An op-ed published in July detailed why one Washington Post columnist believes that left-wing media bias is to blame for ignoring President Joe Biden’s mental decline.
“The White House made it hard to get that context; staff rarely leaked, and anyway, few people outside Biden’s inner circle saw him enough to form a complete picture of his condition. The inner circle, meanwhile, is dominated by people who have been with the president for years,” McArdle wrote of the Biden administration’s scramble to deflect journalists from questioning the president’s strange behaviors. “A few phenomenally dogged reporters persisted anyway. But they weren’t rewarded for it because there seemed to be no audience for coverage of Biden. Articles languished unread, and Biden books weren’t selling.” (TAKE A POLL: Is the Current Tax System Fair?)

She went on to argue that there were always more Democratic reporters than Republican in the press briefing room at the White House, which contributed to the bias in favor of Biden’s ability to do his job. “And when journalists did cover the issue, many outlets that had been pitilessly clear about Trump’s defects apparently couldn’t bring themselves to be quite so blunt about a president they liked — in part because that would make their friends mad, as well as the White House,” she continued.

“A lot of articles about Biden’s age ended up so couched in ethereally vague language about ‘questions’ and ‘concerns,’ so defensively swaddled in equivocal context that the necessary SOS didn’t get through.”
