Mendacity in the Media

Mendacity: Making "a statement known by its maker to be untrue and made in order to deceive; highly fictionalized "memoirs"; in which the facts were few, the mendacities many"

Mainstream media misinformation, mendacity at PBS    "PBS recently reported that, via a phone call, former President Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to delay a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas until after the 2024 presidential election to benefit himself politically.

"Turns out, that wasn’t true.

"In any way, shape, or form.

"Knock me over with a feather. Imagine my surprise when I found out that this, too, was a lie made out of whole cloth!" . . .

Kamala Harris's coverage from the media is déjà blue to Barack Obama's 2008 campaign (nypost.com)    "A year into Barack Obama’s presidency, Sarah Palin, a former Alaska governor and John McCain’s 2008 running mate, mockingly asked a Tea Party gathering a question: “How’s that hopey, changey stuff working out?” 

"The roomful of conservatives howled with laughter because by then, Obama’s dreamy campaign motto of “Hope and Change” had been replaced by hard policy lurches to the far left. 

"The Palin question is a piece of history 2024 voters should keep in mind as they assess Kamala Harris.

"The parallels between then and now are striking. 

"Like Obama, the Democrats’ current nominee has been maddeningly elusive about what she would do as president.

"Yet she is nonetheless riding a wave of enthusiasm that could carry her to the White House."...

 Kamala Harris gave us no idea what she’d do as president (nypost.com)  

Yet Harris herself cited the case as a reason why Trump can’t be trusted. Oddly, she didn’t seem to mind working with Biden despite his family’s influence-peddling scheme, which netted it some $27 million. Or that Hunter Biden is an accused tax cheat and has already been convicted of a gun felony. Selective outrage based on partisanship might help get her elected, but it means she doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of uniting a deeply divided America.

 It's Been 35 Days Since Biden Endorsed Harris, and 35 Days of Avoiding Unscripted Press Conference 

. . ."During the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Fox News’ White House correspondent, Peter Doocy, finally had the chance to ask Harris a critical question: “Are you ready for your Fox News interview?”  However, in her signature cackle, Harris chuckled, shrugged her shoulders, saying, “I’m working towards it,” before walking away." . . . 

ABC News Host Tried to Spin Kamala's Health Care Policy in Front of This GOP Senator. It Got Messy.   "ABC News host Jonathan Karl tried to sell Sen. Tom Cotton some pure snake oil about Kamala Harris, but the Arkansas Republican wasn’t having any of it. Karl got dragged for trying to spread fake news about the vice president’s agenda, which the media is desperately trying to rework as a moderate plan for our nation’s future. Cotton said that Harris wants to eliminate private health care plans, which Karl said isn’t true.  "Cotton then ran a clinic on Harris, who hasn’t disavowed this part of her 2020 platform." . . .
