A few hours later, for undisclosed reasons, the X ‘community note’ was changed to simply say “the video was cropped,” w/a link to a 14-minute clip on the YouTube channel of #SinclairBroadcasting, another #conservative outlet. The new note does little to combat the framing of the post: “President Biden appeared to wander off at the G-7 summit in Italy, with officials needing to pull him back to focus.”

Today, a prominent #NewYorkTimes columnist called on one of the two candidates to drop out. Astonishingly, it wasn’t the #authoritarian #felon who inspired a #violent mob to attack the Capitol, tried to overturn a #democratic #election, has been banned from doing #business in #NewYork due to #fraud [& liable for #SexualAssault]—& yet again showcased his loose grip on #reality by ranting about #sharks.

By contrast, when #Biden makes a gaffe—mixing up a name or a date rather than, for example, suggesting that boats sink because they’re heavy—questions arise about his mental fitness to be president. A president who occasionally misspeaks is far less worrying than one who purveys #delusional fantasies & #ConspiracyTheories. Biden may gaffe, but he lives in #reality; Trump often doesn’t.

These #deranged rants are tempting to laugh off. They’re par for the course. #Trump is Trump. But Trump may also soon be the president of the #UnitedStates. Imagine the response if Joe #Biden had made the same #rambling remarks, word for word. Consider this excerpt (pic)

If #Trump had been able to ask his uncle about the risks of being electrocuted by a boat battery because, as Trump put it, “there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water,” perhaps the professor would have informed him that high-capacity batteries would rapidly discharge in seawater & pose minuscule risk to humans because the water conducts electricity far better than human bodies do.

#Trump, undeterred by #truth or #science, invoked his intellectual credentials by mentioning his “relationship to MIT.” (Trump’s uncle was a professor at the university, pioneering rotational radiation therapy, which seems a somewhat tenuous connection for conferring shark- or battery-related expertise to his nephew.)

Here is the supercut by #PopularInformation [@juddlegum] in 2 parts. It gets old fast, remarkably it’s a full 6 minutes of #LocalNews anchors across the country saying the same thing.

#LocalNews channels across the country used a nearly identical script to push coverage of a controversial @WSJ article questioning President Joe #Biden’s mental fitness.
An eerie supercut compiled by #PopularInformation shows how anchors on dozens of channels owned by #SinclairBroadcastGroup parroted the story in a coordinated fashion.
