Fact check: Biden makes at least four false statistical claims at CNN town hall - CNNPolitics

It may not seem as harsh as what Trump got, but then Biden doesn't seem to go out of his way to lie.

What?! The media isn’t covering for him just because he’s a Democrat?...

Say it ain’t so!

I'm eagerly awaiting all the Biden supporters to rush the thread and defend how what he said was not factually incorrect.

Any minute now....

Well according to Trump and his followers, CNN is fake news, so that means Biden must have not been wrong.

But seriously, the guy tends to make gaffes with numbers. I'm expecting a few infamous ones to show up throughout his presidency.

When politician lies don't seem so blatant, it means they originate domestically.

When politician lies seem blatant, they're an import.

It's normal for politicians to exaggerate and fib on numbers now and then. (Trump went way, way, way beyond the norm.)

But just because it's normal, that doesn't mean I excuse it. Fix your numbers, Joe.

I've got to admit, I thought Boris Johnson's BUMBLING tomfoolery was bad. And then I came across Biden. I don't want to be mean, but come on. You're a world leader. I know you've had your problems, but you DID win the Democratic and presidential elections, so I'm sure you can muster up some accurate numbers.

He doesn’t lie. He’s just incompetent. Not really reassuring.

No, but CNN does.

He needs to bring information cards with him and use them for things like specific numbers. I've seen even the best speakers do that.
The press secretary brings her book of notes to accurately answer questions from the press. Why not?

But trump being liar, and incompetent, and a criminal was reassuringly okay.

 

[MIDutch]

No, but CNN does.

As opposed to Infowars, Breitbart, Newsmax, etc. I'm sure.

Republicans (whether they love the most dishonest man who ever lived or not) assume just because CNN has spent the last five years sounding like most of its staff are liberals, nothing they say can be true. That idea is nonsense. During the Bush administration, CNN sounded very conservative. It is all about Trump's personality, not the voter registrations of its analysts, causing CNN to appear more biased to the left than it really is. Republicans totally ignore the fact that former Republican Senator Rick Santorum is an analyst on the network no matter how many times I remind them who he works with.

But seriously, the guy tends to make gaffes with numbers. I'm expecting a few infamous ones to show up throughout his presidency.

At least Joe Biden is willing to admit it. Last year he admitted many of his statements are gaffes. I do not want to make this sound like an excuse, but read about it in an article about how his stutter causes some of them, such as saying "my last boss" instead of "Barack Obama" during a campaign event. People need to realize sometimes he actually knows the facts and misspeaks, which happened during a 2020 debate I watched. So I will use a fact checker instead of assume he is lying to push his agenda.

And it's nice to see the fact-checkers haven't retired -- I vaguely recall someone lamenting not keeping a running count on President Biden.

Trump isn’t the president. At some point you’ll have to stop using him to deflect.

You forget - he pretended to care about abortion so anything else he did was acceptable.

Fact check: Biden wrong on three statistics he cited in ABC interview

 

[Ringo84]

That's better fact checking than you often see from the likes of Glenn Kessler and other self-appointed Guardians Of Truth.

So "which" was Trump then? I honestly don't recall you providing EITHER of these options and his interviews and fact checks were a complete and utter trainwreck.

 

[rambot]

No, but CNN does.

Really? This make it sound like it's a consistent behaviour pattern?

I imagine you are going to be able to provide a TONNE of examples then right?

I found this. Is this a pretty summative list?
