It is the greatest political scandal in U.S. history. The so-called Legacy Media trying to convince the American people that Joe Biden was not diminished during most of his term in office. The public whom Biden was entrusted to serve was defrauded and deceived. So why are the Washington elite and certain Hollywood celebrities, such as George Clooney, so eager to admit the obvious about Biden’s lack of mental acuity? Because being out of power, Biden is no longer a threat. At an LA fundraiser Clooney saw for himself Biden’s infirmity. It took him nearly a month to pen an op-ed in the New York Times informing readers of what most already knew, even if they decided to look the other way.
CNN’s Jake Tapper is on the talk show circuit promoting a new book, “Original Sin,” with co-author Alex Thompson, in which he admits his culpability in not fairly reporting Biden’s condition. He conceded to Piers Morgan the cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline was “maybe even worse than Watergate.” Tapper is seeking to restore any semblance of journalistic integrity he may have had. These very same people who want to re-evaluate Biden will not extend the same courtesy to Donald Trump.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries claims its inappropriate for republicans to be discussing conspiracy theories. News flash: there are conspiracy theories because there are conspiracies. And this one is the most serious in my lifetime. Who ran the country for the last four years? It clearly was not Joe Biden. Are we to believe Biden was mentally fit enough to be trusted with the nuclear codes?
Now comes word that the Biden White House was run by a coterie of insiders including Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti and Bruce Reed, as well as family members Jill Biden and, if you can believe it, Hunter Biden. Tapper and Thompson claim this group of political veterans was running the White House like a Politburo, the executive council of the old Soviet Union. How apropos. Maybe President Trump should order an investigation to see if any of these people or anyone else knew of Biden’s dementia. And what about the pardons, the Executive Orders, the autopen scandal?
And now the D.C. cabal wants us to believe Biden’s cancer diagnosis is something just recently discovered. In July of 2022, while discussing pollution’s impact on public health during a speech in Massachusetts, in one of his more lucid moments, the former President said, “that’s why I and so many other damn people I grew up with have cancer.”
As journalist and author Batya Ungar Sargon recently told Megan Kelly none of this would have been possible if we had a trustworthy media. But the mainstream media is anything but trustworthy. They loathe conservatives, hate Donald Trump, and more importantly, despise the people who voted for him. They are elitists who attended the same Ivy League institutions, go to the same Washington cocktail parties, and believe they are smarter than the average American. They are not. Politicians lie, it’s the media’s job to call them out on those lies, not to put a thumb on the scales for one party over another.
Most members of the major media are admittedly liberal. That’s fine, as long as their biases don’t filter into their reporting. But Walter Cronkite and other respectable media figures of his era are gone, replaced by people with an agenda that does not align with what most of middle America deems important. They lied about Trump and Russian collusion, ignored the Hunter Biden Laptop story, and now were caught carrying water for an addled former president who tripped on stairs, fell on stage, forgot the names of his colleagues, and muddled through four years in the People’s House.
Let’s see how the Fourth Estate covers these revelations. My guess is it won’t. Instead, for the next four years, we’ll be bombarded with stories about how Trump’s authoritarian rule is a “threat to democracy.” We may not have known who was running the White House during the Biden years, but we certainly know who is running it now.
