The filmmaker teamed with True the Vote to lean on digital data revealing the path people, dubbed \u201cmules,\u201d made in the weeks leading up to Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>Taken at face value, the information is startling. The surveillance camera footage is even more alarming.<\/p>\n<p>The revelations are so explosive they cry out for a fact check. And the mainstream media has done just that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.denverpost.com\/2022\/05\/08\/2000-mules-fact-check\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">excoriating the film on multiple fronts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And here\u2019s where the problem begins.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/how-liberal-media-bias-extends-to-arts-coverage\/\"><strong>RELATED: Yes, Liberal Media Bias Extends to Arts Coverage<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The mainstream media is no longer trustworthy on political matters. That erosion, which began in earnest during the Trump years, toppled credible journalism by the time Trump left the White House.<\/p>\n<p>The way reporters treated the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodintoto.com\/adam-carolla-mainstream-media-big-tech-rigged-election-for-biden\/\">Hunter Biden laptop scandal<\/a>, suggesting it was Fake News without an ounce of investigation or curiousity, ended our ability to trust corporate news.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s sad. It\u2019s also true. Since then, it\u2019s only gotten worse.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, The Washington Post used its considerable powers to <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/04\/20\/washington-post-backs-taylor-lorenz-over-libs-of-tiktok-doxxing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">doxx a Twitter account<\/a> that held the Left\u2019s ugly antics up for all to see.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also seen mainstream fact checkers morph into President Joe Biden\u2019s unofficial partners. When President Biden appeared to shake hands with thin air a few weeks back the media fact checkers rushed in to \u201cexplain\u201d what we saw with our own eyes.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Fact check: No, Biden didn\u2019t shake hands with thin air; wasn\u2019t confused [see full clip] <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ex9MaXqf8f\">https:\/\/t.co\/ex9MaXqf8f<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Luis M.
