Snopes confirmed the VA memo was real and said the claim it happened was false too. They rely on their readers not reading.

Tim Pool correctly pointed out the “while eating an ice cream cone” tactic. They take whatever accusation is out there against Democrats and add something like “while eating an ice cream cone.” That way they can claim it’s false even though no one on the right mentions ice cream cones.

"Did Donald Trump do a Super McVarial 900 while yelling "nigger nigger nigger nigger" into a megaphone while sieg heiling and tattooing a swastika onto his chest while attending his Republican Primary victory speech this week?"

Mostly True

They know they can hide the truth deep inside an article and most readers won't read past the lying headline. This also gives them plausible deniability when accused of being fake news propagandists.

How many times have the fact checkers been caught straight up lying at this point? There was the Biden watch check, him saying negro, his backwards helmet, now this and a myriad in between.

Isn’t he also the only president to make not one but two openly racist statements on live TV and STILL won the black vote?

Yikes

Ah, the Snopes grift : "it's true, but let's lie about it to maintain the narrative".

The qualifier is 'secretly' so the fact check can be false. Fact: Biden is doing it openly. It's a far-right conspiracy theory to call it a secret.

Is there a fallacy name for this kind of time-travel DEBOONKing? "It's false today based on additional developments after the original true discovery"?

Well, it was obviously unfounded before because they didn't have the evidence that the reel urnalists(tm) can now provide after denying it in their headlines.
Duh-doy!

Everything the government does is planned and documented. There is nothing random allowed. The statement is correct. They aren't randomly flying people across the border.
