They Know

Though we've gotten a smattering of reports over the course of Joe Biden's presidency on persistent questions about his age and mental acuity, his tendency to wander off script - and offstage, the mainstream media have not treated the subject with the seriousness it deserves, oftentimes framing the allegations as either "insensitive" or using the "Republicans say" tactic as a way around examining the deeper issues at play.

The idea behind that media (and White House) strategy, of course, is to downplay the very real concerns that a sizable majority of the American people have repeatedly indicated they have about our octogenarian president, especially going into a presidential election year, and with so much going on in the world.

But with the release of the Hur report, where Biden escaped a possible federal indictment but not a far more damning personal indictment in the court of public opinion on his well-known memory issues, this is not something Biden's diehard apologists in the press can simply sweep under the rug as merely a "Republicans say" thing anymore.

In other words, questions surrounding Biden's age and memory problems have been given an air of legitimacy by the special counsel who was appointed by Biden's own Attorney General, to the point that media outlets have no choice but to question the Biden White House directly on it now:

After ignoring Biden’s cognitive decline for years, it has now become an issue.

To be fair, I believe the dam first broke on this issue as far as the media was concerned back in September 2022, after an obviously confused Biden bizarrely called out for Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) during a White House event, even though Walorski had tragically died about a month-and-a-half prior in a car accident along with two staffers.

The Biden White House was questioned on the incident for several days after, which they responded to by using their predictable avoidance tactics.

I said at the time that we seemed to be in the midst of a major sea-change on the issue, that the self-imposed media moratorium on questioning Biden’s mental health and state of mind appeared to be officially over. Because the incident with him calling out for Walorski was just too concerning, too eye-opening even for those in the press who had previously operated from the “insensitive” perspective on questions that had previously been raised.

But as time went on, things of course got back to business as usual between the press and Biden, with few to no questions about situations where Biden was clearly lost and out of it being asked.

Now, though, armed with the Hur report and the public's knowledge of what was said in it, any "holdout" reporters - those who had been reluctant to bring the issue up before for whatever reason - have no choice but to raise it now.

The circumstances, with it being a presidential election year, the public being curious about it, and with so much at stake, make it impossible to ignore. And unlike before, I don't think the issue will fade away in a few days. Supposedly credible excuses for why the MSM treated the issue with kid gloves shouldn't be accepted anymore because, undeniably, they know now.

They know.
