Brian Williams Criticizes Media for Downplaying Biden's Struggles

The former NBC anchor accuses journalists of failing to accurately portray President Biden's perceived cognitive decline during his presidency.

Brian Williams, former NBC News anchor, criticized journalists for using 'lazy and numbing' language in their coverage of President Joe Biden's mental fitness.
Williams highlighted Biden's performance in his final debate as an example, describing the president as 'visibly struggling and diminished.'
He argued that media coverage often failed to align with what audiences could observe for themselves, calling it a disservice to the public.
Williams connected Biden's perceived decline to the Democratic Party's poor performance in the 2024 elections, suggesting Biden stayed in office too long.
The criticism comes as part of a broader discussion among journalists about how to approach covering President-elect Donald Trump's second term.
