Here are some of the best examples of media hackery about the Burisma-Biden scandal that aged like fine milk.

“…Presidential candidate says release of FBI informant memo last week escalated his concern…”
“…Vercellone and everyone else involved in these rackets have convinced themselves they’re performing a valuable public service fighting “misinformation” that nearly always conveniently aligns with ideological priors, but I’m not sure they’ve had anyone be blunt: Between her time as a “fact checker” and her new gig at NewsGuard, Vercellone is a censor pure and simple. The business model she’s participating in is to make a profit by narrowing the range of acceptable opinions…”
“…No Evidence that Transgender Interventions are Safe for Children. There is not a single long-term study to demonstrate the safety or efficacy of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for transgender-believing youth. This means that youth transition is experimental, and therefore, parents cannot provide informed consent, nor can minors provide assent for these interventions. Moreover, the best long-term evidence we have among adults shows that medical intervention fails to reduce suicide…”
“…Hunter Biden would dial in his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone into meetings with his overseas business partners, according to testimony expected before Congress this week from Devon Archer, the first son’s former best friend…”
“…The scientific paper “Proximal Origin of SARS-Cov-2,” which was commissioned by Anthony Fauci in order to debunk the lab leak theory of COVID’s origins, has been essentially debunked.
By that, I don’t mean its conclusions have been proven wrong–although by now we all have adequate reasons to believe that they are likely wrong–but rather that the paper itself is a bunch of propaganda written at the behest of the government by pliable scientists who depended upon Fauci for funding, and who clearly did not believe that what they were writing was true. They were engaged in self-conscious fraud.
We now have contemporaneous Slack messages and emails where the authors not only express doubts that what they were writing was true, but that prove they thought that the claim they were making–that COVID arose naturally without human interference and that it spread from an animal to a human being via natural processes–was likely not true.
For instance, the highest profile author of the paper Kristian Andersen wrote this to a colleague during the editing of the paper:
Andersen wrote that “the main issue is that accidental release is in fact highly likely—it’s not some fringe theory. I absolutely agree that we can’t prove one way or the other, but we never will be able to—however, that doesn’t mean that by default the data is currently much more suggestive of a natural origin as opposed to e.g. passage. It is not—the furin cleavage site is very hard to explain”—referring to a feature of the virus that concerned the scientists at the time.
Here are some of the things the scientists were saying to each other as they wrote a paper that purported to prove a lab leak was unlikely and gain-of-function had nothing to do with COVID’s origins.

It certainly looks like Fauci funded scientists adjusted their thinking at Fauci’s request to provide the basis for a preferred narrative. A narrative that protected Fauci and his cohorts from potential personal and professional liability. I suppose if Fauci was funding my research to the tune of millions of taxpayer dollars in grants, I may be inclined to give his preferred narrative serious consideration. It was the censorship, the moral suasion (if you disagree with us you are morally below us), the coordination with garbage media, social media, etc. to censure that makes it so bad. Bad and really disgusting.

Probably don’t want to light yourself on fire either.
The definitive list of climate kook predictions that never happened:
Congressional Republicans are doing fine.
The journal “Lancet” published the chart on left with unequal Y-Axis to downplay fact that cold causes 10X more deaths than heat in Europe. Björn Lomborg corrected this with chart on right.

They think you are stupid.
Rationalizing fakery doesn’t work:
This was clearly deceptive on purpose. It radically changes the visual impression the sides make. Setting the heat side to only go 1-50 would have helped visibility, and it would have still make it apparent that heat deaths are NOT the issue.
But the narrative needs heat death.

Below is the same thing as the chart fakery:
Of course, the CDC is fighting back:

Like a battle of drunks rolling around in the gutter, the FBI comes back with a new low:
We live in the age of absurd stupidity.

Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro comes unglued during a committee hearing and says Republicans are "terrorists" for disagreeing with her pic.twitter.com/iicvCRq53o

“…To hear Democrats talk about Republicans, it’s pretty easy to get the impression that they are all right-wing rabble-rousers made more conservative after the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.
The top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), for example, this week ranted about having to work with unbending “terrorists” across the aisle.
“You are negotiating with terrorists,” screeched DeLauro, her hair streaked a trendy blue, at all her Republican counterparts. “Members on your side, I will continue to call out the harm you are doing in this process, both in what these bills propose to do and in your approach on how we treat one another,” she added, angered that the GOP wanted to temper freebies to liberal LGBT outfits.
But it’s not the Republicans who have radicalized over the past 50 years, but the Democrats, and by a huge margin, according to a deep dive into the latest CPAC ratings…”
Questioning the climate-change narrative is now the ultimate form of heresy.
