WorldNetDaily managing editor David Kupelian wailed in a July 16 article:
While the Republican National Convention was getting into high gear Monday, NBC News was broadcasting an uncut 18-minute interview with President Joe Biden, conducted by longtime network anchor Lester Holt.
In addition to frequently sniping at Holt for the questions he asked and didn’t ask, Biden – for no apparent reason – chose to repeat the Trump-is-like-Hitler claim that he has repeated more often than any other throughout his presidency: namely, “the Charlottesville lie,” the false claim that Trump expressed admiration for Nazis after a rally in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017.
The claim has been continually debunked by both left and right for the past seven years – most recently by left-wing fact-check site Snopes, which declared definitively, “No, Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists ‘Very Fine People.'”
Nevertheless, Biden not only featured “the Charlottesville lie” during his ill-fated CNN debate with Donald Trump, but he dredged it up again in the middle of his interview with NBC’s Holt.
As we pointed out when WND touted Snopes’ work, Trump made numerous comments about Charlottesville, and those sticking only to words ignore the context in which he said them — namely, that the rally was organized by white nationalists — which means that Snopes botched its fact-check, and Kupelian is censoring a crucial fact from his readers. Nevertheless, Kupelian raged:
Biden has often falsely claimed, as he did again during Monday’s NBC interview, that Trump’s supposed pro-Nazi post-Charlottesville comments constituted his very reason for running for president. The fact that this “very fine Nazis” claim has been utterly and totally debunked by every side for years apparently exerts no impact on Biden, who many longtime political analysts have described as a pathological liar.
No mention, of course, of the thousands of lies Donald Trump has been caught in, which some (though not Kupelian) might consider pathological. That link, by the way, goes to a Fox News article written by former Media Research Center staffer Gabriel Hays that also censors mention of Trump’s serial mendacity.
But Kupelian had some hypocrisy to spread as well:
As WND recently documented comprehensively, Biden, Democrats, leftwing activists and most of the national news media have continually, since 2016, likened Donald Trump, his policies, beliefs and ideology to Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Party and the Third Reich.
As we also pointed out, Kupelian and WND have spent years likening both Barack Obama and President Biden and the policies, beliefs and ideology to Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Party and the Third Reich. He has previously huffed that such Trump-Nazi comparisons put Trump’s life in danger — but he won’t admit that the Nazi comparisons he promulgated the the lives of Biden and Obama in danger.
If Kupelian can’t admit that he gleefully did what he’s accusing others of doing, he has a failed as a journalist and, frankly, as a human being.
