One of the biggest (probably the biggest) stories of 2024 is President Joe Biden’s cognitive health and the cover-up by the media and the White House to hide his condition.
and that is exactly What they did: they covered it up. They can pretend they’re exposing the truth now, but if those of us without college degrees knew Biden wasn’t going all-in in 2020, the media has no excuse. They cannot pretend to be vaunted heroes, but they are not.
The most egregious part of this is how they will shrug their shoulders and ask, ‘How were we supposed to know?’ as if asking difficult questions and searching for answers wasn’t, you know, his job.
Here’s Matt Yglesias, admitting that he’s, well, a horrible journalist and an all-around unintelligent guy:
In which Matt Yglesias admits that he was unable to evaluate and investigate Biden’s condition on his own and that he needed “insiders” to give him talking points in order to function as a “journalist.”
What a thing to say out loud. pic.twitter.com/ZXPsI3VyAM

It really is something that needs to be said out loud.
Hahaha, I guess all the videos of Biden mumbling incoherently and walking away weren’t enough evidence for him?

Apparently not.
We only shared “cheap fakes,” remember?

We remember it.
What makes this so valuable is that these people will basically admit that they are retarded as long as it keeps them up to date with the masses they live to serve. pic.twitter.com/Sv1wy2909j

There is no ethical standard or shred of dignity they won’t destroy if it means helping Democrats and hurting Donald Trump.
When your excuses sound even worse than the truth…

The cover-up is always worse than the real lie.

Anyone with eyes could see it, really.
Literally everyone with experience dealing with elderly family members with dementia knew what was going on, but these people couldn’t see it? Actually?? https://t.co/3ZABK9wsgg

They are lying. They saw it.
They get it wrong again and again because all they are able to do is whitewash the consensus of the elite hive mind.
They have no meaningful heuristics to test reality and do not provide any added value.

It’s not bad either.

How embarrassing.
“I thought the emperor was going to prove his skeptics wrong by showing off his wonderful clothes.

All this.
We would like to think that Yglesias is ashamed, but he is not capable of feeling shame, as this statement demonstrates.
