Larry decided enough was enough. With the mainstream media, save for CNN’s notoriously inept Daniel Dale, slacking off on their duty to fact-check, he took matters into his own hands to hold President Biden accountable for his latest speech. It seems the corporate media has traded in their journalistic integrity for a couple of good soundbites, leaving the rest of America in a haze of confusion and misinformation.
Biden’s speech, widely touted as a big win for his administration, was ripe for scrutiny, but who would step up to the plate? Certainly not the media outlets that have their heads stuck so far in the sand that they might as well be doing the macarena with an ostrich. Critics have pointed out that instead of investigating Biden’s statements, they opted to frolic through the fields of bias, ignoring the open goal of factual accuracy. So, Larry donned his virtual journalist cap and set off to uncover the truth behind the president’s rosy picture.

The results of Larry’s self-appointed fact-checking spree were nothing short of staggering. He found inaccuracies that would make a liberal blush. Promises were broken, figures were skewed, and statements were stretched like a pair of Biden’s favorite pants after too many ice cream cones. In a world where it seems the truth has become a rarity, Larry’s quest served as a reminder that individuals might need to take the reins when the media washes its hands of accountability.
What was especially entertaining was how many of Biden’s claims slipped through the cracks, not just with Dale, but with virtually every mainstream outlet yelling, “Look over there!” as they eagerly waited for the next shiny object. Larry’s diligent research showed that when it comes to accurately reporting on the Biden administration, it’s as if reporters are playing a game of hide-and-seek, and the only thing hiding is the truth.
In a political landscape where honesty is in short supply, Larry’s actual fact-check was like a bucket of cold water tossed on a sleepwalker. It has become abundantly clear that real accountability rests upon the shoulders of citizens unafraid to challenge the narrative being spoon-fed. As Americans gear up for another election cycle, it’s high time they start demanding more than just half-baked platitudes from the leaders they elect—and the media that supposedly holds them to account.
