Journalists missed a reference to a Biden gaffe Monday after the Trump campaign launched a new website titled “Truth Over Facts.”
President Donald Trump’s campaign launched what appears to be a joke website they described as “an investigative website aimed at uncovering the truth behind [former Vice President] Joe Biden’s never-ending, seemingly incomprehensible statements during his third, plodding campaign for president.”
The “Truth Over Facts” title is, in fact, a reference to one of Biden’s public gaffes, where he made the comment during a 2019 campaign speech in Iowa. This seemed to go over many journalists’ heads as they attacked the Trump campaign for the slogan.
“How very Orwellian,” The Daily Beast’s editor-at-large Molly Jong-Fast tweeted. She then stood by her comment in a later tweet when she was directed to a video of Biden coining the phrase.
“This is remarkably similar in name to a leading Chinese Communist Party slogan, ‘Seeking Truth From Facts,'” Washington Post Global Opinions and CBSN contributor Isaac Stone Fish declared. CNBC’s Christina Wilkie tweeted “So I guess the war on facts has a name now.”
Wilkie eventually appeared to figure out the joke, noting that it was a Biden gaffe in 2019. She still tweeted that its satire was “unclear.”
Ezra Klein, founder and editor-at-large of Vox, was stumped too, first tweeting that “If you’d written a satire of the Trump administration where they launched a campaign called ‘Truth Over Facts’ it would’ve been dismissed as heavyhanded and unfair.”
Klein later noted that it was from a Biden gaffe, adding that it it is “amazingly audacious for the Trump campaign to try and weaponize” it. (RELATED: Trump Says ‘Joe Biden Has Lost His Fastball’)

When they think it’s a Trump gaffe: “That shows how stupid and out of touch Trump is.”
When they discover it is a Biden gaffe: “How dare anyone use a simple gaffe for political ends!”
These so-called journalists are imbeciles that are void of any sense of humor. It is not a surprise that these drooling have wits don’t “get it.”
Liberals are so stupid. A former “friend” from HS posted a satirical story on FB about Chris Christie calling obama a “light skinned black man with no negro dialect” believing it was true.
When I pointed out the article was satire after outrage in the thread pursued and it was actually harry reid who made those comments, this person deleted the thread and unfriended me...
Just goes to show that all presstitutes are guided by blind emotion, truth and facts be damned.
“These so-called journalists are imbeciles that are void of any sense of humor.”
Imbecils are a couple of steps up from these willfully deceitful and ignorant morons.
Funny that “Progressives” call opinion ‘facts’.
You know the rest
IN the old days reporters had to be smart - now they just have to go to the right schools, know & hold the liberal 'elite' party line, and/or be members of a fashionable 'victim group'.... What fools.
When they discover it is a Biden gaffe: “How dare anyone use a simple gaffe for political ends!”
Exactly. And they are completely oblivious to the irony.
It is a blatant: Who you goin' to believe, me or your lyin' eyes! moment.
They didn’t forget. They just demand that we forget.
