The leftist media has long played the role of loyal caretakers for President Biden, desperately trying to paint over the ever-growing cracks in his cognitive abilities. For years, during the frenetic days of the 2020 election, skepticism about Biden’s mental fitness was met with a barrage of denials and narratives painted by the liberal media—which insisted that Biden was as sharp as ever. However, the mask slipped dramatically on June 27, 2024, during a presidential debate when it became painfully obvious to all watching that Biden’s cognitive decline was no longer just a theory but a glaring reality. How fortunate that the media had an entire playbook ready to deflect responsibility once the imminent kerfuffle emerged.
As cognitive decline became an unavoidable truth, the leftist media turned tail and began cozying up to the emerging narrative of casting Biden aside. It’s as if they collectively decided that a president whose memory might be best described as “conveniently selective” was no longer marketable. In a spectacle that would make any drama queen proud, the same outlets that once labeled Biden a titan of intellect scrambled to bury him faster than one could say “Kamala to the front.” The game of musical chairs began, with Harris swiftly elevated to the role of heroine poised to rescue the party—anointing her the presumptive nominee as they failed to hide their glee.

This sudden shift raises a critical question: where were the voices of caution and concern when the implications of Biden’s cognitive decline first surfaced? The liberal media, in their fervent alliance with the Democratic Party, has proven time and again that their credibility is secondary to the party line. Notably missing was any serious reflection on whether a president incapable of handling basic tasks could genuinely steer the nation. The sudden interest in Biden’s deterioration was not born of genuine concern; it was an act of pure self-preservation, a quick attempt to rewrite their narrative before their complicity became too apparent.
The reaction wasn’t about bolstering democratic ideals but rather a frantic leap to salvage the “narrative” and the hopes of the left. The speed with which the media changed course screams desperation rather than accountability. Their cavalier treatment of Biden’s mental status reflects a pattern of behavior where narratives are twisted to fit the political agenda of the day. They happily paraded Biden as a capable candidate for years while ignoring the whispers around his mental fitness—only to flip the script now that the façade was shattered in front of millions.
With the spotlight shining brightly, it becomes glaringly obvious that the left-wing media values power over truth. They maneuver to uphold their commander-in-chief until he no longer serves their purpose. In their rush to distance themselves from Biden, they have further entrenched the idea that media integrity is nothing more than an idealistic mirage. The public may soon find themselves grappling with a reality where the narrative of “trust” in journalism is more farcical than ever, leaving many to wonder what else is being covered up for the sake of political expediency.
