The New York Times was mocked Tuesday for a euphemism-stuffed report on President Biden’s falsehoods, filled with such softened language as "embellished narratives, sometimes only loosely based on the facts, to weave together his political identity."
The article, "Biden, Storyteller in Chief, Spins Yarns That Often Unravel," by reporter Michael Shear and fact-checker Linda Qiu, noted the president "has been unable to break himself of the habit of embellishing narratives to weave a political identity."
The Times piece spotlighted Biden’s recent claim that he "had a house burn down with my wife in it" when it turned out to actually be a small kitchen fire that was under control in 20 minutes.

"The story is not an isolated example of embellishment," the Times noted. "The exaggerated biography that Mr. Biden tells includes having been a fierce civil rights activist who was repeatedly arrested. He has claimed to have been an award-winning student who earned three degrees. And last week, speaking on the hurricane-devastated island of Puerto Rico, he said he had been ‘raised in the Puerto Rican community at home, politically.’"
None of the claims made by Biden were accurate.
"Biden’s folksiness can veer into folklore, with dates that don’t quite add up and details that are exaggerated or wrong, the factual edges shaved off to make them more powerful for audiences," the Times reported.
