The Washington Post appears to be undergoing a remarkable transformation, much like a caterpillar reluctantly deciding it’s time to emerge as a moth instead of a butterfly. Once a steadfast cheerleader for the Biden administration, the paper is now printing pieces that suggest perhaps the golden days of Joe Biden’s presidency are nothing more than a distant memory, if they ever truly existed.
The editorial board recently released an opinion piece suggesting that while everyone was rooting for Biden, it may have been a colossal mistake for the 81-year-old to seek re-election. This admission brings about an odd chuckle. The article, titled “Biden’s crowning moment came before his Monday speech,” tried to maintain an air of positivity while subtly acknowledging that, on the off chance that he had been up against any competition, he likely wouldn’t be winning the gold medal in leadership. Apparently, the paper feels the president’s “altruism” deserves a shout-out despite mounting evidence of him being, shall we say, less than perky these days.
IMO, the MSM also worked to conceal Biden’s decline.

Diving beneath the shiny surface of praise, one can find a multitude of buried truths. The editorial suggested that Biden’s inner circle was busy putting on a happy face and spinning tales to obscure his noticeable decline. It’s as if they were organizing an elaborate magic show, where the great magician is merely waving a wand in an attempt to disguise the fact that, lo and behold, he’d lost his rabbit. The WaPo even went as far as to imply that had Biden listened to his better judgment back in 2020 and kept his promise to be a temporary placeholder, the nation’s future would have shined a tad brighter.
Strangely, this newfound willingness to critique the Democrat establishment stands in stark contrast to the paper’s historical flailing on issues involving Joe Biden and his cadre. Only last week, Kamala Harris was put under the editorial microscope for her wildly misguided proposal on price controls, which has all the charm of a proposal penned by a B-list politician from a dystopian novel. The juxtaposition of harsh critiques of Harris portrayed her as the embodiment of the party’s confounding decisions while also indicating a growing willingness to hold accountability in a party that seemingly thrives on glitter and empty promises.
However, perhaps the most entertaining mystery is whether The Washington Post is simply playing coy—hoping upon hope for a Trump comeback. The irony of the anti-Trump outlet potentially yearning for the days of his presidency is enough to cause a solid belly laugh. If Trump’s escapades provided the newspaper with a gold mine of material to criticize, then who wouldn’t want to hand that juicy indulgence back to them?
Creative conjecture aside, the message remains clear: The Biden administration’s fairy tale seems to be unraveling thread by thread, leading even the most devoted of left-leaning outlets to reconsider their unwavering support. Whether this humbling is a sign of worry for the Democrats or just a series of unfortunate events remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain: it’s always a good day when a liberal media powerhouse begins to look beyond rose-colored glasses.
