Right-wing news media invents a story about a liberal politician. Mainstream media debunks it. Liberal media uses the invented story to defend the liberal politician from legitimate criticism and from the left. It happened during the Barack Obama administration, and it is happening under the Joe Biden administration already. This is not just about hamburgers. #joebiden #climatechange #barackobama BIBLIOGRAPHY AND FURTHER READING: https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/right-wing-media-invented-biden-ban-meat-because-theyre-incentivized-lie https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/apr/26/fox-news-channel/joe-biden-banning-burgers-fox-news-gop-politicians/ https://thehill.com/opinion/energy-environment/545892-does-bidens-2-trillion-plan-to-rebuild-infrastructure-and-stop https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/549648-biden-aims-for-50-to-52-percent-emissions-reduction-by-2030 https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/verify/national-verify/biden-administration-red-meat-consumption-university-of-michigan-study/536-ec779795-82a3-4279-ad9e-163ab59f4db2

Is this the 2023 Game of the Year, the 2024 Game of the Year, or the greatest and freakiest game of all time?
