Looking back, the extent of the media's manipulation during the Joe Biden presidency becomes painfully clear. A recent in-depth analysis reveals a pattern of obfuscation and outright lies, particularly concerning the Hunter Biden laptop scandal and the President's cognitive abilities. It's a story of journalistic malpractice that deserves our attention and condemnation.

The saga began with the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story. Journalists like Marc Caputo, then at Politico, had their reporting on the laptop's contents quashed by editors without explanation. The reason, though unstated, was obvious: protecting Biden's candidacy against potentially damaging information. This wasn't an isolated incident. Prominent figures at CNN, NPR, and other major news outlets also buried the story, prioritizing political expediency over journalistic integrity.

Even more egregious was the media's concerted effort to conceal Biden's evident cognitive decline. Major news organizations actively dismissed concerns about his mental acuity, attributing them to misinformation and “cheap fakes.” They even went so far as to suggest that focusing on Biden's age was somehow aiding Donald Trump. This deliberate downplaying of a critical issue affecting the nation's leadership is a profound betrayal of the public trust.

Now, some journalists offer weak justifications for their actions. They claim unconscious bias or the difficulty of addressing age-related issues. These excuses are not only unconvincing but also insulting. They demonstrate a complete lack of accountability and a continued unwillingness to acknowledge the gravity of their deception. The media's complicity in concealing Biden's decline represents a historic journalistic failure. Those responsible should be held accountable, and the industry must take steps to prevent such blatant manipulation in the future.
