A week after Joe Biden seemed lost and confused during CNN’s presidential debate, liberal journalists continue to freak out about the President’s poor performance. Yet just four months earlier, many of those same journalists vilified then-Special Counsel Robert Hur for honestly reporting that the decision not to pursue charges against Biden for willfully mishandling classified documents was because a jury would likely find Biden a “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.”
Looking back at the coverage from just four short months ago, it’s clear partisan elements of the press had no interest (then) in an honest evaluation of the President’s capabilities. Maybe they thought they were helping a “well-meaning, elderly” Democratic President sneak through one last election without voters noticing how significantly diminished he had become.
But it turns out that denying the truth about the President wasn’t a favor to Biden, to Democrats, or to the country. The media’s nasty rejection of Hur back in February merely delayed the inevitable until Joe Biden’s problems became too obvious to ignore.
