One of the biggest -- probably the biggest -- stories of 2024 is President Joe Biden's cognitive health, and the coverup by the media and White House to hide his condition.
And that's exactly what they did: covered it up. They can pretend to be exposing the truth now, but if those of us without j-school degrees knew Biden wasn't playing with a full deck back in 2020, the media have no excuse. They don't get to pretend to be vaunted heroes, but they're not.
The most egregious part of this is how they're going to shrug their shoulders and ask, 'How were we supposed to know?' as if asking hard questions and digging for answers isn't, you know, their job.
Here's Matt Yglesias, admitting he's, well, a terrible journalist and just an all-around not smart guy:
In which Matt Yglesias admits he was incapable of assessing and investigating Biden’s condition on his own and needed “insiders” to feed him talking points so he could function as a “journalist.”

What a thing to say out loud. pic.twitter.com/ZXPsI3VyAM
It really is a thing to say out loud.
Lol I guess all the videos of Biden mumbling incoherently and wandering off weren’t enough evidence for him? 😂

Apparently not.
We were just sharing “cheap fakes,” remember?

We remember.
What makes this so precious is that these people will basically concede they are retarded as long as it keeps them in good standing with the blob they live to serve. pic.twitter.com/Sv1wy2909j

There isn't an ethical standard or shred of dignity they won't nuke if it means helping Democrats and damaging Donald Trump.
When your excuses sound even worse than the truth...

The coverup is always worse than the original lie.

Anyone with eyes could tell, really.
Literally everyone experienced in dealing with elderly relatives suffering dementia knew what was going on, but these people couldn’t see it? Really?? https://t.co/3ZABK9wsgg

They're lying. They saw it.
They’re wrong again and again because all they’re capable of is laundering elite hive mind consensus.

They have no meaningful heuristics for reality testing and they provide no value added.

Also not wrong.

How embarrassing.

All of this.
We'd like to think Yglesias is ashamed, but he's not capable of feeling shame, as this statement proves.
