f--k these assholes

Who is she to state that he has an “obvious” decline?

They are all stenographers.

Biden was ill with a bad flu. That was the under reported story, you twit. He was ill, but went on that stage to debate someone whose cognitive decline is so obvious even a one year old can see it.
Its decline is the most under reported story, you moran!

Hardly. There was a period where it seemed Biden’s mental state was all they could talk about.

She's the one doing the gaslighting

While they are harping at Biden's supposed decline, they let Trump skate.

Media types trying to blame the coming disasters on Biden’s staff dishonesty instead of the media whitewashing of corrupt Trump cabal.

Hope Joe lives long enough to bury many of his critics.

....when they started sane-washing Trump.

Fellatio on a microphone.
Garrett and his ilk covered this up.

Our devolution from the grace of President Carter to the crassness and ignorance of the above.

perhaps the person who wrote this has cognitive decline.

cough.
remember when the NYTimes had 30 articles in one week about Biden's supposed decline? That doesn't sound "underreported" to me.

In the real world. you know the one where truth matters, it was actually the most overreported story of 2024

...every physical exam included a mental assessment which has never found any 'cognitive decline.'

This type of journalism demonstrates either a corrupt reporting process, or an ignorant one.

...the Wall Street Journal. There was a time, pre-Murdoch, when the WSJ kept a clear boundary between its newsgathering and editorial functions. They were always known for their insane op-eds, which in those days came from the furthest-right neocons they could find, but their business news reporting was beyond reproach. After Murdoch bought the paper, it appears to have become Fox-ified to the point where at least some of the news coverage has the same slant as the editorial page.

If any other reporter has confirmed the WSJ "senile Joe" story, I haven't seen it. I count on the "Breaking News" and "General DIscussion" sections at DU--which have the broadest selection of news sources anywhere--and as far as I know, there has been no other coverage of this story outside of "Murdoch world".

Bill and Hillary Clinton could tell people all about that insane WSJ editorial page and the part it played in the fake "Clinton scandals."

...Amity Shlaes, and numerous others, the majority of them neocons. Many of them are now sucking up to Trump, which is why I haven't paid any attention for years now.

Okay.

were yucking it up on the campaign trail sharing recipes for cats and dogs.

This is mainstream journalistic malpractice, talking around their obvious failure to accurately depict Trump and his flaws.

And the other guy is evil, so there's that.

Maybe joe should have painted his face tan and dyed his hair. Prob would have made a diff in this superficial country of ours.

And it's no secret. trump's mental decline has been on display for that reporter who now only mentions Biden.

What bullshit.

Under a rock? This was the most reported story in July.

Biden and Harris were held to a standard above and beyond TSF! It is surreal to think that the press, doctors and R’s let him skate back into power. Mind boggling and sickening!

He's declined PHYSICALLY. His speech issues, his gait, all point to increasing frailty.

But his brain is fine. He knows how to govern; his moral core is intact.

By mentioning having a primary, I assume so. It would have been interesting to see how a primary would have turned out. The public as a whole was frustrated with the Biden administration's approach to inflation, while remaining popular with the majority of the Democratic base. Would there have been a candidate that broke through that would have beaten Trump? My guess is no given the reordering of the primaries would seemingly favored Harris with South Carolina first and her being VP, but it might have put her in a position to focus faster on how she would have differed from Biden. I think that her initial comment that she wouldn't have done anything different hurt her a lot in terms of being tied to Biden in the eyes of the public.

He is still 100x sharper than Mr. Trump.

I say this from having the weird experience of watching the first debate on a monitor while I was at the gym. I only had the text on, not sound. If that was your only reference, Biden won the debate easily. I was dumbfounded by the reaction to the debate when I got home.

And then Biden went in to effectively run the country for MONTHS. He is an extremely able administrator.

This is gaslighting bullshit
