Dems Must Not Let Media Make 2026/28 About Biden
Ron Filipkowski
CNNs Jake Tapper and Axioss Alex Thompson have a much-hyped book to sell and a Pulitzer to win.
Their friends across legacy media are willing and eager accomplices - because they have current and future books to sell too and it is a very incestuous and cynical business. The narcissistic, self-absorbed, and self-important DC chattering class think that Americans care in 2025 whether Joe Biden was fit to run for president in 2024. The only group of people who care about doing a deep dive into that subject right now is them, but they are determined to use their platforms to do their best to make others care.
The premise of the book is that Bidens cognitive abilities steeply declined throughout 2023-24 to the extent that he was unfit to run again, and senior members of his admin, big donors, members of Congress, and people in the media had inside knowledge of the decline and covered it up, and that resulted in his late withdrawal making it more difficult for Harris or another Democrat to defeat Trump.

What I have a problem with is three things: 1. Using their networks and platforms to promote and push the book 24/7 in 2025. 2. Other legacy media outlets breathlessly hyping and promoting the book as news. 3. The media now making this a central focus of their interviews of Democratic candidates running in the 2026 and 2028 elections.

While most in the MSM ignore the cognitive decline of the current Whitehouse occupant.

Correct. When a person or entity or political party makes a mistake, just admit and move on.
American's are very forgiving and a simple mea culpa makes a lot of problems go away.
