Breitbart news, compiled some of the biggest misleading news pieces and outright lies over the course of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The reporting is getting so insane, it is impossible to keep up with the constant stream of lies, misquotes, Chinese propaganda, left wing opinion disguised as news and intellectually dishonest “click bait”.
For example the N.Y Daily News, posted a story linking The Poison Control Center,managing a total of 30 cases of possible exposure to disinfectants between 9 p.m. Thursday and 3 p.m. Friday, and comparing this to last year when poison control responded to 13 cases of the same issue, linking this somehow to Trump’s question about the possibility of injecting disinfectants, which itself was twisted into a international media panic suggesting that Trump instructed people to inject Lysol and bleach. The click bait headline declared “A spike in New Yorkers ingesting household cleaners following Trump’s controversial coronavirus comments”, upon reading the story, there is no evidence suggesting anyone who called into poison control , injected anything because of the president, they called in exposure to disinfectants, something which is frequently reported to poison control hotlines. The result of the deceptive news, thousands of people re-post the story on social media, spreading a story which essentially proved nothing and sole existence of writing the piece was to connect Trump to something negative.
Here are some of the incredible things Breitbart reported on .
- New York Times: Trump Ignored Experts Who Wanted Country Closed in February
The far-left New York Times blasted President Trump on Easter Sunday with a litany of serial lies that claimed the president knew the coronavirus was coming and ignored medical experts who were urging him to close the country all the way back in February.
Dr. Anthony Fauci debunked this lie (and this entire narrative) the following day when he informed the public that Trump not only took the advice of his medical team the very first time he was advised to shut down the country, but that he has always accepted their recommendations and has done so immediately.
What’s more, the very idea that medical experts were urging Trump to shut down the country in February is absurd. On the last day of February, Fauci said it was still safe to go to the movies, malls, and gyms. As late as March 9, Fauci was telling everyone it was still okay to hold campaign rallies in certain areas and safe for the healthy to take a cruise.
- CNN’s Chris Cuomo Remained Heroically Quarantined Until Cleared
After he was diagnosed with the China virus, for weeks and weeks and weeks, CNN and Chris Cuomo was selflessly holed up in his basement as a means to protect his family and the rest of us from infection. This bald-faced lie extended to CNN event programming that showed Fredo triumphantly exiting his basement for the first time.The truth, though, is that Cuomo violated his quarantine on Easter Sunday with a 30-minute trip to some property he’s developing. The trip included his wife and kids. Cuomo’s wife and 14-year-old son were both eventually infected. As of today, Chris Cuomo is the only American while knowing he was infected and, therefore, infectious, deliberately violated his quarantine and put others at risk of a deadly disease.
3. Trump’s Council on Reopening the Country Is Staffed with Only Donors and Supporters ABC News hid from the public the names of those on the council who do not support Trump. This was a case of literal “fake news”
4. Biden Adviser Claimed 100 Million Americans Would Be Infected by Now
During a March 27 appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a member of Joe Biden’s coronavirus advisory group, shrieked about how 100 million Americans would be infected within four weeks.
“Right now, if you look at the numbers, we probably have a million COVID-19 cases in the country,” he said while no one pushed back. “And if this is doubling every three to four days, that means that we’ll have 100 million people who have COVID-19 in about four weeks, and that’s a frightening thought.” He was only off by 99 million and change. Not a single reporter will refer back to this interview and ask Dr Emanuel or Joe Biden about this
5. Trump Hired a “Labradoodle Breeder” to Lead Coronavirus Task Force
On Wednesday, fake news wire service Reuters fired off this horseshit headline: “Special Report: Former Labradoodle Breeder Was Tapped to Lead U.S. Pandemic Task Force,” which quickly flew around the world. More desperate lies. Describing Brian Harrison as a “labradoodle breeder,” someone who served at the Department of Health and Human Services under both George W. Bush and President Donald Trump, is like describing Walt Disney as a newspaper boy. Yes, for a time Harrison worked in the family breeding business. Yes, for a time
6. Dr. Rick Bright Was Fired over Opposition to Hydroxychloroquine
Some guy named Rick Bright is claiming he was booted by the White House over his opposition to hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for coronavirus.
Naturally, the fake media ran wild with this story. The truth, though, is that Bright’s removal was in the works all the way back in January over his incompetence. Oh, and we now have internal emails proving he praised hydroxychloroquine. During Thursday’s coronavirus briefing, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins and her crone face shrieked at and heckled Trump over this, even though the far-left Politico had debunked it hours earlier.
