Glenn Kessler embarrasses himself and the Washington Post with Joe Biden stenography, again

Is there anyone more in the tank for Team Biden than The Washington Post and its “fact checker” Glenn Kessler?

In the latest blow to his own credibility (and his employer’s), Kessler has again sneakily “updated” an October 2020 fact check of a New York Post article that cast doubt on our 100% accurate reporting that Joe Biden, as vice president, was involved in son Hunter’s influence-peddling operation via a 2015 dinner with Hunter and Burisma big Vadim Pozharskyi. 

Kessler readily accepted the Team Biden line back then and simply parroted it: “Officials who worked for Biden at the time told The Fact Checker that no such meeting took place.”

He suggested all Biden had done was shake hands and chat with Pozharskyi at a public event. 

Yet soon more evidence supporting our story emerged, and Kessler was forced to walk that back.

He published the first updated version of his “fact check” specifically about the dinner in question, admitting Biden had been there but suggesting Pozharskyi hadn’t and backing Bidenworld’s claim that Joe had only “dropped by briefly.”

Now Hunter’s former biz partner Devon Archer has blown that story up, too. 

“Not correct reporting,” Archer said in his blockbuster recent testimony to Congress.

Turns out Biden was there for the long haul and Pozharskyi was present, too. 

Archer should know: He was there, and he testified at risk of perjury.

Kessler’s “fact check,” by contrast, was based on a denial by the president’s people, who weren’t present and had every reason to lie.

If someone from Trumpworld says something isn’t true, would Kessler take that as gospel and claim some news story stating otherwise was false?

Of course not. 

Because Kessler and the WaPo don’t do journalism.

They do stenography for Biden. 

And the slow, deadly drip-drip of “updates” to confirms it.
