Joe Biden at 2024 Christmas tree lighting ceremony
The election was over two months ago and people are still talking about Biden’s obvious mental decline. Journalist Mark Halperin is saying that the media must admit their role in covering it up.
The editorial board at the New York Post is taking a more extreme position, saying that any journalists who gaslighted the country on this should never live it down.
It’s easy to see why the Post would take this position. Remember, they were targeted by other media outlets when they tried to report on the completely real Hunter Biden laptop.
From the New York Post:
President-elect Donald Trump is forcing the Democratic politicians who spent years lying about President Biden’s senility to take their bitter medicine, but we’re more concerned about the toady media who played along.
Trump on Monday posted a video showing clip after cringe-worthy clip of Democratic leaders from Rep. Nancy Pelosi to Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas denying again and again that Biden was mentally and physically deteriorating, claiming he was “sharp,” “on his game,” “focused” and that “his age is an asset.”
Every last one deserves scorn, but so do the journalists who not only let these fantastical fibs go unchallenged, but even parroted the lies: Biden was showing no signs of mental decline, they insisted — and it was offensive, ignorant and borderline bigoted to even suggest otherwise.
The entire idea that Biden was anything but healthy — virile, even — was treated as a right-wing, tin-foil-hat talking point…
And at every turn, spineless, in-the-tank journos obediently did Team Biden’s propagandistic dirty work — right up until the debate, when Biden’s senility became too unmistakable to continue denying.
Ed Morrissey of Hot Air says that it’s too late for the media:
It’s too late, even if they were inclined to try. They had four years of opportunity to demonstrate integrity, or perhaps even five, as the signs of Biden’s decline were obvious even during the presidential campaign. The final debate with Donald Trump had Biden “sundowning” in the latter third of the debate, when Biden got lost in a debate on fracking and energy production. Their willingness to kowtow to the Democrat elite and go along with this cover-up enabled the fraud on the American public, and they’re still far from coming clean on it — even as Biden remains in charge for another 18 days.
That’s why it is so important to support independent media and platforms.
The New York Post is right. These people never should live this down. They lied to the country and attacked people for telling the truth.
