Members of the established media in recent weeks defended President Joe Biden’s “poor” memory by claiming the president’s health is “acute” and that any speculation to the contrary is “ageist” and a “right wing media” conspiracy theory.
The media’s defense is the latest effort to support Biden, who is trailing in national 2024 polling to former President Donald Trump.
The media apparently felt compelled to defend Biden before and after special counsel Robert Hur described the president as an “elderly man with a poor memory” in his report on Biden’s classified document scandal:
- Hur described Biden as not competent to stand trial for taking classified documents.
- Hur said Biden could not remember simple facts about his life, such as when he was vice president or when his son Beau died.
NewsBusters, an organization dedicated to “exposing and combating liberal media bias,” recently posted a video on X highlighting how media “spent years gaslighting the public about Joe Biden’s mental acuity”:
It is over and over we hear it’s his age I have friends who are 95,98,100 who are sharper than Biden it is NO COGNATIVE ability that is the problem he refused the test in 2020 and he will refuse again. Trump took it & passed & says he will do so again.
