The fact check fraud at the Washington Post

 Power Line:

The Washington Post has run one of its putative fact checks on Joe Biden’s confusion of George Bush with President Trump in the video I posted here yesterday. I have reposted the video at the bottom. The Post fact check by Meg Kelly runs under the headline “No, Biden did not confuse George W. Bush and Donald Trump.”

Kelly first finds that Biden might have been referring to George Lopez, one of his interlocutors in the interview from which the video was clipped. Then Kelly implicitly asserts that Biden was indeed referring to George Lopez, awarding RNC tweeter Steve Guest “Four Pinocchios for his efforts,” as she puts it.

Borrowing my evaluation of the fact-checking site Snopes in my own case, I award the Washington Post a very phlegmy Four Flems. The Post is working overtime as the media arm of the DNC and the Biden campaign. We have gone somewhere beyond farce. It’s an area we call The Twilight Zone.

Mollie Hemingway concisely responded to the Post in two tweets below.

There is more.

This is a "fact check" that stands logic on its head.  Biden obviously made a mistake and the WaPo Biden defense group compounded the mistake by trying to rationalize it.  When dementia Joe screws up they leap to his defense. 

More on the media operation to protect Biden from himself.

Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
