It seems as if the mainstream media is spending more time fact-checking President Biden. That is a change. It may represent a move to find a new presidential candidate before 2024, or it may be that they are simply trying to prove that they are unbiased. Either way, the fact checking is increasing. On Thursday, John Hinderaker at Power Line Blog<\/a> posted an article about some recent fact checks.<\/p>\n

The article cites a few examples, here are some:<\/p>\n

In a Friday speech at the National Safer Communities Summit in Connecticut, Biden spoke of how a gun control law he signed in 2022 has provided federal funding for states to expand the use of gun control tools like \u201cred flag\u201d laws, which allow the courts to temporarily seize the guns of people who are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. After mentioning red flag laws, Biden invoked his late son Beau Biden, who served as attorney general of Delaware, and said: \u201cAs my son was the first to enforce when he was attorney general.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Facts First<\/span>: Biden\u2019s claim is false. Delaware did not have a red flag law when Beau Biden was state attorney general from 2007 to 2015.<\/strong>

\n\u201cPut a pistol on a brace, and it\u2026turns into a gun,\u201d Biden said. \u201cMakes them where you can have a higher-caliber weapon \u2013 a higher-caliber bullet \u2013 coming out of that gun. It\u2019s essentially turning it into a short-barreled rifle, which has been a weapon of choice by a number of mass shooters.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Facts First<\/span>: Biden\u2019s claims that a stabilizing brace turns a pistol into a gun and increases the caliber of a gun or bullet are false. A pistol is, obviously, already a gun, and \u201ca pistol brace does not have any effect on the caliber of ammunition that a gun fires or anything about the basic functioning of the gun itself,\u201d said Stephen Gutowski, a CNN contributor who is the founder of the gun policy and politics website The Reload.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fact-checking Joe Biden poses difficulties. For one thing, you first have to figure out what he is trying to say. Beyond that, just about everything Biden says is wrong, so fact-checking him could be a full-time job. Still, it is interesting that after years of running interference for Biden, some Democratic Party news outlets are starting to throw him under the bus.<\/strong><\/p>\n
