Showing Original Post only (View all)Jan Crawford/CBS: Biden's cognitive decline was the most underreported story of 2024 [View all]
From Face the Nation yesterday:
MAJOR GARRETT: One of the things we also do in the year-end correspondents roundtable is dig into what was undercovered or underreported. Jan?
JAN CRAWFORD: Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate.
MAJOR GARRETT: At the presidential debate with Donald Trump.
JAN CRAWFORD: Unquestioned. And it's starting to emerge now that his advisers kind of managed his limitations, which has been reported in "The Wall Street Journal," for four years. And yet he insisted that he could still run for president. We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats.
It could have changed the scope of the entire election. Yet still, incredibly, we read in "The Washington Post" that his advisers are saying that he regrets that he dropped out of the race, that he thinks he could have beaten Trump. And I think that is either delusional or they're gaslighting the American people.

Who could ever forget the late, not lamented Bob Bartley and his insane rants on the editorial page?
