Now that videos of Joe Biden freezing up and seeming genuinely too old to hold office are going viral, Democrats and their many media allies are leaping to his defense and calling these videos ‘cheap fakes.’
There is nothing fake about these videos, and this claim is especially offensive when you consider all of the completely false narratives these same people have pushed in recent years.
Joseph A. Wulfsohn writes at FOX News:
From Covington Catholic to border whips, liberal media has recent history of peddling ‘cheap fakes’“Cheap fakes” are suddenly all the rage.Since the term was pushed by the White House earlier this month, the liberal media has used the phrase to describe unflattering viral videos of President Biden which his critics say show signs of his mental decline.Various experts cited by the media have defined “cheap fakes” as the manipulation of video or audio content that misrepresent the facts, such as one where Biden was led off-stage by former President Obama earlier this month.The sudden concern with allegedly out-of-context video clips comes after liberal media outlets pushed several “cheap fakes” of their own over the years.Trump’s ‘bloodbath’ commentAt an Ohio rally in March, Trump warned about China winning the war on car manufacturing, telling voters “Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole – that’s gonna be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories.”…The smearing of Covington teen Nicholas Sandmann One of the most infamous “cheap fakes” in recent memory concerned a group of students from Kentucky’s Covington Catholic High School who visited Washington D.C. for the annual March for Life in 2019 and were portrayed as virulent racists.
Wulfsohn goes on to cite the time that Democrats and the media distorted Trump’s comments about MS-13 gang members and the ridiculous claims that Border Patrol agents were ‘whipping’ migrants from Haiti.
There are so many more examples.
Last week on The Five, Greg Gutfeld used this same line of argument and mentioned other instances. Watch:
The same people who pushed every anti-Trump hoax that crossed their desks now suddenly want context and careful analysis for Biden’s sake.
Sorry, it doesn’t work that way.
