Biden admitted his biggest disappointment — and Democrats should pay attention
Story by Ja'han Jones • 16h


As he prepares to leave office next week, President Joe Biden reflected on his administration's legacy, and his answer to a question about his biggest regret should be a blaring siren for Democrats.

In a recent interview with USA Today, Biden told reporter Susan Page he was most disappointed in his administration’s failure to combat the rise of misinformation.

Whether the topic was immigration, the economy or the Israel-Hamas war, misinformation created hurdles for the Biden administration over the last four years.

Per USA Today:

His biggest disappointment, Biden said, was his failure to effectively counter misinformation, including that from Trump. He said that challenge reflects the revolution in how Americans get their news, and whom they trust to tell it. ‘Because of the way, nature, the nature of the way information is shared now, there are no editors out there to say “That’s simply not true,”’ Biden said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

He apparently wasn't taught disinformation, misinformation, and lying were part of America from day one and is a price that is paid for being free.  However, back in the day, people were more involved in the workings of government and the media than today so were quicker to spot problems.  What he advocates is destroying the fabric of the Republic by having the government determine what is true and, as we have seen from him alone, that is a dangerous, dangerous policy.  I refer alone to his lies concerning immigration and how he would have people stating the truth arrested.

Really, this is the big disappointment. The terrible economy, the disintegration of our military, the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, The fact that every world leader looks at you like a joke? None of those were on your radar?

In other words, "We didn't make the lies big enough..."
