Those media fact-checkers who spent every waking moment labeling every utterance of then-President Donald Trump a pants-on-fire lie must be enjoying an extended vacation. How else to explain the fact that President Joe Biden and his top officials get away with telling one falsehood after another without a peep of protest?
We aren’t talking about Biden’s petty habit of embellishing his life, like saying that he was “raised in a Puerto Rican community” or that his house burned down.
We’re talking about big issues — the economy, inflation, the border, taxes and COVID — that could affect how people understand their plight and who they blame for the mess we’re in.
So, since the corporate press won’t do its job, here is a catalog of Biden’s biggest fabrications.
The Economy: Ever since taking office, Biden has told the tale of how he faced an economic crisis “as bad as the Great Depression” and how we were saved by his $2 trillion “American Rescue Plan.”
False.
