37. I just heard an interview with the WSJ reporter on NPR.

I was in and out of my car so did not hear the beginning, but the jist was that Biden was declining even when he was elected in 2020 and his loyal staff covered it up. I do not know who the reporter interviewed for the article, but her “news” was that even though Biden had been declining his staff was willing to help hide his decline so he could run again.

Of course, thus reporter works for the Murdoch/Fox conglomerate so I listened to the interview either some skepticism. That said, one of my major peeves with this reporter, and actually most reporters, is the lack of specificity in her reporting. She used only the word “decline” to talk about Biden. There’s a huge difference between physical decline and cognitive decline, but whether her sources in the WH were describing one r both forms was never clarified, so anyone listening was led to assume it was cognitive.
