As you probably know, President Biden had a rather awkward moment while delivering remarks yesterday:
Joe Biden asks around the audience to point out "Jackie" during a conference on hunger, nutrition, and health.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre then was forced to get super creative when attempting to spin what had happened, and she just kept on digging from there.
Fortunately for the Biden White House they have a mostly dutiful media on their side that will often be more than happy to keep any embarrassments under wraps. The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway spotted more evidence of the media ignoring yet another story:
Our propaganda press is doing everything in its power to cover up an important story the American public has a right to know about Joe Biden's demonstrated mental decline. https://t.co/7u1l0A0ahg

As usual, evidence of media bias can just as often be found in what they choose not to report:
NEW: President Biden's ‘Where’s Jackie?’ gaffe has gone unmentioned by CNN, MSNBC and ABC/CBS/NBC newscasts despite the uproar that occurred at yesterday's WH press briefing. https://t.co/yBaBK8HTmr

Wow, having that “D” after your name as a president comes with some media favors:

Several reporters, including ABC News’ Cecilia Vega, CNN’s Phil Mattingly and CBS News’ Steven Portnoy, grilled Jean-Pierre on her non-answers.
However, the networks they work for largely avoided airtime on the bizarre gaffe.
NewsBusters analyst Kevin Tober noticed that none of the three evening broadcasts, ABC’s “World News Tonight,” “CBS Evening News” nor “NBC Nightly News,” made any mention of Biden’s remarks.
“All three evening newscasts ignored the latest gaffe from our apparently senile President,” Tober wrote. “The terrible combination of Joe Biden’s almost daily gaffes and Karine Jean-Pierre’s stunning inability to put together a coherent sentence makes it obvious why the leftist news networks have no interest in covering the administration’s never-ending list of incompetence and failures.”
ABC News and NBC News did manage to cover the story on their websites after failing to mention it on their evening newscasts.
If Trump had done that you can be 100 percent positive that it would have been not only mentioned on nightly newscasts, but the media would have convened roundtables for intense discussions about it being time to invoke the 25th Amendment.
