For years we were gaslit about President Biden and told not to believe our lying eyes and ears, and it was a relentless effort from the corporate media at @tomselliott demonstrated in June of last year:
SUPERCUT!

Then the debate happened and you know what happened after that.
Now of course there are books to be sold, so "journalists" like Jake Tapper have been forced to admit that "conservative media" was right about Joe Biden and it wasn't "misinformation" or "cheap fakes":

The issue isn't so much that "conservative media" was right, it's that the liberal media worked in coordination with the Democrats to cover up Biden's cognitive decline.
The Washington Post was among media outlets that started the effort early.
This is from October of 2020, more than three months before Biden took office:

That was around the same time we were being told that stories about Hunter Biden's laptop and its contents were part of a Russian misinformation campaign.
Last June, when Biden still had the intention of running for reelection, the Post was still at it:

Well, the stories about Biden's condition, not to mention his son's laptop, were real. So what do you do next if you're the Washington Post editorial board? Say that voters should have been more informed:
The Washington Post, whose motto is Democracy Dies in Darkness, and employs hundreds of people in the DC area to cover politicians, says someone should have told voters Joe Biden couldn’t do the job. Gee, wonder who that could have been in the media? pic.twitter.com/gneinx4fbP

Saying voters should have been more informed is rich coming from one of the outlets whose job was to inform voters, but they didn't seem very interested in doing that.

That meme has been working overtime this month and it's never been more fitting.
