Media Faces Backlash Over Handling of Biden's Cognitive Decline
Journalists admit failing to scrutinize President Biden's mental fitness during his presidency and 2024 campaign, raising questions about media accountability.
- CBS News' Jan Crawford called President Biden's cognitive decline the most underreported story of 2024, citing his performance in the June debate with Donald Trump as a turning point.
- The Wall Street Journal and other outlets reported that Biden's advisers tightly controlled his interactions and shielded his limitations throughout his presidency.
- Biden withdrew from the presidential race in July after mounting pressure from Democrats following his widely criticized debate performance.
- Some journalists and media figures have admitted to underestimating or ignoring signs of Biden's decline, with several expressing regret over their coverage decisions.
- Critics argue that the media's failure to report on Biden's condition earlier may have significantly impacted the 2024 election and public trust in journalism.
