So? I really don't get this seemingly terrified obsession with the media. Yes, we have media biased to the left and to the right and some that really try to do journalism without bias. Just deal with it and move on. I honestly hope that I didn't contribute to this unhealthy obsession with my criticism of liberal media bias over the years. I was never terrified of it for sure.
We should want a honest media. Hell…here is the WAPO WH bureau chief on the same damn day the Hur transcript was released:
Sure, we want an honest media. I think for the most part it is honest, but biased. I think the blame for minimizing Biden's decline rests mainly with the White House, Biden campaign and Democratic politicians. The media reported what they were told. And, as I said previously, we knew that Biden was physically and mentally declining because of the media. NONE of us on the WC has ever met Bidne or interacted with him so everything we know about him comes from the media. Of course, the editorialist in the media, including on TV, aren't held to the same journalistic standards and don't always stick to the facts or bother to hide their biases. That's also a left and right thing. Loved listening to Rush, but you had to understand everything he said came from his biases and the truth is that he didn't always stick to the facts either. Same happens on the left.
The press members went after Hur. They should apologize. Obviously, administration officials and other Democrats went after him as well. Have you seen an apology?
Just stop blaming Biden’s feeble- mindedness on aging. Biden has dementia, that ain’t aging. While some memory impairment is a normal part of aging, age-related memory loss is not disabling and doesn’t interfere with normal activities. Biden is obviouly different.
Once again, I just don't agree with you about journalists. They can only report what they're told about what's going on behind the scenes and attribute that to named and unnamed sources. There's no need to apologize for doing that honestly. The vast majority of the minimization effort by the Democrats was done by White House and campaign officials and Democratic politicians who wanted a Democrat to win the White House again in 2024. Do politicians ever apologize for being politicians?
There was a coverup. There should be congressional hearings based on what was reported and what we heard with the release of the audio you posted
I've actually said I thought he was in the beginning stages of dementia many times. I related it to what I saw in my father-in-law's decline as he aged and then his descent into dementia. Dementia comes with aging for those that get dementia. When I say aging, I'm not ruling out dementia at all, in fact I'm including that in Biden's case.
If we have congressional hearings and DOJ prosecutions for every Trump and MAGA grievance there will be no time for anything else.
The best you can say about the journalists during this time is that they were deliberately indifferent to Biden’s feeble-mindednesss. I think a more reasonable explanation is that they actively 86’ed the story. They killed the story.
The only thing dementia and aging have in common is that they are both progessive conditions. Dementia is a disease. Aging is not. Dementia can start in middle age.
I guess I put more weight on an honest media than you do. It’s extremely important to getting an actual conservative viewpoint out there. These people should be put under oath and made to answer questions about why they thought it necessary to lie about the situation. Go back and listen to the video you posted then go back and look at how the media and administration originally went after Hur. It’s not good for the country
Absolutely disagree. The "Big Lie" will go down in history as one of the most consequential lies ever told by a President/former President. And there were crimes committed trying to overturn the election. It's not just this KKK thing you continually bring up. Did you read the indictment?
Trump was charged under a 19th century KKK law alleging that his big lie and urging the electoral college to support him amounted to depravation of voter rights. The theory in Biden’s case would be Biden staff’s active concealment of vital information for election purposes is also depriving voters of rights.
You’ve fully adopted the MAGA trait of personally denigrating those perceived to be enemies of Trump. I’ve heard many conservative lawyers speak very positively of him and his abilities even if they disagreed with bringing that case. The strongest case was the documents case and Trump may have avoided conviction by winning the election.
Biden, Springsteen, Swift, Comey and the meaning of 86, the immigrant survivor show and Trump saying and doing stupid and/or obnoxious shit are all distractions from real issues. Distractions meant to offend us, flood the zone, and control the narrative. 10+ years of this Trump shit and people still don't get it.
It's just my opinion but I don't believe he was capable to perform as president the last year or so he was president. I think his handlers propped him up to make it look like he was capable.
Yep, I'm of the same opinion. I think it probably was becoming a noticeable issue for those close to him before he was elected.
Yup. The public was deceived. Everything scripted. Lies. The continued erosion of our faith in institutions
Yeah that is what I said. Everything that is being said about Biden is just an opinion and can vary widely. I just came to that conclusion by watching him. I went thru the same thing with my MIL... she got so she didn't know my name. I think she recognize me but didn't know my name or my relation.
Yep. I have my opinion based on watching him plus my FIL’s aging and dementia. He was still competent for a good four years and then it accelerated. I think Biden has a year or so before it really accelerates but his prostate cancer may get him first. I don’t know which would be worse on him, probably late stages of dementia.
I don’t think he was competent when he took office. I don’t think it was a coincidence that he had the fewest conferences in history or whatever it was. He was being insulated. Back to even when he ran for office last time. Joe in the basement. This was a massive fraud perpetrated on the public. The radical squad agenda the first 100 days wasn’t Joe Biden. He was a proxy from day one. Guaranteed. Biden was a center Dem his entire career. Zero resemblance to his progressive agenda. Proxy
Amazingly the “incapacitated” Joe Biden won both debates with President Trump per 60+ percent of Americans in the polls. Either Biden’s incapacity was greatly exaggerated (didn’t exist at that point) or President Trump couldn’t defeat an incapacitated Biden in a live debate.
2 days in what 2019. This reflecting on 21 already calling into question his transparency
Debates were in 2020. Biden was declining. No doubt. That he was incapacitated is a an opinion which is not completely supported. It’s not even supported in the Tapper book which lays out Biden’s decline pretty well - based on printed excerpts. It’s really a pointless argument anyway. He shouldn’t have run as many of us said and got out so late it was very difficult for the Democrat to win, especially Harris. All those that wanted Trump to win owe a debt of gratitude to Biden.2 days in what 2019. This reflecting on 21 already calling into question his transparency
President Joe Biden has held fewer news conferences, interviews than predecessors during first year in office
Biden frequently takes questions at events, but has not held many news conferences.www.masslive.com
i don't think he was incapacitated. i think he was diminished. had days worse than others and because of same unfit for hte job
Why would you put any weight on what Tapper is saying, or more importantly what he's not saying, in the book? He was part of the "sharp as a tack" crowd until he was forced to acknowledge otherwise.
... or realized that Trump was even worse.
Why do MAGAs quote it? They are doing that repeatedly. Is this a pick what you like exercise?
So will your Jesus will return "in the clouds" to praise a liar, unfaithful husband and assailant of women?
If "went after" is your standard, there is absolutely no air personality on FoxNews that shouldn't also apologize.
It may be that MAGAs don't really "fear" the media as much as they like to paint the media as a convenient boogeyman they can falsely blame for all the world's deficiencies to reinforce their own miserable biases.
Why do they quote what? Maybe I missed the context.
MAGAs can't tell whether Trump is awake or asleep, because they are too busy screaming loudly in support of him.
No one on this board is more biased and less logical than you. If you think the media is fair and objective than you’re dumber than I thought. And trust me. You’re one of the dumbest people I’ve ever read.
HuffPost 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Says it allMAGAs can't tell whether Trump is awake or asleep, because they are too busy screaming loudly in support of him.
