Oh how quickly the tide can turn!
Remember when Twitter and CNN were far-left bastians censoring truth and fact-checking Republicans?
Well, they haven’t turned into complete truth-tellers just yet but we’re seeing some major changes.
Stuff I didn’t think we’d ever see.
And it’s all happening under a Biden Regime.
Here is CNN fact-checking Biden…and even giving Trump some praise:

Stunning!
Here’s a portion of the CNN article where they not only fact-check his new lie but they make clear it’s “ANOTHER” false claim — wow:
President Joe Biden has made another false claim about gas prices.
During a Thursday speech in Syracuse, New York, Biden accurately said that gas prices, now averaging about $3.76 per gallon, have declined by roughly $1.25 since this year’s June peak of over $5 per gallon. But then he claimed, “Today, the most common price of gas in America is $3.39 – down from over $5 when I took office.” People in the audience applauded.
Facts First: Biden’s claim that the most common gas price when he took office was more than $5 isn’t even close to true. The most common price for a gallon of regular gas on the day he was inaugurated, January 20, 2021, was $2.39, according to data provided to CNN by Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy – much lower than the most common price today, not much higher than the most common price today as Biden said. In other words, Biden made it sound like gas prices have fallen significantly during his presidency when they have actually increased significantly.
The national average gas price on Biden’s Inauguration Day was also $2.39 per gallon, according to data provided to CNN by the American Automobile Association. The national average peaked at about $5.02 per gallon in mid-June, according to AAA, after a spike prompted in part by Russia’s February invasion of Ukraine. It has fallen substantially since, including a decline over the last month.
In previous remarks, Biden has discussed the state of gas prices in relation to the Russian invasion or the summer peak, not in relation to when he took office. Regardless of his intentions in his remarks on Thursday, though, the price of gas might well be the single most important price in the midterm election campaign, and this speech was the second this fall in which Biden described it inaccurately – both times in a way that made it sound more impressive.
In late September, Biden asserted that “in 41 states plus the District of Columbia, the average gasoline price is less than $2.99.” In fact, not a single state had an average lower than $2.99 at the time. After CNN inquired about that false claim, the White House made a correction to the official transcript to reflect that Biden should have said $3.99, as he had correctly said in other remarks, instead of $2.99.
Here’s Biden telling another whopper:

Here is Breitbart with its own fact-check:
President Joe Biden has made several false or misleading claims while campaigning for congressional Democrats before the Midterm Elections, according to CNN.
Since October, Biden has been out on the campaign trail trying to boost at-risk congressional Democrats as the party loses momentum in the home stretch of the midterm cycle.
However, left-wing CNN highlighted several instances on Saturday where the president made false or misleading statements in October and November.
Trump Tax Cuts
CLAIM: On Thursday in New Mexico, Biden stated former President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts only benefited the top one percent, a claim he also made at this year’s State of the Union address.VERDICT: While the tax cuts benefited top earners, middle-class Americans also received significant tax cuts in the following years after the legislation was signed. As Breitbart News’s John Carney writes:
Eighty-two percent of American middle-class households received a tax cut and Americans altogether received an average tax cut of $1,260. Ninety percent of Americans saw an increase in take-home pay. The tax cuts raised wage growth by 3.3 percent and helped foster historic lows in unemployment.
Furthermore, CNN, via the Tax Policy Center think tank, noted all income earners in each state received a tax cut.
Lowering National Debt
CLAIM: At a Florida campaign rally on Tuesday and at the same New Mexico rally, Biden claimed that his government had reduced the national debt in half.“We cut the federal debt in half. A fact,” Biden stated.
VERDICT: That claim is false as the U.S. national debt soared passed $31 trillion for the first time in October, Breitbart News reported.
CNN pointed out Biden was most likely conflating the national debt and federal deficit, which was reduced in half between 2021 and 2022. However, even that is also misleading, as the federal deficit was expected to fall in fiscal years 2021 and 2022 after record-high pandemic relief spending in 2020
The White House gave up trying to even defend their lies and just deleted the Tweet:
