'Fessing Up
President Biden, in whose long political career has misspoken time and again, has 'fessed up to doing it once more. This time it was about an offhand remark accusing Facebook of killing people because of vaccine misinformation on its site. Yesterday, he clarified his statement by saying it was a dozen participants who are harming the unvaccinated public by posting lies on Facebook, and he hoped Facebook would do something about it. It was the right thing to do, but the press beat up on him anyway, as did Facebook. He deserves it for being inaccurate. Leaders can't afford to spread falsehoods. We know what happens when they do with his predecessor being a prime example. So, kudos for Biden admitting his mistake so quickly, but he had better not do it again.
