Remember the "Biden bribe" story? The guy who invented it just admitted to making it up.
Remember the "FBI did Jan. 6" thing? According to a new inspector general report, they didn't.
I'm sure Fox News et al will be suitably chastened.

FBI at the Capitol riot? Nope. Joe Biden taking a bribe? Even more nope. New evidence that emerged Thursday via an inspector general report and guilty plea further debunk the claims.

Why do left wing groups do this? They take real issues and they just completely destroy their credibility by chasing the stupidest stuff that turns them into the right’s caricature of themselves. (Yes, this is real—it’s from the BBC).
