Timing is everything. The timing of certain decisions can tell you a lot about how things are going. And how curious that after 2.5 years of Biden’s presidency, Daniel Dale of CNN has suddenly decided to start doing his job, which is as a “fact checker” for the Leftist propaganda machine. He usually just splits hairs and manipulates information to create fact checks that could be used as the basis for censorship of conservative-leaning opinions and stories. Anytime something reflects poorly on the Leftist narrative, he tried to find a way to label it misleading or false so that Twitter and Facebook could justify suppressing it as false or misleading information.
But suddenly, just days before an election that could change the landscape of American politics and just days after Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter that could change the landscape of public discourse and the dissemination of information, Daniel Dale decides to start doing his actual job.
He just wrote a massive fact check titled, “Biden’s midterms message includes false and misleading claims.” In his Twitter tease, he called it a “fact check roundup.” It covers lies and misleading claims on social security, corporate taxes, the country’s debt and deficit, unemployment numbers, student debt “cancellation,” gas prices, Biden’s communications with China’s Xi, and Trump’s tax cuts. It’s actually an impressive and thorough fact check because he addresses very specific issues with Biden’s claims that make them either patently untrue or glaringly misleading, specifically the precise (or sometimes imprecise) language that Biden uses. Precision of language really is important, like the difference between “with COVID” and “from COVID,” but Biden and the reigning Leftist regime usually get a pass from the media. Which is what makes this fact check extremely unique.
Biden’s closing midterms pitch has included false and misleading claims — about gas prices, Social Security, the debt and deficit, his student loans plan, his tax policies and Trump’s, and other subjects. Here’s a fact check roundup: https://t.co/oP9Yqgj5Eq

He even teased it a second time with greater details about which lies were being fact checked.
Gas prices weren’t over $5 when Biden took office. The Social Security hike isn’t a Biden achievement. The Trump tax cut didn’t “only” go to the top 1%. Biden didn’t cut the debt in half. Biden didn’t get Congress to pass a law to forgive student debt. https://t.co/oP9Yqgj5Eq

Conservative media and commentators have been fact checking Biden every step of the way, including every single one of the facts that Dale checks in this article. I have even written about several of them. But it sure is curious that CNN suddenly decided to fact check some of the most egregious lies and misleading claims, isn’t it?

I guess whoever is actually in charge has finally decided that it is time to let Kamala screw things up… er, I mean run things… er, I mean be the figurehead for the rest of the term. Maybe Hillary finally got too impatient with waiting to be nominated as Harris’ VP? Of course, once Hillary is only one heartbeat away from the big chair, you know that heart isn’t going to keep beating for much longer…
>And how curious that after 2.5 years of Biden’s presidency
I know it seems like it has been longer than the actual 1 year and 9.5-ish months.
>Biden didn’t cut the debt in half.
I don’t think he claims that. I always hear Biden say the “deficit”, the money overspent every year, and he is partially right. It has been cut from the covid insanity high but still higher than 2019. And, of course, he didn’t do it- Congress controls spending. Side note- still no budget since 2009.

No, Biden legitimately claimed to have cut the debt in half.
