Diary of disturbing disinformation and dangerous delusions

I will not get into private diplomatic conversations or leaked phone call transcripts. Jen Psaki, White House press secretary, September 1

We say: This was the response from an angry Psakis when asked about the leaked July 23 phone call between his boss and Ashraf Ghani, in which President Biden told the President of Afghanistan to l era of lying about the growing success of the Taliban. She reacted very differently when President Donald Trump’s conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky leaked and led to impeachment, tweeting in 2019, It’s not just the transcript of the call. The whistleblower’s complaint would likely have more details. We need both.

We say: CNN Chris Cillizza says the history books will judge that the hallmark of Trump, turbulent for four years in power, is his assault on truth and the role non-partisan media play in society, citing Pews noting that the bulk of Republicans with some faith in the nation news agencies have plunged from 70 percent in 2016 to 35 percent now. Cillizzas’ analysis lacks a bit of self-awareness as he blames Trump for the change and not far-from-impartial media which, to give just one example, has blatantly suppressed reporting from The Posts Hunter Biden while his troublesome father ran for office.

We say: NeverTrumper and former GOP speechwriter David Frum are determined to make Republican governors a new axis of evil. But the facts don’t match: Even now, Florida’s per capita COVID death rate places it 21st in the country, with 205 deaths per 100,000 people as of September 1. Deep blue New Jersey takes first place, with 303, and New York comes third, with 279.

We say: CNN spends a day in the field with the news that Joe Rogan has COVID, claiming the anti-wake podcaster is taking a livestock medicine and an ivermectin horse dewormer to treat it. In fact, the World Health Organization has ivermectin on its list of essential drugs for humans. The FDA-approved pest control drug has gone through dozens of clinical trials as a prophylactic and treatment for COVID, with many small studies finding it extraordinarily effective.
