Joe Biden was once again ruthlessly fact checked by Twitter’s Community Notes after he posted a chart claiming that he has created more jobs than any of the other previous Presidents in recent memory, a blatant attempt to mislead Americans.
“This is what happens when you invest in America,” Biden tweeted, adding“We have more work to do – but this is real progress.”
The chart he posted along with those comments shows Biden having created close to 500,000 jobs on average per month since he took office.
It shows other Presidents job creation stats, going back to Reagan, all way lower than Biden’s.
Community Notes soon took over the post, however, with readers pointing out that Biden has not created significantly more jobs than the other Presidents, and the chart merely shows the recovery of jobs after the COVID pandemic and lockdowns, which happened under Trump.
Biden and his handlers are acutely aware of these facts, but purposefully attempted to mislead Americans.
The Community Notes feature works by allowing all Twitter users to collaboratively add ‘context’ to posts. “If enough contributors from different points of view rate that note as helpful, the note will be publicly shown on a Tweet,” the platform states.
The system significantly reduces the risk of any partisan sources influencing the fact checks, as is apparent on other platforms such as Facebook where clearly non-independent actors are influencing content.
As we highlighted last week, Elon Musk touted the system, declaring that “Ending censorship in guise of virtue, handing control of the narrative to the people and actually accurate fact-checking are essential goals.”
“Naturally, those who used to control the narrative and censored views they disliked are less than thrilled,” Musk further asserted, adding “How tragic.”
Now, practically every time Biden tweets, the false claims are exposed:
