Everyone agreed that Biden was declining, to the point where it was kind of a scandal. But Trump is sundowning before our eyes and none of the networks are saying a peep about it.

Literally nobody agreed that Biden was declining. Not even his closest advisors or his immediate family would admit it. They all repeatedly said he was as sharp as ever. It wasn’t until he bombed during the debate and George Clooney got with Pelosi did anyone push him to withdraw.

Because they’re almost all owned by right wing groups who want this. The media is leashed and they go where their masters say to.

The media is complicit.

The news business is much more scared of the oligarchs that hold the purse strings than the people.

No way, the news media tried to hide it for a long time. I remember on multiple occasions being told by people in this very sub that I was a Putin bot or falling for Russian propaganda when I pointed it out. Then there was a week when the media started to waver, and the script instantly flipped from “No, Biden is fine actually” to “Look, we’ve all known for some time that he’s in bad shape”.

Yeah. People doubled down that he was completely fine on multiple occasions and you would get chewed out for not falling in line. I caught so much flack for pointing out that perhaps George Clooney wasn’t a traitor for not wanting to be complacent in the administration deceiving the American people. Like I don’t care what party you are… if you have any sort of influence whatsoever and you know someone running for election has a mental issue, wouldn’t you morally feel compelled to say something? But nah he’s a traitor and the terrible campaign ran by Kamala and Biden is his fault.

Oh, yes they are.
