Get ready for ‘Misinformation’ round 3.
When Democrats, their activists and their media declared that disagreement was not a dangerous contagion known as “misinformation”, a ruthless Big Tech/Censorship alliance took off in 2017.
Round one of the Misinformation Wars was about censoring any materials about Hillary Clinton’s scandals while claiming that the only reason Trump won was because of Russian ‘misinformation’.
Round two was based around censoring Biden scandals and any claims that the election had been rigged.
Since history repeats itself as farce, round three is about videos of Biden acting out of it which have been dubbed “cheapfakes” because they supposedly lack context or have been edited and now are being dubbed as “misinformation”.
Whether or not Biden is out of it in a particular scene, is a matter of perception, not fact. And yet here come the fact checkers trying to establish something that only a team of medical professionals with access to the patient could hope to establish.
NBC News: Misleading GOP videos of Biden are going viral. The fact-checks have trouble keeping up.
Misleading is not true or false. And while some videos may be misleading, others are hard to argue with.
After years of claiming that Hillary and Hunter Biden’s scandals were Russian misinformation, we’re on the verge of claiming that videos of Biden looking ‘out of it’ are an assault on democracy and have to be censored to protect the Democrats from democracy.

The foolish, idiot, liar kjp kept repeating the words cheapfake and deepfake, in response to the videos, claiming misinformation and editing that any of the “republicans” reporting on biden as ‘frozen,’ or out of it, had done.
She had no proof that anyone had edited the videos; couldn’t explain how they would be done, but kept up with the falsehoods.
then some lefty *reporters* were saying the same things.
biden turned and walked away from the group of *world leaders* and Meloni walked him back. biden stood stiff as a board as those around him danced to some nonsense ‘song’ about love.
kjp claimed both of these, and the one of the fundraiser, were all faked by republicans. But why not? biden is a fake and so is his ‘press secretary.’
Wellington says
I hope, somehistory, that Lefties have finally gone too far by way of telling (instructing?) the average American that Biden being just fine is so absurd that this particular lie will collapse under its own weight.
Leftism is destroying America from within and Biden is the front man for all the nonsense, lies and destructiveness which the Left, which has taken over one of the two major political parties in America, is inflicting on arguably the greatest polity in the history of mankind. As I despise Islam—Marxism and Nazism too—so do I despise the Left in one Western nation after another, and most especially here in America, my nation.
somehistory says
I don’t often speak with people out and about, as I rarely go out, Wellington, but when I do, they are almost all aware of the lies being told which they are supposed to believe without question.
It seems that the average American who is gifted with common sense, knows more than would be evident from what we see in the news, and what we are being told by the rulers in charge.
But all of the power rests not with the people, but with those intent on harm.
Rufolino says
Agree absolutely that by presenting a blatant falsehood (that videos of Biden have been ‘faked’), the Press Secretary is thereby destroying the possibility of anyone of integrity trusting this White House regime.
David M says
His handlers must be having a few sleepless nights regarding his upcoming debate with Trump. Obviously they will have him doped up to the eyeballs that night to get through it.
Unless they are planning on letting him crash & burn, then bringing in Big Mike Obama in July like a lot of people think.
Nancy Albert says
I’m mostly in agreement, but the cameras did edit out that Biden was walking over to look at or speak to a parachuter who had just landed when Meloni steered him back to the group. You could barely get a glimpse of the parachuter.
somehistory says
I saw the video where he was near the other parachuter …so it was not edited out…the parachuter had his back to biden…not edited out or we could not have seen him…even a “glimpse.”
biden walked away from the guy the others were all recognizing with their gaze to stand alone. Whether he wanted to speak to the other parachuter is anyone’s guess. Whether he even saw the guy is anyone’s guess. If she had not steered him away, he might have stumbled and fallen over the man.
Wellington says
As Dennis Prager has said many times, Prager being a great American like Robert Spencer and thus lied about regularly, truth is a not a Left-wing value.
Long ago I concluded that for Leftists facts are optional. Ideology, not facts, is paramount with Leftists. Hence the Leftist rot noted here in this article at JW about Biden’s senility. It’s all very Orwellian.
40 rounds says
Yes, it is THE big lie and you would think that a least one mainstream reporter would throw their hands up in the air and say “I can’t do this anymore.”
But alas we essentially have Pravda
Phil Copson says
In the case of Hunter Biden, we have “Depravda”…
tim gallagher says
Biden’s incompetence due to his senility and his physical frailty with those tumbles as well are obvious to anyone. The debate with Trump should be interesting. How are they going to get this almost corpse-like creature, Biden, to perform as though he comprehends anything that is going on around him in that debate? What an embarrassment it is to see such senile old git in the position of President of the USA. The scum that run China, Putin and all the Muslim scum around the world must not be able to believe their luck.
Wellington says
“How are they going to get this corpse-like creature, Biden, to perform…..”
With plenty of drugs, tg, like they have done previously on occasion, most recently the decrepit Biden’s State of the Union speech before Congress back in March.
There is no level too low for the Democratic Party that it will not steep to The continued “promotion” of brain-dead Biden serves as a case in point..
The problem is not Biden per se, problem though he is, but the fact that America now has one of its two major political parties that will do anything to retain power, including promoting an addled old fool for another Presidential term and prosecuting his main political rival with Stalinist show trial garbage as just occurred in NYC.
This is why ANYONE remaining a Democrat is part of the problem and in no way part of any sane and patriotic solution. It is not Biden or even Obama or Hillary which is the main problem. No. The main problem is the ENTIRE Democratic Party of the USA which has turned traitorous—and one knows this by now or should know this. Minus mass exodus from the Democratic Party I fear America may very well be lost. Yes, this dire.
tim gallagher says
It is a dire situation, Wellington, there’s no doubt about that. As you say, it seems that for the Democrats only hanging onto power, no matter whether it means destroying the country, matters. I imagine that that is also the reason for opening the southern borders and letting such huge numbers of people invade the USA. The Democrats figure they will be Democrat voters, so let these huge numbers roll on in. I suspect it is the same story here in Australia with the Labor government which has huge numbers of people being allowed into the country. They figure that these people will vote Labor, killing democracy, and having Labor, our Democrats, in power forever. Very cynical politics and to hell with the country. I hope Biden’s senility is on full display in the debate (I hope that he puts on a display of complete idiocy) although I think that most people who watch the news at all must know that Biden is, for much of the time, about as senile as anyone can be.
Rufolino says
Alarming, disturbing, not to say frightening.

i based my decision in the first one where his liar press sec. that he was engaging with a parachutist.
just look at his face that’s the face of an old man who should be in a assisted living not a person with access to the bomb. i serviced nursing facilities of all types and he has most of the moves in them and yes they do go in and out of full mental clarity and it always gets worse as weeks go by
PRCS says
Joe Dementia WAS meandering from the main group–which was watching the skydiver in front of THEM–to look at another to the right of that group.
The video’s only ‘manipulation’ was the few seconds not seen by most; a few seconds that did not change the basic fact: Italy’s prime minister was sufficiently concerned by that act she felt compelled to guide him back to reality.
PRCS says
Add this to a list of JIP’s ‘cheapfake’ videos:

He’s neither physically nor mentally fit imo to even finish this term let alone another.
Phil Copson says
Hi did the same in Normandy: When he was on the dais with other world leaders he turned slowly round to gaze in befuddlement at the old soldiers seated behind him. You can see Macron glance across at him with a “Now what’s the old fool up to?” look on his face, and then decide to cover for him by doing the same.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
I don’t think it’s a good idea at all for Trump to debate Biden. He should simply refuse: the current terms allow them to switch off the mike after 2 minutes/1 minute, no opening statements & so on. We all know that the moderators will ask follow-ups of Trump but not Biden. He should shift the platform of these debates by denying them to the commission on presidential debates
Phil Copson says
“When Democrats, their activists and their media declared that disagreement was not a dangerous contagion known as “misinformation”…”

Typo – that should read “was NOW a dangerous contagion”

The last time America had a President that remained in power even though he suffered huge mental decline was Woodward Wilson .after his stroke .His wife(or whoever had control over him and his family)was running the country in the last three years of his second term American enter into World War 1 in 1917 as a result ,probation (around 1919 I believe)was enacted , a new federal income first time ever was first enacted.. This was before TV internet or ,even radio ,the elite only needed print media to get the public on there side. The elite own and ran the papers for the most part.
Stanman1947 says
A POTUS must manifest vibrancy, clear-minded intellectual speech, authority and take-no-prosoners. Biden’s cowardly stance about Israel resulted in Hezbollah attacking Israel. Syay out of their way, Joe. Ypu are blaming the only US allie in the Middle East for defending itself? The nest thing fpr our cpuntry AND the election is for both of you to pass away in your sleep (soon) tp enable the parties to select new candidates.
If Joe is elected, it also means another “do othing for 4 years” Harris as VP. Hpw do our allies and adversaries perceive the US? A President who seems lost and confused when before a caamera AND a VP who giggles during srious discussion, and has failed by any measure to improve secirity at our southern border. In other words, those countries that we are committed to protecting AND those agaimst whom protection is needed, see a weak and mentally frail President.
JOE MUST GO. as. must Truump. Take the gloves off and stand alongside Israel unconditipnally.

I agree with everything you say but mate, please use a spell checker!
Clement Alford says
What I find amazing at 78 is the change in the meaning of words and their definitions.
Left in politics no longer means left in the traditional meaning. So for example Antifa’s behaviour for example is almost fascist in its actions, is hardly humanist intimidating elderly citizens on demonstrations!!
So called intellectuals redefine Marxian terms to suit their arguments.
Alliances between religious extremists and the left
Is another good example.
There is no continuity in philosophy!!
WPM says
Old Joe Biden is not changing the meaning of words(definitions ? Joe does not even known where he is most of the time)he is in a total brain fog. His handlers are changing the meaning of words talking into his earpiece ,I think mostly the hate America Obama .He is the author of this mess in my opinion .Like the communist of old they are only too happy to use useful idiots and violence to get their way .Obama said he will total change America and he has done that in his three term
OLD GUY says
Joe’s in trouble, just his movements and facial expressions show it. I’am 81 and could run circles around him and I know where I’m at. He’s a totally wore out old man being propped up by the Biden family and Democrats.
WPM says
I would how much and what kind of drugs the people running Joe Biden will pump him up for the up coming debate next week. I heard the debaters will not be standing when they debate each other they will be seated . Could the drugs they use on old Joe effect his balance ,will the drugs effects last the whole debate ? Will Biden wind down like his batteries are going dead ? Does this endanger his health it seems his family has no concern for him or the country they must keep the power money train running even if he strokes out or has a major heart attack on stage . If he falls ill during or after the debate I am sure the MSM will blame the “meanness” of bad orange man ,not that Joe is in failing health both mentally and physical.
