It’s here. The long awaited 8th Annual Fake News Awards. What crimes against humanity did the mockingbird repeaters of the dinosaur media manage to whitewash last year? And what disgusting dissembler of deceptive disinformation will walk away with the biggest dishonour of them all, the Fakest News Story of the Year?
Brought to you by:
Jaguar – Copy Nothing. (No, seriously, don’t copy our ad campaign, guys, you will go out of business.)
Neuralink – Come on…get the chip! Yeah, it’s exactly what Klaus Schwab and the entire globalist class want to use to implement their transhuman New World Order...but Elon Musk is that cool space guy!
So without further ado lets get onto the awards ceremony hosted, as usual, by our intrepid friend from the flat earth society Bent Krockman (aka James Corbett of the Corbett Report).
THE FAKEST AI-GENERATED GARBAGE OF THE YEAR!
The nominees are:
— Stanford professor Jeff Hancock, whose biography claims he’s “well-known for his research on how people use deception with technology,” for apparently using deception with technology by citing numerous academic works that “appear to have been made up by artificial intelligence software like ChatGPT.”
— Amazon Fresh for their “Just Walk Out” “AI-powered” cashless video surveillance system that in reality turned out to be 1,000 underpaid Indians.
— Xinyu Guo, Liang Dong and Dingjun Hao for “Cellular functions of spermatogonial stem cells in relation to JAK/STAT signaling pathway,” a paper that was published in the Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology journal in February...and then promptly retracted because it was, in fact, completely fake, AI-generated garbage.
— Meta for their nightmarish plan to unleash AI-generated characters—complete with profiles, backstories and “personalities”—on all their garbage social media platforms.
And the winner is –
Xinyu Guo, Liang Dong and Dingjun Hao for “Cellular functions of spermatogonial stem cells in relation to JAK/STAT signaling pathway”.
The first tip-off to this report’s unreliability? The AI-generated image accompanying the article, depicting a rat (helpfully labelled “rat”) standing upright like a squirrel and sporting a massive penis several times bigger than its own body and not one, not two, not three, but FOUR testicles! To top it off, the grotesque image was accompanied by nonsensical labels of made-up AI-hallucinated gibberish words like “dissilced,” “testtomcels” and “senctolic.”
Following publication, concerns were raised regarding the nature of its AI-generated figures...Frontiers would like to thank the concerned readers who contacted us regarding the published article.
Fakest Global Warming Story
The Nominees are -
— Sky and the BBC and Australia’s ABC, and a slew of other fake news MSM outlets, for blaming an imaginary air turbulence problem on fake weather gods.
— The UK Met Office for LITERALLY MAKING UP 103 FAKE TEMPERATURE STATIONS AND REPORTING 30-YEAR AVERAGES FROM THOSE NON-EXISTENT SITES!
— The UK Met Office for telling the public that the cold April they experienced was all in their heads.
— Every mainstream media outlet and every establishment institution and every scientific paper that assert in a self-deconstructing argument that every country is simultaneously warming faster than every other country!
— Columbia Climate School for fearmongering about the Great Barrier Reef, which, in reality, just hit a new record coral cover for the third year in a row.
— Axios, The Washington Post, the Associated Press, USA Today, and the New York Times, and dozens of other dinosaur media liars for ginning up a fake news fear campaign over heat deaths during the annual Hajj in Saudi Arabia, incorrectly attributing them to angry weather gods instead of cyclical weather patterns because “climate” is only “weather” when it’s cold outside.
— Michael Mann and his colleagues for forecasting an “unprecedented 33 named tropical cyclones” in 2024, a prognostication that turned out to be the “wrongest count ever predicted.”
— The EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service for using their climate crystal ball to “report” in advance that 2024 will be the hottest year ever—a claim that comes from their “reanalysis” dataset that only goes back 80 years and doesn’t even use actual thermometer readings, instead combining “past observations with models to generate consistent time series of multiple climate variables.”
The Winner is –
— The UK Met Office for LITERALLY MAKING UP 103 FAKE TEMPERATURE STATIONS AND REPORTING 30-YEAR AVERAGES FROM THOSE NON-EXISTENT SITES!
That’s right, as originally reported by Ray Sanders and followed up in a series of extensive reports by The Daily Sceptic, the UK’s national weather and climate service has been involved in a massive, ongoing scheme to control the future by controlling the past, creating data for 103 of their 302 weather stations that seemingly do not exist!
The site for “Dungeness,” for example, provides 30-year rolling temperature averages from 1960 to 2020 but fails to disclose that the station in fact closed in 1986. Through diligent efforts and actual reporting, Sanders was able to obtain records via a Freedom of Information request that allowed him to determine which stations actually exist.
THE FAKEST ECONOMIC STORY OF THE YEAR!
The Nominees are -
— Intellectually challenged New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman for “Understanding the Middle East Through the Animal Kingdom,” a piece of pop punditry so mind-bogglingly stupid that even the mind-bogglingly stupid Thomas Friedman should be ashamed.
Is there a better description of Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq today? They are the caterpillars. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is the wasp. The Houthis, Hezbollah, Hamas and Kataib Hezbollah are the eggs that hatch inside the host — Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq — and eat it from the inside out.
—The American Farm Bureau Federation for “Thanksgiving Dinner Costs Are Down Again,” a piece of PR bunkum that tries its darndest to flatly contradict the self-evident reality of inflation by telling Americans that Thanksgiving is cheaper than ever! . . . before quietly admitting that while costs are down from last year, they are in fact up 19% since the scamdemic.
— China’s National Bureau of Statistics for “Preliminary Accounting Results of GDP for the Third Quarter of 2024,” which reported a completely fictitious 4.6% growth rate for China’s GDP in the 3rd quarter. Not only did former Chinese Premier Li Keqiang privately admit in 2007 that “China’s GDP figures are ‘man-made’ and therefore unreliable,” but prominent Chinese economist Gao Shanwen—the chief economist at China’s largest state-owned investment holding company, SDIC—called out the ChiCom’s fake GDP number late last year, calculating that China in fact averaged “around 2%” of GDP growth in the last two to three years.”
— India Today and The Street and The Federalist and Nasdaq and literally dozens of MSM-tail-chasing, supposedly “independent” media blogs and channels for “The death of the petrodollar,” a viral story that claimed the petrodollar agreement between Saudi Arabia and the US expired on June 9, 2024.
And the Winner Is
India Today, et al. The petrodollar agreement was in fact never a formal agreement and thus has no “expiry date,” meaning it can’t be “cancelled” and doesn’t need to be renewed!
That’s right, folks, as very few pundits at the time seemed to realize, the petrodollar system was a backroom deal cut by Kissinger on behalf of the Rockefellers and the US deep state to entice the Saudis to price oil in dollars in exchange for military protection from Uncle Sam. That secret, informal deal was derided as conspiracy theory until it was finally acknowledged by the mainstream liars in 2016
So, in short: the death of the petrodollar has been greatly exaggerated, and don’t believe everything you read on the internet (whether from establishment sources or supposedly independent ones!).
OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT IN GASLIGHTING!
The Nominees are -
— The BBC for “Newcastle grooming gang jailed for raping 13-year-old girl,” which reports on a gang that used threats, violence, rape and torture on a 13-year-old girl, making her life a “living nightmare” . . . and then casually admitting at the bottom of the article that the leader of this gang of despicable child rapers was lauded in a 2016 BBC puff piece on the plight of Syrian refugees in the UK at the same time that the gang leader had been charged with sexual assault.
— The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists for “Chinese nuclear weapons, 2024,” a Pentagon-sourced hit piece that uses scary-looking pictures of inflatable domes to conclude that China will have 1,500 NUCLEAR WARHEADS BY 2035!!!
— Morning Joe and his wife Zbigniew (along with CBS, CNN, MSNBC and every other three- and four-letter alphabet souper in the den of fake news vipers) for “This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever!”
— The New York Times for “Kennedy’s Vow to Take On Big Food Could Alienate His New G.O.P. Allies,” which included a “fact check” claiming that Kennedy was wrong in asserting that the American Froot Loops ingredients list differed from that found in foreign versions of the product, with the crack repeaters at the Old Grey Presstitute claiming, “The ingredient list is roughly the same.”
The Winner Is –
— Morning Joe and his wife Zbigniew (along with CBS, CNN, MSNBC and every other three- and four-letter alphabet souper in the den of fake news vipers) for “This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever!”
Now, to be fair, Morning Joe was not the only one playing this game.
Take Noah Berlatsky, who brazenly asserted, “There’s virtually no evidence that Biden is in cognitive decline” just months after special counsel Robert Hur declined to prosecute the puppet-in-chief for illegally and improperly storing classified material because of his “diminished faculties and faulty memory.”
And Now Finally the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Did your choice make the short list? Were you able to identify the fakest news story amongst so many?
Drum roll please
The Fake News Story of the Year
Goes to -
CNN’s Jomana Karadsheh for “CNN Exclusive: Syrian rebel leader says goal is to overthrow Assad regime,” which, in addition to sporting the most obvious, inane title of all time, features a pandering, softball interview attempting to excuse, justify, overlook or ignore the reprehensible war crimes of the so-called “moderate Syrian rebels” and their de facto leader, the globally designated terrorist known as “Abu Mohammad al-Jolani” (aka Ahmed al-Sharaa).
Now, to be fair, it wouldn’t be right to pin this “moderate rebel” softballism on Karadsheh and her CNN accomplices alone. There have been any number of fake news pieces by establishment toadies attempting the same whitewash of terrorist atrocities throughout the dinosaur media.
There was “How Syria’s ‘Diversity-Friendly’ Jihadists Plan on Building a State” by Aaron Y. Zelin of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, an Israeli front that Mearsheimer and Walt described as “part of the core” of the Israeli lobby in the US in their groundbreaking 2007 book on the subject.
There was the BBC lecturing us on “From Syrian jihadist leader to rebel politician: How Abu Mohammed al-Jolani reinvented himself” like he was Madonna emerging from another one of her plastic surgery interventions and embarking on a new world tour.
There was The Washington Post describing al-Jolani as a “pragmatic” and “charismatic” leader in “Who is Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the Islamist rebel leading the Syrian advance.”
And who can forget the PBS Frontline interview that marked the beginning of Jolani’s reputation-laundering fake news media blitz back in 2021?
There’s much more to be enjoyed from the award ceremony itself.
I missed all of this but it is great. I'm glad you posted it. These days I just presume all news is fake news though.
Thanks, I agree. They used to tell the truth 9/10 so you'd believe the one lie - now I'd say it was the other round. Just enough truth for believability's sake. Trouble is enough people believe the lies they are being told and that's reinforced by Western AI programmes/fact checkers etc.
