Fox News Corrects Biden BeefGate

Fox News anchor John Roberts issued a fact-check regarding a false claim about President Joe Biden’s climate plan — and what it means for burgers — that rocketed around conservative media over the weekend.

Roberts corrected the record on Monday:

On Friday, we told you about a study from the University of Michigan to give some perspective on President Biden’s ambitious climate change goals. That research from 2020 found that cutting back how much red meat people eat would have a drastic impact on harmful greenhouse gas emissions. The data was accurate, but a graphic and the script incorrectly implied it was part of Biden’s plan for dealing with climate change. That is not the case.
