Daily Wire: Former FBI Officials Charged With Lying About Hunter Biden Case

Grade F (58/100). The Daily Wire quotes Patel, Pirro, the Justice Department's examples and Floris's lawyers

F: Gets a fact wrong and leaves out key context.

  • Gets a fact wrong (minus 24 points): 'Floris once made headlines after claiming she was “running a shadow government”' (presented as her own public claim; Newsweek, same day, reports it as an allegation Patel referred to: 'an allegation that Floris privately described herself as “running a shadow government”')
  • Leaves out something important (minus 18 points): the magistrate judge's remark that the charging seemed 'strange' and his refusal to delay the preliminary hearing, reported by CBS News and Newsweek, are not included
