The public’s growing awareness of President Biden’s cognitive decline has forced the media apparatus that propelled him to power into a difficult position. For years, the liberal media, known for their disdain for the American public’s way of life, consistently downplayed or ignored these concerns, claiming Biden was fully competent. However, the truth is now undeniable, particularly after the presidential debate and ABC News interview, both of which showcased his incapacity. This shift has prompted a new genre of media commentary centered on their own complicity in misleading the public. Their current outrage is not directed at Biden’s team for misleading them, but rather at the exposure of their own partisan bias. The media’s calculated silence on Biden’s shortcomings has allowed Americans to see through their facade and recognize their true nature. This shift exposes a deeper problem: the media’s desire to control the political narrative. Their initial support for Biden was part of a larger strategy to prevent Donald Trump’s return to office. Now faced with the prospect of unseating two presidents simultaneously, the media is resorting to aggressive tactics against Biden, a strategy reminiscent of their relentless attacks on his predecessor. Throughout history, the media has played a significant role in shaping and breaking presidencies. They were instrumental in concluding the Johnson years, driving Nixon from office, and denying George H.W. Bush a second term. However, they were unable to break Trump, who never allowed their opinions to influence him. This current situation highlights the media’s insatiable thirst for power and control. Their goal is not to hold the president accountable to the American people but rather to dictate the political landscape. This erosion of the traditional role of the press, a crucial element of our constitutional order, is deeply concerning. The media, originally meant to serve as a watchdog for the government, has become an active player in the political arena, seeking to influence and manipulate public opinion. This departure from the principles of a free press is a threat to our democracy, and restoring the media’s integrity is crucial to our nation’s future. The path forward requires a return to the principles of a free and independent press, one that prioritizes accountability and truth over partisan agendas. This restoration is vital to ensure a government truly answerable to the American people and not beholden to the whims of a biased media.
