Here's a Short Recap of Several Years' Worth of Media Spinning Questions About Joe Biden's Acuity

After a few years of being told that reports and videos showing then President Biden's mental decline were nothing but "right-wing propaganda" and "cheap fakes," some of the same journos who helped the Dems with that spin are now writing books about how bad things really were at the White House.

One of the stories in a new book from Axios' Alex Thompson and CNN's Jake Tapper is that Biden didn't even recognize George Clooney at a 2024 fundraiser, which culminated in the actor publishing a "Joe shouldn't run for reelection" story in the New York Times.
