First there was Russiagate. Then there was Very Fine People. Skipping ahead about 100 corporate media hoaxes, we come to the new “misleading video” hoax.
After President Joe Biden ran off-screen chasing a parachute at a G7 meeting and froze at a Juneteenth celebration, the internet began to bubble up with the idea that this was all a fake news story. Biden was not mentally or physically out of sorts, and all of this was just deliberately edited footage to discredit him. As any honest observer can clearly see, this is insanity, but it was only a matter of time before the corporate media picked up on the story with the same fervor they used to attack so-called public health misinformation.

Of course, the New York Times charging Protests against “misleading videos.” “Many of them [are] They portray a “distorted online version” that is “edited and lacking context.”[s] “It addresses long-standing concerns among voters about his age and competency.”
The argument is that these are just small clips, appear It's unnatural because it lacks the broader context. Sorry, but I don't see how freezing like a corpse for a few seconds can be normal human behavior, let alone presidential behavior. Biden is clearly no longer the person he used to be, and the dozens of gaffes, lumps, falls and stumbles during his time in office make that very clear.
However, in recent days, a number of reports have been published making the same claim. The “misleading video” hoax, also known as the “cheap fake” hoax, is as if MSNBC, CBS, Hill, Rolling Stone And that The Washington Post Everyone has collectively decided along the same lines, but there is unlikely to be any coordination, as everyone is instinctively driven by the same partisan tactics.
That won't work. They're worried because the video confirms Americans' suspicions. If Biden were fine, there would be nothing to worry about. But most Americans are already overwhelmingly concerned about Biden's apparent decline, so no amount of cries of “misinformation” will persuade them.
