Shielding Biden: Journalists shed light on the media's cover-up of a weakened president
Opinion by Joseph Wulfsohn • 16h

The unprecedented cover-up of Joe Biden is finally seeing sunlight.


Critics of the legacy media have long accused news organizations of shielding the 46th president from bad press, particularly when it came to revelations of his family's shady financial dealings as well as his cognitive decline, which was put on full display at last year's CNN debate resulting in his exit from the 2024 presidential race.
 
Efforts to cover up for Biden began as early as May 2019 as the primary race for the 2020 Democratic nomination was underway. Last week, former Politico reporter Marc Caputo shed light on a report he had written at the time that stemmed from opposition research from the campaign by one of Biden's Democratic rivals. The report involved a "tax lien" on Biden's son Hunter pertaining to his work at Ukrainian energy company Burisma. At the time, the former vice president held a substantial lead over Democratic candidates in the polls.

"And I wrote what would have been a classic story saying, you know, ‘The former vice president’s son was slapped with a big tax lien for the period of time that he worked for this controversial Ukrainian oil concern, or natural gas concern, which is haunting his father on the campaign trail.' That story was killed by the editors. And they gave no explanation for that either," Caputo said on the "Somebody's Gotta Win" podcast.

Blaming the media, bad as they are, is not justified.  I readily determined in 2020 that Biden was senile.  And NO!  I am not a physician, but I readily made that diagnosis without the credentials.

The UGLY TRUTH is that the Democommies fixed the 2020 election.  Not a single doubt in my mind.  Biden did not win that election, it was handed to him.

But I do blame every person that voted for Biden, who was fully capable of seeing what I saw and chose to ignore the TRUTH.  Biden was not a capable senator for all the years he was senator.  Delaware voting for this fool repeatedly says a lot about the intelligence of the folks that live in that state.

Intelligence?

Intelligence?

Sometimes the only thing people care about is the party affiliation, or the ability of the person to bring the gravy home.

Agreed.

Here's a tip:  Instead of the word 'media', substitute the term 'propaganda arm of the Democrat Party'.

There was a Rep from WNY years ago by the name of Henry Nowak IIRC. He had a couple skeletons in his closet, nothing serious, but he brought home the bacon to WNY at least once a term nd that is why the people voted for him.

You'd have to be deaf, blind and dumb (not dumb/mute - just stupid) not to have perceived Biden was cognitively impaired at least as early as 2020. This is when he was telling Corn Pop stories and "campaigning" from his basement. C'mon, man, you know the thing! While it's true the snooze media tried to cover for him, the fact remains that citizens should have opened their eyes to what was going on. Unfortunately, too few bother to pay attention.

Biden was their guy. They, and their liberal biases, conspired to hide the truth from the American People.

To get access to Dem officials for their talking head shows, the MSM had to 'play ball'.

And it didn't start with Biden. It's been going on for a long time.
