And the media is cheering it on.
Incredible.
I remember when White House Spokesman Ari Fleischer made an off-hand remark about what he thought was Bill Maher praising the Al Qaeda terrorists, suggesting that people should watch what they say, and we have spent years hearing about the Bush administration “terrorizing”, “censoring” and “intimidating” the press.
Bush was compared to Hitler and the incident still continues to be brought up today even as the Biden administration is fighting in court for the “free speech right” to censor political opponents on social media, and now the White House has fired off a letter to FOX News warning it to stop covering Joe Biden’s corruption.
The White House is formally calling on Fox News to walk back its coverage of bribery and corruption allegations against President Joe Biden.
In a letter sent to the right-wing network’s top brass this week, which has not been previously reported, Ian Sams, a top White House spokesperson, noted that the ex-FBI informant who was the source of the bribery claims has now been charged by federal authorities for allegedly fabricating the story.
“Despite this, Fox has taken no steps to retract, correct, or update its reporting on this false allegation from 2023,” Sams said in his letter to Fox News chief executive Suzanne Scott, president Jay Wallace, and Washington bureau chief Bryan Boughton.
Despite media misinformation, Smirnov’s allegations were a late-arriving cherry on the cake in an investigation that involved IRS whistleblowers, business partners of Hunter Biden and extensive information from his own laptops.
Yet forget that for a moment.
Imagine the response if the Bush or Trump administrations had sent such a threatening letter to CBS News.
This isn’t even coming from the Biden campaign, a distinct organization, or any of the numerous leftist groups it has at its command, but from a special assistant to the president, with Anita Dunn cc’ed on it.
And the media is cheering it on.

Given how quickly Fox folded and went by the Biden narrative in 2021, they might as well just do what Karine Jean-Pierre is asking them: I doubt that they have much of their conservative following left after letting go of the likes of Tucker Carlson, Dan Bongino, Ed Henry and Lou Dobbs
Wellington says
Yes, Fox is pathetic but the rest are beyond pathetic. This is the state of the media in today’s sorry-ass America.

I dropped Fox for Newsmax in 2021. After Newsmax changed so that their regular stars feature in Newsmax+ (which is a paid service) while the complimentary service is Newsmax 2, I downloaded KlowdTV, which has, aside from Newsmax 2, other Right leaning channels like Salem News Channel, OANN, The First & a few others like GB News, France 24 & so on. They have different grades of channels depending on how much one is willing to pay, including a free one
All that aside, I now watch others like Tucker Carlson, Dave Rubin, Megyn Kelly, Charlie Kirk, Trish Regan and several others on either YouTube or Rumble. There isn’t a dearth of news or opinion sources, depending on what I want. Also, I don’t have to have the live latest breaking news, so I can wait until a feed is simply available and watch while convenient
As John Nolte of Breitbart suggested, cutting the cord (i.e. stop paying for your cable subscription) is a good idea to defund the likes of CNN, *NBC, ABC, PBS, Fox, et al. They get paid by the carriers irrespective of how many people actually watch their channels
Paul says
I’ve been there for years now. Screw MSM.
tom lahmsn says
Newsmax is steadily leaning left. Even judicial watch refers to illegal aliens as migrants. I keep waiting for the official designation to become “casual tourist”!
libertyORdeath says
I think they just called Arizona for Biden in 2024
Mark Conley says
Fox has not been a conservative news source in a very long time, at best dating back to the time of W. Fortunately we now have other alternatives to find the truth, like this one.
Wellington says
And why anyone who would vote yet again for the total skank who is Joe Biden in 2024 I want not only not as a friend but not even as an acquaintance—including relatives.
Joe Biden and his ilk are destroying America. Conclude accordingly. I have.
Mari Forever says
That word skank iis 100% right.

They have said it is a “Russian” thingy. Seems these people, if one can still call them people, have an obsession with Russia.
The former story was that Russia was helping Trump win; and now, it’s Russia is providing “false info” to bring biden down.
those Russians are such good guys.
biden’s own brother has told of corruption by the pretender to the oval office; but no one is supposed to inform the public about what has been going on since the day biden learned he could sell his name.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
The other news that broke in the last few days is that the CIA had foreign intelligence agencies of our “Five Eyes” “allies” (Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand) spy on the Trump campaign b’cos they themselves weren’t allowed to. And that’s what was behind the intimidation of George Papadopaulos and other members of the Trump orbit
While criminal action does need to be taken by the next administration against the CIA, FBI & other intel agencies, one thing we need to do is pull out of “Five Eyes”. If we have zero tolerance for Russian interference in our elections, the same should be true about it being done by any foreign power – British, Canadian, Australian or whoever! They thought that they were being cute by doing the CIA a favor, but their governments should know that when they interfere in US domestic politics like that, then the party that they targeted can penalize them diplomatically when it comes to power. That way, foreign governments – friend or foe – will quickly learn not to mess w/ our internal politics, even if a corrupt regime of ours asks them
somehistory says
I read a little about the ‘five eyes’ thing. If it was only used to warn other nations of serious threats, it might be acceptable. But, the way it is used is similar to having a third party hire a hit man to take out a wife, husband or business partner.
Politics isn’t called dirty for no reason.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Politics was always dirty, but one thing that we, nor any other country, ever did was get other countries involved in taking down an opposition (or a regime). Except maybe regimes that were already puppets of another power (like the Warsaw Pact countries during the Cold War)
Like NATO, the “Five Eyes” is a quaint association, and we have no business being in it
Donovan Nuera says
I wonder if Joseph Mifsud is at Davos or Gstaad or Tahoe or St. Barts right now…..
brenrod says
“The other news that broke in the last few days is that …..”
Actually, it broke years ago when it was happening at the same time and. Mike Rogers stopped the NSA illegal database searches and warned newly elected trump that he as being “wiretapped”; the next year FISA judge rosemary Colyer issued her report showing 85% of those searches were illegal. Also the senate intel committee coverups of Comey illegality. I was following the story on websites like conservative treehouse and others.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
We do have to deal w/ the internal law-breakers, although that one looks like a tall order, given all the establishment Republicans who’re one w/ the Dems in not wanting to disrupt DC. I was talking about our “partners” who get invited to join in this sabotage: we should put a diplomatic price on them, so that next time any government of ours asks, they simply refuse
SC says
That alone should result in at least one arrest. And would if the FBI werent already part of the DC corruption epidemic.
Westman says
Say it ain’t so, Joe!
We remember your bragging about holding a billion bucks until a Ukrainian prosecutor was fired. That was two’fer proof of corruption, father and son. But the man who did that is no longer there, is he? Just a man who doesn’t know Israel from Ukraine and must take note cards to cabinet meetings. Who is running the government in your absence?
I want to hear that Oligarchs, the Eite, and unelected technocrats aren’t running the government through security agencies, courts, DOJ, and bought media. Please tell me that my Senators and Representatives pick up the phone when I call and keep the big donors, who never lived in my state, waiting. How could there possibly be any corruption when my represention was bought without my consent?
Tell us the truth about the war in Ukraine, tell us you’re not letting half a million current and future fathers, husbands, sons, and now, daughters continue to die in a war you’re fanning and could have allowed to stop in 2022. How could anyone be so callous and demented to think that spending the men of another nation for your own ends and profit has any semblance of virtue?
I have so much confidence in the false statistics your admin and corrupt media sells about Ukraine winning that I’m storing food and creating shelter for when your admin stumbles into nuclear war after discovering the NATO woke army can’t handle Russia, let alone China. We see clearly that the flip side of socialist government is incompetence. We see its actions mirroring bananna republics, which is just amateurism.
And did you send money to the PA where it was used as, “Pay For Slay”, and did you send money to UNRWA where it was used to “educate” children in the way of specific violent jihad – that Jews are the enemy who should all be killed? Did you send money that helped pay for tunnels, arms, and support of the terrorists, Hamas, who you now want to protect ?
Jim Harmon says
It’s as if Joe has gone outright Nazi.
Mari Forever says
I cannot help feeling with the nasty leftist corruption all over the world, also those elites who are trying to enforce The Great Reset by that old German guy Klaus Schwab. That someone whom we were warned to not follow (SATAN), must be happy like hell to see that so many people have become so evil only thinking of trying to turn Earth into hell. The action against the Jews for centuries has been terrible. As for that satanic cult which has fooled so many people into believing what that disgusting pseudo prophet was supposed to have said and done. I lived 11 years in those countries interested in finding out what that cult was about. I actually feel very sorry for those non-radicals who have been so endoctrinated with so many lies. Thank goodness for especially Robert Spencer who has published many books telling us the truth 100%. (I have bought several of his books). Also thanks for such a site on internet. I hope it won’t be forbidden.
brenrod says
Well said. He also sent 6 billion dollars to Muslim terror state Iran, lije his mentor Obama, who then activated their proxies to commit 7 Oct. atrocities and ignite a war. It’s amazing that folks don’t see the obvious and ask what he and his handlers gained from these events. But then folks did not see the bagman link in the crackhead son selling half million dollar paintings and receiving 80k per month sitting on Burisma.
Jay Lykins says
The mere fact that they would ask sounds like corruption.
ed says
Covering the biden family corruption is a full time jib
John Smith says
Joe dementia is the most corrupt president to ever set foot in the white house. The corruption runs so deep in that family, of course they want to close anyone down who reveals the truth about them..
brenrod says
Correction: They want to JAIL anyone who reveals the truth.
John Smith says
Good point
somehistory says
And deny counsel, while holding them without bail, hearings and communication with family or others.
John Smith says
When it first came out about the millions they’d received from our adversaries, I thought that would be the end of the Biden’s. Apparently not, the MSN still remains relatively silent and to me it looks as if they’ve got away with it.
somehistory says
John, it does look that way. Pretending to be Christian won’t help any of them when true Judgment comes knocking.
It’s kind of like the student who cheats, gets others to do his work just so he can pass. But when it comes to doing, he’s in a leaky row boat without a paddle. Judgment is sure, even when we witness crooks “getting away with” their crimes.
brenrod says

“Despite this, Fox has taken no steps to retract, correct, or update its reporting on this false allegation from 2023,”
So, basically he seems to be saying that arresting a whistleblower or journalist, threatening them with jail time is their way of combatting what they call “misinformation”. They are so disconnected from reality they can’t even recognize what’s wrong with this.
MK says
Biden is not corrupt. Your unnecessary obsession with Biden or Democrats is unfounded. Republicans are most corrupt and want to take away freedom of people and they have been successful. in abortion rights/protecting most corrupt person on the planet Trump/Putin.
Wellington says
Get lost. You will make no headway here at JW. Excuse making for Biden is always a sign that a person is ignorant or lying. You come to mind.
As for abortion per se, this is the ONLY area where conservatives want more restrictions and they are doing so out of a conviction that the fetus is a human being in fledgling form—protecting human life is a noble goal, you know, and I write this as someone who is pro-choice but I will not demonize pro-life people as many pro-choice people do. In every other area it is those on the Left who want further and further restrictions. The First and Second Amendments come to mind as do most of the rest of the Bill of Rights. Wake up.
somehistory says
There is no ”right” to kill a baby….no matter the age or phase of growth.
“Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” are the ***rights*** of everyone.
biden and crew are all for saving the lives of murderous criminals, such as the freaks who *masterminded* the terror attacks across the globe and who were caught, at the expense of the lives of those who had not murdered..
But they are willing to sacrifice the unborn on the altar of pretending that women should be allowed to choose to murder or nurture.
And at the exact same time, they don’t allow young girls, and women to choose whether or not they play hardball with males. In swimming, tennis, volley ball, basketball, soccer, and any other sport, males are pretending to be female and injuring and insulting, the real females. And biden is making laws to support them.
biden and his cronies are so corrupt, a group shot of them should be included in all dictionaries defining the word “corrupt.”
James Lincoln says
MK says,
“Biden is not corrupt.”
What???
Veronica says
When did Pravda on the Potomac, the Bolshevik New York Times and the MSM EVER walk back any reporting of Trump’s bogus impeachments, the stormy daniels fake suit, or anything else that made him look bad? The dems say we won’t have a democracy if trump wins. I beg to differ. We don’t have a democracy now. We are in a dictatorship.
