Fake News

Washington -- Several years ago, while perusing material for my favorite department of “The American Spectator,” the Current Wisdom, I came across an obvious lie perpetrated by Terry McAuliffe, this season's Democratic candidate for governor of Virginia. It was a pretty bold lie, too, and he was quite proud of it as you will see. The Current Wisdom is a department of “The American Spectator”…

Folks, the liberal media have hit the panic button over the Virginia gubernatorial election. With the chance Republican Glenn Youngkin could pull off the upset, they’ve gone into overdrive to argue Youngkin’s an insurrectionist who cheered the January 6 riot and whose denunciations of said events were fake. Such were the claims Thursday night on MSNBC’s The ReidOut as host Joy Reid and two…

The Associated Press is being criticized on Twitter for getting a fact-check wrong on a hot topic.

Rolling Stone magazine moved from Ivermectin alarmism to climate alarmism with their hit piece on Joe Biden supposedly cooking the planet due to his opposition to the $3.6 trillion reconciliation bill.

Border Patrol was already stretched dangerously thin but on Wednesday, ABC’s World News Tonight celebrated their job getting harder as multiple mounted agents were ordered to “administrative duties” after the rabid left and liberal media smeared them with lies about using “whips” on Haitian migrants. As NewsBusters had documented all week, ABC anchor David Muir and correspondent…

After spending their Monday handoff disgustingly injecting race into the Gabby Petito murder case, CNN hosts Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo finally addressed the Border Patrol “whipping” fake news scandal together Tuesday night. Of course, Lemon ignorantly suggested the images were an example of “systemic racism” in the department. And for his part, Cuomo defended his smears from the previous night…

When there’s a piece of fake news to promote that furthers a leftist narrative, it’s all but guaranteed that MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid will be there to spew any and all lies to confirm her priors. Such was the case on Monday and Tuesday with the outrageously false claims that Border Patrol officials were whipping illegal immigrants from Haiti.

For the second evening in a row Tuesday, ABC and CBS continued to peddle the debunked and malicious smear that mounted Border Patrol agents were “whipping” Haitian migrants that tried to cross into the United States illegally. While they either scoffed at or ignored the statements from knowledgeable sources explaining the training and basic horsemanship, NBC Nightly News again bucked…

On Monday, the liberal media really started paying attention to the crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border but it wasn’t the nearly 15,000 Haitians living in squalid conditions under a bridge they were concerned about. Suggesting the image of a mounted Border Patrol agent attempting to stop an illegal immigrant was “a kind of barbarism and we have to be better than,” CNN Prime Time host…

Parroting the Biden White House’s use of “horrific” to describe the images coming out of Del Rio, Texas Monday, ABC and CBS drew viewers’ attention to the crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border. But no, they weren’t talking about the nearly 15,000 Haitian illegals living under the international bridge in squalid conditions, they were spreading misinformation and lies about Border Patrol agents…

Over the Labor Day weekend, the liberal media uncorked another piece of truly fake news thanks to a Rolling Stone story that claimed an Oklahoma hospital had been overrun with people having overdosed on the medication ivermectin. Among the frauds was none other than MSNBC’s The ReidOut host Joy Reid, who spent just over six minutes on Friday using the tall tale as a jumping…

The mainstream media is keeping quiet after several major news outlets fell for an unbelievable hoax. And Big Tech continued to spread the hoax. When Rolling Stone published an article with the headline “Gunshot Victims Left Waiting as Horse Dewormer Overdoses Overwhelm Oklahoma Hospitals, Doctor Says,” the MSM pounced, eager for a chance to blame unvaccinated individuals. There was…

Apparently, pushing the fake UVA rape story and the subsequent lawsuits wasn’t enough to persuade Rolling Stone magazine from sticking to covering just music. But in a now-discredit article published on Friday, the music rag claimed Northeastern Hospital System Sequoyah was making gunshot patients wait as they deal with an influx of people overdosing on a livestock deworming…

Google whistleblower Zach Vorhies says Google altered its news algorithm to directly target former President Donald Trump. Vorhis was a senior software engineer at YouTube and Google. He…
