Drew Holden: The Media's Lafayette Park Propaganda Was the Key Lie That Put Biden Ahead In the Polls

First, Drew Holden notes the media's massive push to make their then-most-recent information operation viral:

A few of CNN’s key voices chimed in along similar lines. Here’s @Acosta, running with the same point about causality that the IG report dashes.

“Just an unbelievable use of military and police force to clear out Lafayette Park protestors for a photo op”

Any follow up, @Acosta? pic.twitter.com/AJnKeHiOMR

But it wasn’t just CNN, of course. Lots of examples from @nytimes, too.

I ask this earnestly: @peterbakernyt, @maggieNYT, @katierogers, @KannoYoungs, @ktbenner, do you still stand behind this reporting? Do you think this is neutral and accurate framing of what happened? pic.twitter.com/IBl3rCpor2

But @MSNBC was pretty close behind them, both in print and broadcast. These are just a few examples.

Again, causality is clear: this thing happened because Trump wanted it to. They had a rotating series of guests on to drive the point home (more on that soon). pic.twitter.com/5zYAKmfaQJ

See the thread for more examples. Unfortunately, he does not document the massive support for this socialist propaganda push coming from Hot Air, "News and commentary from a conservative perspective."

The lie worked:

At the risk of putting too fine a point on it: this moment, while surely not a unicausal phenomenon, represented a turning point where current President Biden overtook former President Trump in the polls.

We’ve now learned that the narrative surrounding that event wasn’t true.

I can bust on AllahPundit for amplifying and spreading one leftwing disinformation campaign after another all I like, but I'm quite sure that he is sitting back with a smug grin on his face, repeating the words of Harry Reid, defending his lie about Romney not paying any income tax in ten years:

"Well, it worked, didn't it?"

And he still works for "News and commentary from a conservative point of view."

Conserving conservatism, one socialist lie at a time.

At least AllahPundit still has Joe Biden on his side:

He's using the American military against the American people.

He tear-gassed peaceful protesters and fired rubber bullets.

For a photo.

For our children, for the very soul of our country, we must defeat him. But I mean it when I say this: we can only do it together. https://t.co/G1yE67q9Nz

Like AllahPundit, Joe Biden has not admitted he lied.
