to Biden’s lies, but he did​ write something earlier this month ⁢highlighting⁣ a few of the president’s “false personal anecdotes.” (Lies.)
• The New York‌ Times wrote last year about how⁤ Biden “spins yarns ​that ‍often unravel.” (He lies.)‍ Biden has “embraced storytelling as a ⁤way of connecting with his audience,” the Times explained, but those stories occasionally include details with “the factual edges shaved off to make them more powerful.” (Lies.)

Why it matters: If journalists cared about being accurate, they wouldn’t be afraid to use the word⁣ “lie” to describe Biden’s lies.

• The liberal mainstream⁤ media were obnoxiously proud of themselves when they started using the word “lie” in headlines about former president Donald Trump.
• Biden’s lies are demoralizing vulnerable Americans in crisis. This month alone, the president compared the plight of Maui wildfire victims,⁢ as well as the⁣ victims of Hurricane Idalia⁣ in Florida, to⁣ the time⁢ his house ‍suffered minor damage from what firefighters described​ as an “insignificant” blaze in 2004.
• One of⁢ Biden’s most egregious lies—that his son Hunter Biden “has not made money” from‌ business deals‍ in China—made a mockery of the American justice system earlier this month ⁣when Hunter admitted in court to⁣ making millions of dollars from Chinese interests. The federal investigation into‍ Hunter’s crimes is ongoing. ⁤Can ​his father be trusted to tell the truth?

Bottom line: Words matter, and so does the truth.
