I wonder if more people will see how the Press from NBC, CBS etc helped cover up the dementia of Biden, and if more people will hold the press accountable?
The most important thing for the United States to Continue is an honest press corps that will hold all politicians accountable, not just the one side enacting policies you agree with.

If you mean democrats, no. They don’t care. They hate America and what it stands for. They want it fundamentally changed into a gulag.
Republicans already understand. We don’t have a press we have propaganda. For everyone else, if they haven’t figured it out by now, they’re too stupid to figure it out

When the founding fathers scripted the first Amendment, guaranteeing freedom of the press, they never envisioned a press that was sold out to one political party.
That’s how totalitarian Governments do it. “Pravda” translates to “Truth” in Russian. Nothing could have been further from “The Truth”.
Our Main Stream Media is nothing more than a Westernized version of Pravda.
As a side note, how many of you are old enough to remember Chairman Mao in his elder years as absolute dictator of Communist China. When he was in such a condition he could barely walk or speak, the Chinese Communist Press published pictures of him swimming across the Yangtze River. Of course, the Chinese People had to believe it.
After all, their Great Leader would never deceive them.

Jesus you demented fucks don't have a clue. Only like 5% of people that age have any type of dementia. It does go up over 80 gradually. It is pretty rare still. You don't automatically get dementia at age 80. I'll take the whole biden administration (or handlers like the magats call them) over trumps stupidity any day.

"Rick, I am shocked, shocked to find that there is gamboling in that room!"
The mainstream press haas ignored President Biden's cognitive and physical deuteration Since his election. In the run up to the campaign in 2018, they called his behavior "gaffs". While "campaigning" in 2019 during the pandemic, he stayed locked down and bunkered up in his Delaware basement to avoid exposure . . .and direct contact with the press..D..AND THEY LET HIM GET AWAY WITH IT. Since becoming president, the press has covered it up, swept it under the carpet aand otherwise been complicit with the behind the scenes handlers at the White House to keep his condition away from the general public.
What really floored me the other day was to hear interviews with bob Woodward and Carl Burnstein who both were "shocked" to learn of Mr. Biden's fraility. These guys were the poster boys for investigative journalism in the Watergate era of the 1970S . . .WHERE HAVE YOU TWO BEEN?

Before 2008, the legacy media — while always leaning to the political left — had maintained a patina of objectivity. When Bill Clinton lied to the American people about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, they belatedly pounced. When John Kerry’s campaign began to crater, they reluctantly covered it. They were, to be sure, oriented against Republican candidates and policies. But they recognized that their credibility innately relied on the public’s perception that they could put their own biases aside long enough to report accurately even on those with whom they agreed.
Public trust in the media had been in a steady state of decline since the late 1990s — according to Gallup, 53 percent of Americans said they had a great deal or fair amount of trust in the media in 1997; in 2007, that number was 47 percent.
Then came Barack Obama. In 2008, the media, in its insistence that Barack Obama was a philosopher-king, decided to adhere to his version of the facts at every available instance. They ignored or downplayed stories that hurt Obama. They insisted that his biggest scandal was the wearing of a beige suit. Obama was simply too godlike a figure for them to resist. They became, for all intents and purposes, extensions of the Democratic White House. And public trust began to crater. In 2008, those who trusted the media dropped to 43 percent. In 2016, with the media’s abominable coverage of the Trump-Hillary race, the number dropped to 32 percent. It recovered slightly over the next five, but then began cratering again: to just 36 percent in 2021, 34 percent in 2022, 32 percent in 2023.
A consistent pattern of partisan coverage ate away at the media’s credibility, slowly and steadily.
Then came Joe Biden’s debate collapse last week. And now, all media credibility is gone.
Ernest Hemingway once described the process of going bankrupt: “Gradually, then suddenly.” The same is true of legacy media legitimacy. Legacy media lost the trust of the American people with its coverage of Russiagate, Black Lives Matter, Covid, transgenderism and the Hunter Biden laptop story. But they maintained some semblance of credibility by appealing to “new studies,” the “fog of war,” the difficulty of reporting an ever-evolving set of facts. When their lies were debunked and they were exposed they could simply claim they were just reporting based on the information they had at the time. They were just doing the hard work of Journalisming™ — just trusting the experts, who always slanted their political direction — and could continue congratulating each other for their brave and important work. Then came the Biden presidency.
Either Biden is senile or he is not. And it does not take an expert in Russian relations, systemic racism or Covid biology to tell the answer to that question. Any child could do it.

More hypocrisy from the right wing republicans. The media in this country is politically divided just like the electorate. At least the left leaning media doesn’t lie so blatantly that they get sued and are forced to settle for three quarters of a billion dollars.
