Media fact-checkers brought ruin on themselves

Published



Media fact-checkers self-immolated their credibility when they conspired with Biden government bureaucrats to suppress questions about the possible lab leak origins of COVID-19, the efficacy of masks and social distancing, and vaccine side effects. As Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) observed, we need new conspiracy theories because “all the old ones turned out to be true.”

I had an up-close and personal encounter with these biased “fact-checkers.” On Jan. 19, 2015, I addressed London’s Henry Jackson Society and decried “no-go zones,” where the police were unable to enforce the law, to proclaim the need for assimilation to accompany immigration. My remarks caused predictable liberal denunciations, and I was invited by the international media to defend my statements. CNN’s Wolf Blitzer challenged my claims that these zones existed but allowed me to cite local police officials to make my case. As such, the media debate amplified my impact and strengthened my argument.
