Misleading.
The White House media landscape has come under fire for its glaring failure to hold President Biden accountable for his cognitive decline, as laid bare in a stunning exposé by The Wall Street Journal.
In its four-byline investigation, the publication revealed that Biden's staff actively concealed his mental infirmities from the public.
Despite this revelation—a matter of national interest—there was a noticeable silence during recent White House press briefings, with reporters seemingly reluctant to question White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about the implications of this dereliction of duty.
Radio host Hugh Hewitt, who has been vocal about Biden's condition for two years, criticized both the media and the White House for their complicity in maintaining the facade.
He suggested that if reporters were part of the Biden administration's obfuscation efforts, they should not be allowed in the press room at all.
It is hard not to draw contrasts between the current press climate under Biden and the atmosphere when Donald Trump occupied the Oval Office.
When Trump was president, the briefing room was often a fervent arena for rigorous questioning. Today, it resembles a subdued environment where uncomfortable truths are ignored.
Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy pointed out the glaring absence of inquiries about Biden's acknowledged issues, calling out the media for its failure to demand accountability.
Bethany Mandel, a regular commentator, lamented the lack of critical coverage and accountability within the mainstream press, which seems more intent on preserving the narrative than pursuing the truth.
This ongoing silence raises serious questions about the integrity of the press and its commitment to informing the public.
As Biden’s presidency continues, one wonders whether media bias will ever allow for a candid conversation about the leader's capabilities—if so, only in a safe space where the lowest common denominator dictates the narrative.
For many Americans concerned about the direction of the country, these revelations reinforce the urgent need for transparency and accountability in Washington.
While Trump remains a likely figure to rally against a backdrop of media manipulation, the question persists: will journalists finally step up and do their duty to the people?
