Nobody will ever accuse The New York Times of hiding its left-wing bias. And although the Wall Street Journal is much less leftist, it isn’t exactly a mainline conservative paper either.
Nevertheless, both papers are relative titans of their collective industry, and their word still carries gravitas with swathes of moderates and left-leaning readers.
Much to the president’s chagrin, over the past few days, both papers’ editorial boards levied the exact same criticism against Joe Biden: he is too old to be president.
Considering the fact that neither paper is known for taking consistent, hardcore conservative stances, it’s shocking to see either criticize the president — let alone both of them.
It goes to show that, at this point, Biden’s age and apparent cognitive decline are too evident to ignore, even for moderate and liberal news publications.
The Journal’s op-ed was penned on Friday. It didn’t exactly hold back in its criticism of the president.
“The public understands what Mr. Biden apparently won’t admit: that electing an octogenarian in obvious decline for another four years could be an historic mistake,” the Friday editorial read.
