Quoting Biden and then correcting him, the Times said, &#8220;\u2019On my watch, for the first time in 10 years, seniors are getting an increase in their Social Security checks,\u2019 he declared. The problem: That increase was the result of an automatic cost-of-living increase prompted by the most rapid inflation in 40 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The piece added, &#8220;Mr. Biden had not done anything to make retirees\u2019 checks bigger \u2014 it was just a byproduct of the soaring inflation that the president has vowed to combat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The official White House Twitter account made that same claim about Social Security this week, receiving a swift, community-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/twitter-praised-fact-check-white-house-account-fact-checks-getting-factual-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fact check from Twitter<\/a>. The White House then took the tweet down.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Further skewering Biden, the Times stated, &#8220;It is common for presidents to spin economic numbers to improve their pitch to voters,&#8221; yet &#8220;the president\u2019s cheerleading has increasingly grown to include exaggerations or misstatements about the economy and his policy record.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-says-democrats-deliver-stronger-social-security-warns-gop-majority-sliced\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>BIDEN SAYS DEMOCRATS WILL DELIVER &#8216;STRONGER&#8217; SOCIAL SECURITY, WARNS A GOP MAJORITY COULD HAVE IT \u2018SLICED\u2019<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-ct inline\">\n<div class=\"m\"><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 767px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px) and (max-width: 1279px)\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 1280px)\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/static.foxnews.com\/foxnews.com\/content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/640\/320\/f06d3f99-beaubiden.png?ve=1&#038;tl=1\" alt=\"The New York Times reported on Biden&#039;s gaffes on Tuesday.\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p>\n      The New York Times reported on Biden&#8217;s gaffes on Tuesday.\n      <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The piece did insist that Biden\u2019s &#8220;economic exaggerations generally pale in comparison to the tales spun by his predecessor, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/person\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">President Donald J. Trump<\/a>,&#8221; though the very fact that a major liberal media outlet would go after Biden on falsehoods, turned heads on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Conservative journalist Michael Caputo encouraged the paper to go further: &#8220;Go ahead say it, NYTimes, do it. You can say it: Biden is a liar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., tweeted, &#8220;I\u2019m suspicious of NYT\u2019s motivation for printing the truth about Biden. It\u2019s out of character for them. Perhaps blaming him and his gaffs for the midterm results is the beginning of the left\u2019s effort to replace him with a different nominee in 2024.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Manhattan Institute senior fellow Brian Riedl appreciated the authors for their honesty in reporting the piece. He tweeted, Credit to @arappeport and @jimtankersley for reporting on the White House&#8217;s record of economic misinformation. Its getting worse, and even this article barely scratches of surface of the dishonesty they produce on economic policy, which goes well beyond normal political spin.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RealClearInvestigations senior writer Mark Hemingway tweeted, &#8220;it\u2019s happening dot gif.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blaze Media CEO Tyler Cardon surmised that Democrats are tired of their president.
