Hypocritical Fact-Checkers

ABC News Mocked After ‘Fact Check’ Backfires

On Tuesday, the mainstream media once again came under fire for their coverage, with two separate incidents catching the attention of critics.

First, NBC News fact-checked a claim made by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis during the last GOP presidential debate. DeSantis had stated that he signed an executive order that led to the safe return of over 700 Floridians from Israel, where they were trapped during the recent conflict with Hamas. NBC News deemed the statement only “half true” because DeSantis himself did not fly the planes.

ABC News joined the fray, targeting DeSantis for a statement he made about Utah Senator Mitt Romney during a recent interview. DeSantis had said that he “didn’t know” Romney, who is retiring in 2024. ABC News then unearthed a black-and-white photo from DeSantis’ Harvard Law School yearbook, showing him holding a sign while campaigning for Romney in 2002. The headline of the ABC News article suggested that DeSantis was being dishonest about not knowing Romney.

You can't make this stuff up!
