In CNN's buildup to the Trump inauguration on Monday, anchor Jake Tapper uncorked a lecture about how five Big Tech executives in attendance “control so much of the information that we receive.”

Was that a warning? Or an expression of jealousy? The leftist media hate that the American people have gone around them for information, and they can’t help but bitterly complain that when Republicans win, people have chosen “misinformation” over the golden chalice of information that is CNN.

President Joe Biden's sudden decision to step down from the 2024 presidential election has laid out a new stream of misinformation about Vice President Kamala Harris, endorsed by Biden to become the Democratic Party's candidate for the race.

Joe Biden’s mental health was going to be an issue in 2024. You don’t get a poll where 86 percent think he’s too old to run without a healthy number of Republicans, Democrats, and independents noticing that the Delaware liberal has lost more than just a step. He needs to be dragged around by his wife or former President Obama, though some disagree this particular moment at an LA fundraiser shows a senior moment for the president. It doesn’t negate that Biden is lost. Better examples of this mental degradation exist, like the G7 Summit, which was a mess. 

Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany attacked President Biden’s campaign for “doing cheap fakes” after the White House addressed a string of edited videos depicting the president looking confused or wandering off.

McEnany and the other co-hosts of Fox News’ “Outnumbered” on Tuesday discussed White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s comments about a number of videos of Biden that circulated online in recent days. Jean-Pierre had referenced a Washington Post report that described some of the videos as “cheap fakes.”

Lawmakers on Capitol Hill are scrambling to address the boom in deepfake artificial intelligence pornographic images, which have targeted everyone from celebrities to high school students.

Now, a new bill will seek to hold social media companies accountable for policing and removing nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfake images published on their sites. The measure would criminalize publishing or threatening to publish deepfake pornography.

Ellis Barry woke up one day in her freshman year of high school to find deepfake intimate photos of her plastered across Snapchat. It took months, dozens of requests and a call from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) for the photos to finally come down. 

That might change soon. 

On Tuesday, Cruz and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) introduced the Take It Down Act, which would require internet sites to take down deepfake revenge porn within 48 hours. 

A bipartisan group of senators introduced legislation that would require social media sites to take down deepfake "revenge porn" and make publishing it a federal crime.

The TAKE IT DOWN Act aims to protect and empower victims of nonconsensual intimate image abuse, also known as "revenge pornography." The bill would criminalize the publication of nonconsensual intimate imagery, or NCII, including AI-generated deepfake pornography, and require social media and similar websites to have in place procedures to remove such content upon notification from a victim.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced a wave of criticism Monday after claiming a series of viral videos of President Biden appearing frail in the past week were "deepfakes."

Numerous controversial videos have emerged of Biden during his visits to commemorate D-Day in France, attend the G-7 summit in Italy, and attend a recent fundraiser for his campaign that have raised questions about his age. 

The White House in the past week has railed against so-called “cheap fakes,” videos edited to look as if President Joe Biden has “frozen” or was wandering away at major public events, while media outlets amplifying the moments have done little to add context.

The videos include one at a D-Day ceremony earlier this month, another at a Juneteenth ceremony last week and still another the G7 summit Thursday. The latest to go viral is a video at the end of Biden’s star-filled Los Angeles re-election fundraiser over the weekend.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blasts Republicans for circulating videos where President Biden appears confused or feeble during Monday's press briefing.

REPORTER: There seems to be a sort of a rash of videos that have been exited to make the president appear officially frail or mentally confused. I'm wondering if the White House is especially worried about the fact that this appears to be a pattern.
