Chuck Todd, the living fossil of mainstream media, has emerged from his cave to share a revelation that could put even the most dramatic daytime soap operas to shame. His confession? He actively participated in downplaying President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline—all in the name of safeguarding the sacred image of the Democrat Party and preventing Donald Trump from taking the reins again. The twist in this plot, however, is that Todd doesn’t seem to grasp how guilty he truly is.
The ex-NBC News anchor, who opted for a graceful exit from the network after refusing a pay cut, had apparently been playing a game of media charades with the public. He recently admitted during an interview with Piers Morgan that his network’s coverage of Biden was deliberately vague. His rationalization was, in essence, that if nobody explicitly called out Biden’s gaffes, then the American people could come to their own conclusions. It’s like a child hiding a toy in plain sight because they think nobody will notice. Spoiler alert: Everyone notices.
Todd tried to take credit for the astuteness of the American public, implying that they figured out Biden was using the back staircase instead of the front because the media was oh-so-subtle about it. Was Todd under the illusion that his “subtle” hints were strong enough to keep the American public from knowing that their leader was frazzled? The reality is that Todd and his fellow media minions went to great lengths not to rock the boat, all while playing coy with their coverage. One has to wonder if the mansion Todd resided in came equipped with a bubble to help insulate him from real-world repercussions.

This whole charade was more than just lazy journalism; it was a dangerous game that jeopardized the public’s right to know. Todd’s self-congratulatory insistence on maintaining neutrality is akin to a referee in a baseball game deciding to ignore blatant strikes just to keep the score level. The mainstream media, including Todd’s NBC, had an obligation to inform the electorate that their president was not just allegedly unfit for office but actually teetering on the brink of serious incapacity.
A decade from now, when future generations look back and question why Americans ever trusted mainstream media, they might just point to Todd’s unapologetic antics as a prime example. The media machine has cozied up with Democratic power players for decades, and Todd was merely a pawn in this rigged game. What can be garnered from his reflection is that the mainstream media were complicit in treating Biden like a cardboard cutout, all while knowing how much the stakes involved impact the American people.
As the dust settles on this little confession, it becomes abundantly clear: Todd isn’t equipped to hold a mirror to public perception; he’s more comfortable dusting off old relics—like fair and unbiased reporting. The public deserved the truth, and Chuck Todd owed it to them. Instead, he chose to play the role of a well-compensated gatekeeper, shielding the electorate from the full picture. The only question left is how long the mainstream media will dodge their responsibilities before it becomes too late to fix their shattered credibility.
