The news media is finally doing real reporting and asking tough questions. Yesterday White House correspondents repeatedly questioned Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about why a Parkinson’s expert has visited the White House so many times, leading to a heated exchange. After ignoring President Joe Biden’s clear signs of cognitive decline, these outlets now appear to be engaging in honest journalism. It all shows that the media is still capable of doing its job — holding the most powerful man in the world to account — when it wants to.

But the media’s overnight reversal on Biden also exposes its cover-up of Biden’s decline over the last four years. The media’s newfound interest in Biden’s health, and the skill with which they are examining it now, exposes its complicity in a massive deception. His decline was already visible in 2020. Anyone who has watched the compilations of videos from the last few years can see for themselves that Biden has been losing his ability to move, speak, and think.
