Fact-checking Biden’s speech took a while HotAir

As usual, I didn t stay up to watch President Biden give his (not the) State of the Union address last night, preferring to watch the highlight reel this morning. (Note to the White House: If you want old fogies with early bedtimes to watch, do it earlier.) Still, even a brief review of some of the key portions of the address turned up some real doozies in terms of what the mainstream media used to call lies or misleading statements until January 20 of this year. Given the softball treatment that Biden has received from the press thus far, I was curious as to how the major news outlets would do in fact-checking Uncle Joe s claims. I ll confess to being pleasantly surprised when I saw that the Associated Press (who previously amended their style guide to help Biden look better) actually picked apart large parts of last night s speech and did a rather admirable job of holding the President s feet to the fire. Let s take a look at some of the claims they examined and just how far off the mark Biden was.
