I am curious to see who believes the media is just now figuring out that Biden's mental health has declined. Feel free to debate and discuss the topic as well.
Not sure about mental health, but effects of old age maybe. Not sure about media, but likely the WH & his handlers. regardless, as I have clearly stated on here before, Biden & his crew are selfish assholes for running again. This is important shit & we have a deranged NFT salesman vs. Droolio.
I'm with doc. MH is a misnomer. Biden pretty much crushed today at the NC rally. Weird how weak he was last night. Must not have been any drug testing before/after today's rally .
reading the great Mark Lanegan bio, so I am not sure that constant injections of cocaine & b vitamins is the ans
Probably no absolute answer, but I voted yes because my guess is some certainly did. But I tend to believe most of the blame is on his handlers. But of course some of them likely did. By the way, Kudos to Anderson Cooper for calling it out last night btw. He had Kamala on the ropes.
I voted yes, but I’m not sure if it’s the media actively covering it up themselves or just being willing to unquestionably accept all the Biden surrogates swearing up and down that you should pay no attention to him doing weird stuff in public because he’s supposedly active, aware, and sharp as a tack behind closed doors.
I would say no, because it’s something that might not manifest itself outside of that type of situation. I’m sure they can see him struggling sometimes with the public speaking, which is why he doesn’t do many interviews. But that isn’t exactly secret. In casual situations I’m guessing he might not have raised such alarm bells even to his close advisors. But I’d bet there was some “oh shit” while they were doing debate prep (either that or they were incompetent or too casual about how he would come off).
If so, then how do explain the times he hasn't looked like a nursing home patient. e.g, state of the union or his speech in NC today?
Something poignant about the subject matter at hand and a reference to the author/singer of an album titled Sweet Oblivion...
Yes, the media and his handlers covered for an incompetent president until it became too obvious to hide.
For clarification, are you asserting that the President is not demonstrating signs of dementia brought on by advanced age or that such dementia does not fall into the category of mental health?
I'm not going to read the rest of the thread. If there are people here actually attempting to debate they didn't cover for him, I don't want to spend my valuable free time arguing with those people. I assume we're talking about the same "media" who are paid tens of thousands of dollars (in many cases more) to observe the POTUS and they didn't know what we amateurs who don't have any access have known for years? What's your next thread going to be? "Did OJ really do it?" Forgive me for the sarcasm, but anybody who thinks the media didn't know about this is choosing to be lied to.
Read the thread. But read it more along the lines of reading a psychological observational study. I am genuinely interested if this has caused any kind of damage to people's trust in the main stream media. If there ever was a watershed moment to show the lengths they might go to run interference for a political party and a political candidate then this is it.
