Greg Gutfeld Puts Biden/Media Collusion on 'Cheap Fakes' Scandal in Perspective As Only He Can

The mainstream media are, as per the norm, doing their part in aiding and abetting the Biden administration/campaign in trying to counter the mountain of evidence - shown in video form - of Joe Biden looking lost, out of it, confused, wooden, and just generally unwell.

The full-court-press from The Usual Suspects, starting with White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, has come in the aftermath of a series of disturbing clips, including one showing former President Barack Obama having to gently lead Biden offstage during a Hollywood fundraiser Saturday, that further raise issues ahead of the presidential election about Biden's age and fitness to lead the country.

While these deeply problematic moments reach back to well before Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 presidential election, the left-wing media's penchant for covering for Democrats goes back much further than that.

But the last week or so of "cheap fake" talking points from the purported reporters who want you to believe that they really are committed to weeding out so-called fake news stories and alleged misinformation caught the attention of Fox News host Greg Gutfeld, who put things in perspective as only he can during Tuesday's "The Five" broadcast:

"Where were these anti-hoaxers in the ‘fine people hoax’, the ‘drinking bleach hoax’, the ‘koi pond hoax’, the ‘migrant kids in cages hoax’, the ‘border patrol migrants whipping migrants hoax’, the ‘lab leak is a conspiracy theory hoax’, the ‘Russian collusion hoax’…?”

The answer is, as RedState readers know and understand all too well, that the mainstream media were right there with Democrats, pushing along the same fake narratives about Russia collusion, the "very fine people" nonsense, and all the rest.

"They're the engine behind their hoaxes," Gutfeld also correctly pointed out.

To put a finer point on it, these same media outlets that are gaslighting their readers and viewers now about how the videos are allegedly deceptive, taken out of context, etc., are the same ones who along with Democrats tried to sell the American people on the supposed need for Trump to be impeached over the Russia collusion hoax, the Ukraine call, and January 6th.

In other words, the national press hasn't just done its part to spread phony Democratic talking points about Trump and other Republicans for the purpose of winning elections, but they've actively and deliberately used their positions to get a Republican president who they don't like removed from office by way of dishonorable and deceptive means.

They're still trying to manipulate voters ahead of the election, but this time around they're doing it by telling you not to believe what you've seen with your own eyes about the current Oval Office occupant.

With trust in the media at all-time lows, it is hard to envision a scenario where they'll be able to pull the wool over enough people's eyes to make a difference in November. But rest assured they will pull out all the stops in hopes that what they did in 2020 by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story will work again in its 2024 incarnation: the "cheap fakes."
