PolitiFact, a fact-checking website known for its partisan leanings, has named Donald Trump's claims about Haitian immigrants making bomb threats as their 'Lie of the Year'. However, the article omits crucial information about the threats being hoaxes originating overseas, highlighting a potential bias in their reporting.
, released its “Lie of the Year” this week, and to the surprise of no one, it’s just another lame, desperate, and dishonest attack on Donald Trump .
PolitiFact still hasn’t retracted its 2020 “Lie of the Year,” which falsely claimed that those of us lied who said COVID was not as deadly as the experts claimed. And yet, for some reason — gee, I can’t imagine why — PolitiFact buries the fact that those bomb threats, every one of them, was a hoax phoned in from overseas.
Why would PolitiFact bury such a vital piece of information under more than 50 — 50! — paragraphs? I’ll tell you why: because the fact those bomb threats were overseas hoaxes obviously designed to hurt Trump’s reelection chances diminishes the phony narrative that Trump’s “Lie of the Year” resulted in an explosion of racial hatred against those poor Haitians.
