Which is "the big lie"?

June 23, 2021. Canard among canards, "the big lie" is an abused and overused term, carelessly echoed by a media sycophantic to the "progressive left," trying to disguise its true colors as tyrannical, fascist, socialists, including the true pro-slavery party of all time, the Democrat party.

Few, if any, media memes have been more laughable, dishonest and foolish than the use across multiple media channels of the "big lie" charge against Donald Trump for challenging the results of the 2020 elections. First, his claims remain unaddressed, so the possibility of his claim being true remains. Even if it is shown to be a lie, it is a bit early to assume that it is one.
George Bush was accused -- labeled -- for lying about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. In truth, he said what he was led to believe to be true, and used the same basic intelligence system that led Bill Clinton to make these claims earlier.
Turns out that the "lies" are not even actually lies in some cases. Much worse is the absence of any examination of much bigger, more purposeful and cynical lies that have been perpetrated and perpetuated by the left and the institutional media in America. When Barack Obama repeatedly, knowingly, dishonestly lied to the American people about his healthcare scam -- "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." And, "If you like your plan you can keep your plan." And, "My plan will save the average American family $2,500 a year."-- were the strongest and most expensive lies in American taxpayer history. As to the first two claims, the overpaid Harvard guru, Jonathan Gruber, repeated claimed in private that lying was essential to selling the plan. Obama knew this. As to the third claim, under the first eight years of Obamacare, the average household health insurance cost doubled, from $14,000 to $28,000, clearly nothing at all like the wholly disingenuous promise made by the president.
Dems assured the public that there was a Russian conspiracy for the 2016 election. When none was found, the Dems fell back on the assertion that there was no proof that there was NOT a conspiracy. Recently, the media had to reverse itself on claims that Trump had had the police gas protestors to clear a path to a DC church, only to realize a year later that Trump had nothing to do with the gassing. A weak correction, a year late. Of Fauci's recently published e-mails, where he garnered praise from a Wuhan lab investor for rejecting the Wuhan lab leak theory of the coronavirus.
In the 2020 campaign there were numerous recordings of Biden taking an entire range of claims on fracking, from complete elimination to no plan to stop fracking, so many different claims in front of different audiences that you need a scorecard to track the range of responses.
When Biden threatened the Ukrainian government to withhold $1 billion in aid unless they stopped an investigation of his son, Biden at first claimed he did no such thing. Then the video of a beaming, scheming, bullying Biden surfaced.
