WashPo FactChex





As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.

I have no idea why I came upon this propaganda from the Washington Post, but they get wet in the nethers in claiming the President is wrong and are orgasmic that the President will top 25,000 errors by November.

Reporter for The Fact Checker Education: Emory University, BA, English Salvador Rizzo is a reporter for The Fact Checker. He previously covered New Jersey politics and Gov. Chris Christie, with stints at the Star-Ledger, the Bergen Record and the New York Observer. He was a Washington Post intern and

“The World Health Organization consistently ignored credible reports of the virus spreading in Wuhan in early December 2019 or even earlier, including reports from the Lancet medical journal. The World Health Organization failed to independently investigate credible reports that conflicted directly with the Chinese government’s official accounts, even those that came from sources within Wuhan itself.” 


Richard Horton, the Lancet’s editor in chief, said no such study existed.
“Dear President Trump — You cite The Lancet in your attack on WHO,” Horton tweeted. “Please let me correct the record. The Lancet did not publish any report in early December, 2019, about a virus spreading in Wuhan. The first reports we published were from Chinese scientists on Jan 24, 2020.”


One of the problems in this is Dick Horton is a stooge who preens at the Guardian in the UK. His mission is to make the conservative government of Boris Johnson look bad, to bring it down. Johnson is scorched for not shutting down the plague soon enough, but then Johnson was busy scorching Donald Trump who did shut down the plague.

Horton had his January 24th date, giving cover to the Chicoms and loving their scientists, but I found on Lew Rockwell a quote about an article on Global Research which has since vanished, which quote Dicky Horton's journal, and the time line which is being examined is September and October 2019, which is even ahead of the time line the President was quoting.

I'm not in this to parry what the President says and does not say, but I am in this to make the point that reams of information are online, including from the Washington Post which lied about Judge Roy Moore and liked about General Michael Flynn. The Post makes a CIA Mockingbird habit of twisting stories and their "facts" are never admitted just as they propped up Birther Hussein Obama as a foreigner and a criminal who had two presidential elections stolen for him.

Daniel Lucey, an infectious disease expert at Georgetown University in Washington, said in an article in Science magazine that the first human infection has been confirmed as occurring in November 2019, (not in Wuhan), suggesting the virus originated elsewhere and then spread to the seafood markets. “One group put the origin of the outbreak as early as 18 September 2019.” (2) (3)
China’s New Coronavirus: An Examination of the Facts
Wuhan seafood market may not be source of novel virus spreading globally.
Description of earliest cases suggests outbreak began elsewhere.
The article states:
“As confirmed cases of a novel virus surge around the world with worrisome speed, all eyes have so far focused on a seafood market in Wuhan, China, as the origin of the outbreak. But a description of the first clinical cases published in The Lancet on Friday challenges that hypothesis.” (4) (5)
The paper, written by a large group of Chinese researchers from several institutions, offers details about the first 41 hospitalized patients who had confirmed infections with what has been dubbed 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).


The reality is for the trio at the WashPo FactChex, is they post things which are like Ann Coulter rants, in the one below has absolutely nothing to do with the President being wrong. It is just filler. It takes the word of communists in China and at WHO for fact, and never bother to ask the question that when the WHO is denying Dr. Tedros and dictator Xi have not spoken on the telephone......did Tedros get direction from Skype. from email, was there are direct Chinese representative instructing Tedros, as they did not want the American NSA to find the paper trail?

That is what good reporting would have asked, but when it comes to this amber journalism at the Post, Kelly, Kessler and Rizzo have major discernment problems in their lack of investigation.

Oh and as Kelly and Rizzo like having their names smeared by Kessler as the fact checks, just add this to Richard Horton's expertise, in his prestigous Lancet publication was caught falsifying data on Hydrochloroquine.


Criticism of the President rose sharply after a non-randomised study published in the Lancet said that HCQ provided no benefit to hospitalised Covid-19 patients while being linked to increased deaths. 
What the mainstream media did not point out is that the Lancet study failed to test HCQ with zinc. Other experts have found zinc to be vital for efficacy in this context.

As the study notes:
‘This study provides the first in vivo evidence that zinc sulfate in combination with hydroxychloroquine may play a role in therapeutic management for Covid-19.’
The above makes the question of why zinc was not used in the Lancet study more baffling. And why don’t the media note that the combination of zinc and HCQ is crucial?


It appears that comrade Kessler is not interested in pointing that fact out about his expert accusing the President.

President Trump

“On January 21, 2020, President Xi Jinping of China reportedly pressured you not to declare the coronavirus outbreak an emergency. You gave in to this pressure the next day and told the world that the coronavirus did not pose a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Just over one week later, on January 30, 2020, overwhelming evidence to the contrary forced you to reverse course.”



Glenn Kessler Washington Post Fact Checker
Note the use of the word “reportedly.” Trump appears to be citing a German news report that was based on a German intelligence finding. The WHO has denied the report as “unfounded and untrue,” noting: “Dr. Tedros and President Xi did not speak on 21 January and they have never spoken by telephone.”


I do always try to put myself into the place of people who disgust me to empathize with them, but I honestly could not get paid five or six figures a year, to look at everything Donald Trump says, and then twist it into some kind of misquote or lie, and then put filler in which exposes how asstard the writers are.
I simply could not do a job like that, go home and look in the mirror, without being suicidal. It is just so depraved and inhuman. It is being an ACLU lawyer or Southern Poverty Law Center fraud for the big bucks.

I will never bother to look at another Washington Post screed like this again about Donald Trump, no matter how it pops up in curiosity as once is enough to reject ths Molotov Mob which sound like that nutty Adam Schiff in need of a grasp on reality.
