PolitiFact Rushes to Defend Chinese Government Against Horrific Claims That COVID-19 Victims Were Burned Alive
Warning: The following article contains content that may be disturbing to some readers.
Liberal “fact-checking” website PolitiFact hates President Donald Trump so much that they’re willing to defend the Chinese government against horrific and stomach-churning allegations that the communist state is burning COVID-19 victims alive in the country’s crematoriums.
A Facebook video published on Feb. 25 by “China Declassified” alleged that coronavirus patients in Wuhan were being “cremated alive.”
In the video, two people are seen wearing face masks in a car. Speaking in Chinese, a woman who claims to be a Wuhan resident recounts her horrific experience of witnessing Chinese officials put a male coronavirus patient in plastic bags while still alive.
Monday, more than a month after the allegations put forth in the video by “China Declassified” went viral, Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported that locals in Wuhan, China have heard screams coming from funeral home furnaces.
RFA quoted a source “close to the funeral industry” who said that he had heard reports of “people restrained and forced into body bags when they were still moving.”
“Some people are saying that … there are video clips of screams coming from funeral homes, from inside the furnaces … which tells us that some people were taken to the funeral homes while they were still alive,” the source added.
Left-leaning PolitiFact immediately rushed to China’s defense and implied – without evidence, mind you – that pro-Trump associates were behind the horrific allegations. PolitiFact did not, however, put forth a rational explanation for why the negative campaign against the Chinese government was carried out.
One interested party that has NOT denied the allegations against the Chinese government is China itself – a fact that PolitiFact freely admits in its own evaluation of claims.
“We could find no other evidence that Chinese officials are cremating coronavirus victims alive. And to be clear, at no point does the video offer any firsthand evidence. We reached out to G News for the source of Wengui’s video, but we haven’t heard back.”
The Facebook post is inaccurate. We rate it False.”
To be clear: PolitiFact’s position is that since the claims can neither be confirmed NOR denied, the allegations are false and the Chinese government is innocent until proven guilty. As a reminder, this is the same Chinese government that was exposed as having withheld and later manipulated data related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Radio Free Asia also attempted to verify claims that crematories in Wuhan are burning victims alive. Once again, the Chinese government failed to confirm or deny the allegations.
RFA noted that it could not independently verify that the Chinese Communist Party was burning coronavirus patients alive, nor has the Communist Party confirmed or denied the rumors. Yet the rumors persist that, to make room for new patients in Wuhan’s overcrowded hospitals, medical staff chose older patients less likely to survive the infection and shipped them to incinerators while they were still alive and conscious.
How sick are the “fact-checkers” at PolitiFact and how deep is their hatred for Donald Trump that they’re willing to automatically defend the communist government of China against horrific allegations of atrocities being carried out against the Chinese people? That’s not politics – that’s a complete and utter moral depravity of the soul.
