During the CNN-hosted debate between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, Trump&#8217;s campaign launched a fact-checking website called\u200d factcheckbiden.com. This platform was designed\u2064 to scrutinize Biden&#8217;s statements throughout the debate, a tactic that appears\u200b to be\u2064 a strategic response to the 2020 debates where Trump was heavily fact-checked by media.<\/p>\n<p>In\u2063 previous debates, Biden\u2019s historical performance and \u200dhis\u2063 record of alleged \u200cinaccuracies were pointed out, prompting a \u2063proactive initiative \u2063from Trump&#8217;s team to regularly\u2062 update their website with fact-checks aimed at Biden\u2019s claims. The website, previously associated \u2063with the Republican National Committee, now serves as a tool for the 2024 election strategy\u2062 by highlighting\u2062 various claims\u200d made\u2062 by Biden, such as his role in job creation\u2062 and border \u2063issues.<\/p>\n<p>The article reflects a broader criticism of media practices, questioning the fairness \u200cand the role of\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/thursday-october-21st-2021\/\" title=\"Thursday | October 21st, 2021\">establishment news media<\/a> in political outcomes. It indicates that Trump\u2019s team may be using the lessons learned about media influence from the last \u200celection to adapt their \u200bstrategy in combating perceived\u2064 media bias and influencing public \u200dperception in the upcoming \u200delection.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>  <\/p>\n<h2>Brilliant Reversal of 2020 Debates Leaves Biden in a Tough Spot<\/h2>\n<p> <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/maustin\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/maustin\/%20\"><span>Michael Austin<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   June 27, 2024 at 2:04pm <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>The tables are turning on President Joe Biden and the rest of the Democrats on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>During the CNN-hosted presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Biden, it looks like the forces of so-called \u201cfact-checking\u201d will finally be levied in the right\u2019s favor for a change.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3061055\/trump-launches-new-website-to-fact-check-biden-during-the-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington Examiner<\/a>, Trump\u2019s campaign launched an aptly titled fact-checking endeavor \u2014 factcheckbiden.com \u2014 the morning just ahead of Thursday\u2019s debate.<\/p>\n<p>The site contains an email sign-up along with the promise of regular updates fact-checking Biden\u2019s claims during the event.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20240615000000*\/https:\/\/factcheckbiden.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Archived links<\/a> to the webpage indicate it was once an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/army-thousands-forms-help-trump-stands-ready-rnc-deploy-major-election-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RNC<\/a> portal that has since been updated and repurposed for tonight\u2019s presidential face-off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden has been doing political debates for 50 years, having taken part in at least 40 debates since 1972.
