Opinion: Was the Trump-Biden debate a "cheap fake" too?
[ U.S Politics] President Joe Biden's performance in the first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle was viewed by some as a complete disaster.
Throughout the debate, Biden appeared tired and struggled to articulate his thoughts, often stumbling over his words and failing to provide clear and concise answers to the questions posed by the moderators.
Throughout his presidency, there have been numerous instances where Biden has appeared confused, disoriented, and unable to articulate his thoughts coherently.
From his difficulty in forming coherent sentences to his frequent memory lapses, it appears evident that Biden is not the sharp and decisive leader that his allies and the media portrayed him to be.
It is time for all of them to take responsibility for their role in this deception.
In recent months, a series of videos emerged that appear to show President Joe Biden exhibiting signs of cognitive decline. However, the mainstream media had been quick to label these videos as "cheap fakes," suggesting that they had been manipulated or taken out of context to create a false narrative about Biden's mental fitness.
Opinion: For far too long some in the mainstream media have been viewed as complicit in covering up or downplaying the signs of Biden's cognitive decline. It is time for a reckoning, where the media must face the consequences for deceiving the public about Biden's mental acuity.
From downplaying his cognitive decline to ignoring his numerous gaffes and missteps, some political pundits in media have seemingly gone out of their way to protect the President and promote a positive image of his administration.
The media must put aside any political biases and report the truth, even if it is uncomfortable or inconvenient.
It is time for political operatives in the media to face the consequences of their deception. The media's reckoning for deceiving the public about Biden's cognitive ability is long overdue.
The recent debate has exposed the truth about Biden's mental acuity. Biden’s performance is cause for concern whether the incumbent is capable of effectively leading the nation for the rest of his current term and perhaps another.
