In a sensational twist, a liberal news outlet has been left red-faced after an audaciously erroneous claim that an AI impersonated former President Donald Trump in a recent interview. The Daily Beast, a publication notorious for its liberal bias, was duped into believing that a stunt by Real America’s Voice involved an artificial intelligence program imitating Trump’s voice.
The faux pas occurred during an interview with the ex-President, where Trump’s voice was patchy and faded. This led to speculations of a possible imposter gambit designed to embarrass the conservative media organization. Zachary Petrizzo, a politics reporter for the Daily Beast, even claimed that Real America’s Voice was investigating whether they were hoodwinked by an imposter posing as Trump.
However, the tables turned dramatically when a close source to Trump confirmed to Fox News that the former President indeed took part in the interview. The voice irregularity was attributed to poor cellular service in the area, not some artificial intelligence hoax. Adding to the humiliation, Trump even shared snippets from his interview, including a fiery jab at President Joe Biden, labeling him a “crooked man” – a clear shift from his usual “Sleepy Joe” nickname.
The Daily Beast was forced to print an editor’s note retracting nearly the entirety of their initial report. The note confessed to removing quotes wrongly attributed to Robert Sigg, the owner of Real America’s Voice. The statement read, “This story has been updated to remove quotes attributed to the owner of Real America’s Voice, Robert Sigg, saying he is investigating whether the call was a prank and criticizing network staffers.” The publication admitted to having text conversations with someone identifying themselves as Sigg, but later found out the number wasn’t current.
Real America’s Voice, standing tall amidst the debacle, proudly confirmed that it had secured a legitimate interview with the 45th President. “President Trump was interviewed on Real America’s Voice Thursday, providing his customary insights and wisdom for our millions of viewers,” a spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
Trump’s decision to engage with the conservative network is a strategic move as he continues to lead the race of GOP candidates by a significant margin. His recent interview with Tucker Carlson surpassed the viewership of Fox News’ recent debate among other GOP presidential candidates, proving his continued appeal within the conservative base.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the lengths to which liberal media will go to discredit conservative voices. It’s an embarrassing gaffe, a classic case of jumping the gun, and a testament to the desperate measures employed by the left-leaning press.
