Accountability for Journalists Who Concealed Biden’s Mental Decline: NY Post Editorial Board
Journalists Under Fire for Covering Up Biden’s Mental Decline
Journalists who helped the White House cover up President Biden’s mental decline should be held responsible for misleading the public, The New York Post demanded in a scathing new editorial. The editorial board criticized “Dem-friendly journalists” for failing to question the evidence of Biden’s compromised mental state and for not holding the White House accountable.
Renewed Scrutiny on Media Coverage of Biden’s Health
As President Biden prepares to leave office, the media is facing renewed scrutiny over its coverage of his health. Throughout the 2024 presidential race, many media pundits defended Biden against speculations about his mental acuity, despite polls showing that a majority of Americans had concerns about his ability to serve a second term.
Journalists Admit Mistakes in Defending Biden
Recent revelations have shed light on the failures of journalists to address concerns about Biden’s health. Several liberal journalists admitted that they were wrong in defending Biden and ignoring signs of his mental decline. This acknowledgment comes at a time when trust in the media is at an all-time low, according to Gallup polling.
Calls for Accountability and Transparency
The Post’s editorial board emphasized that journalists who perpetuated, concealed, or ignored the scandal of Biden’s mental decline should face consequences and scrutiny. The criticism follows a Wall Street Journal report that alleged Biden’s stamina issues were apparent early in his presidency. The White House disputed the report, citing Biden’s policy accomplishments as evidence of his leadership.
