Corbett: You've been waiting for it all year. So stop waiting. It's here! The 5th Annual Fake News Awards! Bringing you the worst in dinosaur media lies, smears and outright fiction from the past year. Join your host Bent Krockman for a whirlwind tour of fake photos, fake fact checks, fake politicians and of course the fake story of the year. Also, stay tuned for a musical performance by the new pop hit supergroup, KABAAL . . . and a word from our corporate sponsor!
Fakest Photo or Video of the Year
AND THE RUNNERS-UP ARE:
The photoshopped photo from Norwegian newspaper Sunnmørsposten of a "masked" Olav Mestad, the chief medical officer of Ålesund, who was in fact maskless
Biden "driving" an electric F-150
Fake videos of the Kabul evacuation, including a video of a man allegedly hanging out on the engine of a departing plane (although massive props to the Vietnamese graphic designer who originally posted the video, including a whole series of such fakes)
AND THE LOSER IS...
"Gunshot Victims Left Waiting as Horse Dewormer Overdoses Overwhelm Oklahoma Hospitals, Doctor Says" a September 2021 article from Rolling Stone that manages a rare triple play: not only is all of the information presented in the story factually incorrect, and not only did they fail to retract the story when it was debunked (instead opting for the lying "update"), but even the picture they used to illustrate the article was fake news!
See "The Media Fell for a Viral Hoax About Ivermectin Overdoses Straining Rural Hospitals" for more on this truly galling display of faux jounalism.
Fakest Politician or Health Official
AND THE RUNNERS-UP ARE:
AOC showing up maskless among a sea of masked servants in a "tax the rich" dress to the $35,000 a ticket Met Gala, a dress designed by a tax evader
Justin Trudeau for "anti-vaxxers are racist misogynists"
Trump for calling the Warp Speed MAGA jabs his "greatest achievement" and bragging that "I'm boosted"
AND THE LOSER IS...
Fauci for "attacks on me are attacks on science."
Is this real life? Did he actually just say that? That is straight up, comic book, Palpatine-level "I am the Senate!" energy right there.
See my episode on Science Says! for a point-by-point deconstruction of this fundamentally anti-scientific idea and read The Real Anthony Fauci by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for a point-by-point takedown of Fauci's entire career.
Fakest Fact Check of the Year
AND THE RUNNERS-UP ARE:
PolitiFact for their "Pants on Fire" "debunking" of the laboratory origins of SARS-COV-2 . . . which they later had to update with a note to say that since the "experts" they relied on for their "fact check" had changed their mind, they were "removing this fact-check from our database pending a more thorough review" (...we're still waiting, Poynter!)
CTV News for No, COVID-19 vaccines do not violate the Nuremberg Code, which incorrectly states that the COVID vaccines are "long past the experimental stage"
IFLScience (a website with a checkered history of stealing other people's work, for "Fact Check: Will We Be Microchipped With Vaccine Passports?" which uses the very real story of how a Swedish company has devloped a mircrochip that can showcase your vaccine passport status to argue that it's a "public relations nightmare for scientists and a gift to anti-vaxxers," who are obviously still crazy even when they are demonstrably right.
AND THE LOSER IS...
ALL OF THEM! That's right, in a bombshell story late last year Facebook admitted that ‘fact checks’ are nothing more than opinion
Fakest Climate Change Story
AND THE RUNNERS-UP ARE:
The Lancet for "The 2021 report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: code red for a healthy future" which was immediately picked up and regurgitated by the lying corporate media despite the fact that its central assertion that rising temperatures are leading to rising death tolls is directly contradicted by the published research demonstrating that deaths caused by non-optimum temperatures are declining by tens of thousands of people each year.
The Victoria Times-Colonist for "B.C. doctor clinically diagnoses patient as suffering from 'climate change'
," in which they fall for the transparent publicity stunt of Dr. Kyle
Merritt of Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson, B.C. who clinically
diagnosed a patient with diabetes and heart failure with "climate
change." Not only did the Times-Colonist "reporter" not seek any alternative viewpoint
to Dr. Merritt's nonsensical non-diagnosis, it neglected to inform its
readers of University of Washington meteorologist Cliff Mass' exhaustively documented work showing that the "Great Northwest Heatwave" last summer was not climate change but merely weather (because, as we all know, Weather is not Climate!...except when it suits the narrative).
The usual gaggle of climate hypocrites who flew their private jets to the COP26 conference in Scotland to lecture the little people about how they need to reduce their carbon footprint
AND THE LOSER IS...
The Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero for their scheme to get the world's population on board with the creation of a $130 trillion investment trough to be stewarded over by the organized crime syndicate of crooks, criminals, con artists and eugenicists in international finance in the name of "saving the earth!"

FAKE NEWS STORY OF THE YEAR
"100% safe and effective!"
Because we HAVE to go with a single story, we'll give this dino to ... ohhh, I dunno ...
Rachel Maddow for "the vaccines will get us to the end of this."
. . . but to be fair, she wasn't the only one spreading that fake news.
Of course, none of this was surprising to anyone who was paying attention. Viewers of The Future of Vaccines already knew the truth about these non-vaccines way back in December of 2020.
To be sure, there are any number of ancillary fake news stories that deserve to share in this award:
Like the NBC opinion piece, "The Covid vaccine is safe, whatever anti-vaxxers say. Here's why we can trust it," which dovetails with the Milken Institute talk on a "universal flu vaccine" that took place in October of 2019 and featured Tony Fauci and Rick Bright discussing the need for a crisis to speed up development of mRNA vaccines (2019). (More on that aspect of the scam from the Unlimited Hangout series on Moderna: Part I and Part II.)
Also, there was the fake news narrative about the "pandemic of the unvaccinated." That propaganda fairy tale has been utterly smashed over the past year by Ryan Cristian of The Last American Vagabond, who has amply demonstrated that the truth is the polar opposite. In fact, there is a pandemic of the injected.
Then there are the "mystery heart attack" stories, like "Mystery rise in heart attacks from blocked arteries," which miraculously fails to even mention the word "vaccine" despite the fact that the experimental mRNA injection are scientifically proven to "dramatically increase inflammation on the endothelium and T cell infiltration of cardiac muscle" and "Up to 300,000 people facing heart-related illnesses due to post-pandemic stress disorder, warn physicians," which cites "two London physicians" claiming (without evidence) that "as many as three million people in Britain are already suffering from Post-Pandemic Stress Disorder" before bizarrely pivoting into the one and only health condition they attribute to the disorder: heart related problems . . . without ever once mentioning (you guessed it!) the scientifically-proven link between the experimental COVID injections and the increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis among otherwise healthy young men. (And that's not even mentioning the 278% increase in heart attack deaths among soccer players this past year.)
There's also Brianne Dressen and all the other people with life-altering injuries from the injections who have been censored, suppressed and marginalized over and over this past year.
And then there's the Noam Chomskies of the world saying that the unvaxxed will have to be segregated from society and starve to death if necessary and the Neil Youngs of the world clamouring for the suppression of information on this subject.
Truly, many many people have contributed to this, the fakest story of the year (if not the century) and the largest ongoing uncontrolled medical experiment in the history of the human species.
