Like a cat at dinner time I eagerly await the Corbett Report Annual Fake News Awards.
Now at last the Fifth Annual Fake Awards is here. With the scamdemic on the wane but a feature throughout 2021, it’s not surprising to find fake stories related to Covid-19 dominated the awards.
James Corbett, under the guise of Bent Krockman, was the host for the evening. I’d rather attend this event than the Oscars, where the entertainment bordered on the satanic. James joked they were a new super-group named Kabal.
Now, onto the awards
Fakest Photo
The supposed victims of gunshot wounds queuing outside a hospital in Oklahoma. All because the hospital was too full treating Ivermectin over doses. It was in fact a queue of people getting vaccinated back in the winter.
Fakest politician/health minister
Anthony Fauci. He earnt his reward by equating himself to science.
Attacks on me are...attacks on science.
Meme
A video reporting on this very story is what led to the Corbett Report’s final strike and removal from YouTube.
Fakest Fact Check
After listing the nominees:
- Politifact - for debunking lab origins of Sars-Cov2
- CTV news for stating vaccines are past the experimental stage (and so therefore don't break Nuremberg Code).
- IFL Science for "debunking" microchip vaccine passports.
The award went to all of them because that's right, in a bombshell story late last year Facebook admitted that ‘fact checks’ are nothing more than opinion.
Fakest Climate Change Story
Basically Glasgow. COP 26 and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero. As headed up by con man in chief Mark Carney. For more information James directs folk to the work done by Whitney Webb of Unlimited Hangout.
And finally drum roll please
The winner of the coveted Fake News Story of the Year goes to “Safe and Effective”.
In my last article I honed in on "Safe and Effective" as the Big Lie so I can’t really disagree with the decision. The Corbett Report does a good job breaking this particular lie down. Especially with a focus on heart conditions and the blame they may try and pin on what’s now being termed PPSD (Post Pandemic Stress Disorder).
Of course the Award (a dinosaur statue) needs to be presented to a body. Therefore the award went to Rachel Maddow – I couldn’t think of a better individual recipient. Although we know her readers don’t expect the truth from her – just opinion.
If you prefer the truth and haven’t yet checked out the Corbett Report this could be an excellent introduction.
Did they miss any you would have nominated? For myself I would have liked to have seen the Joe Rogan takes horse dewormer story get a mention. The entire war on repurposed drugs like Ivermectin and HCQ has been filled with fake news so it is hard to pick.
The climate change award is a regular feature. Maybe we could have a category for an economist. I mean every time Jerome Powell opens his mouth out flows fake news! How about inflation is only transitory.
I do enjoy the Corbett Report and I've learned a lot from his documentaries and interviews. He also does a weekly show with James Evan Pilato at Media Monarchy called New World Next Week. Economics is not their strength though which means that they are missing an important element of the picture. However, the elements they do know are pretty spot on.
