FAKE NEWS FAIL: New York Times “Fact Check” of Important RFK, Jr. Claim Regarding Froot Loops Blows Up in Its Face When X Users Spot the Truth in Paper’s Own Article

by

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. derangement syndrome has struck the Fake News Media as he appears poised to become America’s next Health and Human Services Secretary. And they are falling flat on their faces in an embarrassing fashion.

RFK Jr. has laid out a bold plan to rid the FDA and other federal agencies of the deeply embedded corruption prioritizing corporate profiteering over public health.

One of his top goals will be to rid our foods of the toxic chemicals, including food dyes, that are making Americans sick. Here he is in a video explaining how the FDA is signing off on the alleged poisoning of Americans.

RFK Jr. has singled out Froot Loops, a popular cereal, to help further his point. He has consistently pointed out that while other developed countries use natural ingredients to color the cereal, the U.S. uses food dyes that are illegal in several countries.

This week, The New York Times tried to dunk on RFK, Jr. with a “fact check” regarding Froot Loops. The writers tried to claim he was wrong to question why the U.S. version has so many artificial ingredients compared to the Canadian version which has far fewer.

Here is the paragraph in question:

Mr. Kennedy has singled out Froot Loops as an example of a product with too many artificial ingredients, questioning why the Canadian version has fewer than the U.S. version. But he was wrong. The ingredient list is roughly the same, although Canada’s has natural colorings made from blueberries and carrots while the U.S. product contains red dye 40, yellow 5 and blue 1 as well as Butylated hydroxytoluene, or BHT, a lab-made chemical that is used ‘for freshness,’ according to the ingredient label.

According to The Times, there is no difference between the Canadian and United States versions of Froot Loops as long as you ignore the harmful chemicals in the U.S. version and the natural colors in Canada’s Froot Loops.

In other words, the paper inadvertently admits RFK, Jr. is RIGHT when they were trying to fact-check him.

This self-own was not lost on X users, who responded by roasting The New York Times, causing the story to go viral and blow up in the paper’s face.
