New York Times Tries to Fact Check RFK Jr., Ends Up Proving His Point Instead

Ahhh, “fact checkers.” We’ve all grown to love these wonderful “experts,” especially when it’s clear their heads are so far up the establishment’s butt they can’t even distinguish the difference between blueberries and blue dye 1.

RFK Jr. has stirred the pot again, this time in the form of criticizing Froot Loops. Kennedy correctly pointed out that American Froot Loops and Canadian Froot Loops have some ingredient discrepancies—mainly that there appears to be a heck of a lot more garbage in the American version.

Well, the New York Times didn’t like this, and they decided to “fact check” Kennedy. Except they proved his point…don’t you love when that happens?

The Daily Wire reports:

The NYT article says RFK Jr.’s appointment will likely affect the relationship between Republicans and corporate America, specifically large food manufacturing companies.

The article quoted Kennedy as asking during an interview with MSNBC, “Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients and you go to Canada and it has two or three?”

The writer continued, noting that Kennedy “was wrong on the ingredient count” and that the cereal in the U.S. and Canada is “roughly the same.”

“But the Canadian version does have natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used ‘for freshness,’ according to the ingredient label,” the NYT writer notes.

Yeah, they’re exactly the same if you consider carrots and red dye 40 remotely the same. Idiots.

January cannot get here fast enough. I just hope Kennedy lives up to his promises and that we see real improvement on our grocery shelves in the coming years.
