Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson blasted journalists in Washington, D.C. for failing to “hold power accountable” — and participating in a “massive cover-up” with the White House to shield President Biden’s “decline.”
“It is our duty to poke through White House smoke screens and find out the truth,” Abramson told Semafor.
“The Biden White House clearly succeeded in a massive cover-up of the degree of the President’s feebleness and his serious physical decline, which may be simply the result of old age.
“Shame on the White House press corps for not to have [sic] pierced the veil of secrecy surrounding the President,” she continued, while conceding that it would be “a super hard story” to land with solid Democratic sourcing.
Her criticism is baloney, not because it’s inaccurate but because NYT would have reported and editorialized exactly the same if she were still employed there. Where is her track record since departing of criticizing the White House PR strategy? The word has gone out that Brandon’s now fair game for a bit of honest reporting so she pops up to wiggle some relevancy.
Oh please! Everyone knew this, and I mean everyone. It just wasn’t as blatantly exposed until the debate. Now, every democrat alive is saying they never saw it coming. Give us a break – time to just take the loss and start over. Wait, the dems can’t do that because as soon as they do, Trump will start cleaning house. Ooppssssss – maybe they should have played by the rules.
