Mainstream media just got caught in a massive cover-up about Joe Biden’s health. Mark Halperin exposed how news outlets buried stories about the president’s cognitive decline—a topic even CBS now admits was “under-reported” for years. This isn’t just about age; it’s about hiding the truth from voters.
When Biden struggled during a 2023 debate, his team claimed he was “sick” that day. The Wall Street Journal reported early on that aides managed his schedule to hide his limitations, but big media ignored it. Now they’re finally admitting they should’ve pushed harder to question his fitness for office.
Biden’s own party was worried. Rep. Dean Phillips ran as a younger alternative, arguing the president’s age made him a weak candidate. But Democrats publicly dismissed these concerns—even though rumors swirled in private. They put party loyalty over transparency.
Republicans like House Speaker Mike Johnson called out the obvious. “There’s a difference” between Biden’s past speeches and recent ones, he said. The media treated this as personal attacks, not honest observations about leadership capability.
Biden joked about his age on social media, posting a cake full of candles and saying, “146th birthday!” But polls showed most Americans saw this as unprofessional, not funny. The press barely covered their concerns, denying the public a real debate.
This media blackout isn’t accidental. Reporters dodged tough questions and let Biden’s team gaslight critics. They treated any mention of his health as “disrespectful” instead of responsible journalism.
Why hide this? Because the truth hurts Democrats. If voters knew how much Biden struggled, they might’ve demanded a different nominee. The media chose loyalist spin over truth-seeking.
Conservatives demand accountability. The press failed its duty to inform. This “sham” proves they’re partisan actors, not honest brokers. Remember: a free press should protect the public, not protect politicians.
