Media Didn’t Report On Biden’s Senility Because Republicans Noticed It
As if we needed more proof that the media's vested interest is in promoting and protecting Democratic politicians.
After President Joe Biden's embarrassing performance at the debate last month, the united progressive media leaped into action. Seeing the writing on the wall, that most viewers would correctly assess that Biden's mental decline was overwhelming and refuse to vote for an obviously senile candidate, the knives came out.

Suddenly, think pieces, editorials and talk show debates were everywhere: Is Biden too old to run? These conversations sounded familiar to many on the right – because they'd been happening since 2020. After years of completely ignoring the obvious signs, or laughably labeling videos of a failing Biden as "cheap fakes," the media perked up. Reporters started quoting sources close to Biden describing his failing mental abilities.
And a new report from CNN accidentally revealed the reason why it took this long for them to accept reality: because Republicans noticed it first. Seriously.

CNN Says The Quiet Part Out Loud On Joe Biden's Age
CNN's Hadas Gold asked White House reporters whether they didn't do more work on Biden's "mental fitness" because they wanted to "prop up the campaign." Shockingly, they said no.
"The media has faced accusations that it has not covered Biden’s mental fitness more aggressively because it wants to prop up the campaign in some way – an accusation the White House reporters CNN spoke to denied," Gold writes.
Then in the very next paragraph, those same sources admits that they didn't actually do their jobs because it would have made Democrats mad.
"Several White House reporters told CNN that the coverage of Biden’s age and his mental stamina should have pushed harder," Gold says. "They cited several difficulties in doing so before the debate – from the obvious political motivations of sources who either want to protect Biden’s image or project a certain image, to the blowback from pursuing such reports, especially from the White House and Democrats."
So they didn't report on Biden's age because, in part, they were lied to by their friends in the Democratic Party, and because their allies in the party would have been upset if they told the truth. But Gold unwittingly reveals an even more important reason why liberal media reporters had no interest in reporting: because it would have proved Republicans right.
"Biden’s age was also a right-wing talking point for years, something the White House was quick to point out to reporters, which may have inadvertently turned off any serious investigation," Gold writes.
And there it is.
Liberal ‘Journalists’ Won't Accept The Truth If It Comes From The Right
This sounds an awful lot like "misinformation," doesn't it? Maybe even interfering with our, *gasp*, sacred democracy itself?
The media, the White House reporters, whose one job is to uncover and report on the truth about the nation's most important politicians, no matter how uncomfortable, had no interest in covering a story because it came from their political opposition. Remember when "speaking truth to power" was a core tenant of the political left, of the hallowed capital J "Journalism" class?
Turns out, that only matters when their party isn't the one in power. Or when the truth is coming from those they disagree with.
Those closest to the Biden administration had no interest in reporting on one of the most explosive stories in American political history because it was difficult and would have made their party look bad. And because the right noticed it first. It's quite literally impossible to have too much contempt for the "work" these "reporters" do.
They are the opposite of everything they claim to be; partisan, incompetent, and willing to lie to the public to advance their political goals. The President of the United States has been mentally unfit to carry out his duties for *years*, and they ignored it because Republicans pointed it out. It's a disgrace. And given the media's performance on COVID, where they demonized the truth while elevating incompetent powerful figures like Anthony Fauci, an all too predictable one.
