The White House and mainstream media outlets utilized the term "cheap fakes" to dismiss videos showing President Joe Biden's apparent cognitive and physical decline. Outlets like MSNBC and CNN claimed that videos of Biden appearing confused were "deceptively edited" by right-wing media. This narrative was later challenged by Biden's performance in the June presidential debate, which confirmed many of the concerns previously labeled as "cheap fakes."
