This is nothing I haven’t already written about…
…but Josh Hammer, Senior Editor-at-large for Newsweek, has written his take on the the June 27th massacre debate, and how it demonstrates the level of media dishonesty we have been treated to throughout the Biden presidency, so well that it deserves your attention.
Here is the key section:
…after last Thursday’s CNN presidential debate in Atlanta, in which President Joe Biden delivered a catastrophic performance for the ages, there is only one conclusion: The yearslong effort by Biden administration flunkies, Democratic Party poohbahs and pro-Regime media stenographers to forcefully deny Biden’s obvious physical and mental decline will go down as the single greatest lie in American history.
And what an assiduous effort it was. For years, Democrats and the corporate media lied through their teeth about the blatant decline of the president’s physical and mental faculties.
When Biden fell off a stationary bicycle in 2022, handlers brushed it off as no big deal. When Biden started wearing funny-looking tennis sneakers instead of dress shoes, presumably in order to stabilize his gait and prevent debilitating falls, aides informed us that Biden was just embracing a certain sartorial savviness.
When former Special Counsel Robert Hur declined to pursue charges against Biden due to the fact he “would likely present himself to a jury … as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” media apparatchiks denounced Hur as a “Trump plant” in the Justice Department. (Where is Hur’s apology?)
After multiple videos emerged of Biden freezing, staring and wandering off, The New York Times called them “misleading”; the Biden White House dismissed them as “cheap fakes.” The Wall Street Journal’s recent story in which reporters interviewed 45 officials who expressed concern about Biden’s senescence was excoriated as a “hit job.”
All along the way, costly “gaffes” — such as Biden inadvertently calling for regime change in Moscow during a March 2022 visit to Warsaw — were simply chalked up to Uncle Joe being Uncle Joe. How dare you question hardscrabble Joe from Scranton: nothing to see here!
Anything — anything — to prevent the American people from learning the truth. Axios reported last Friday how “close aides have carefully shielded (Biden) from people inside and outside the White House since the beginning of his presidency.” For Democrats and their media enablers, there can be no stone left unturned to protect their precious. The ends always justify the means, after all, just as Saul Alinsky taught.
The media’s hubris in thinking it could get away with this is astounding. Biden is the president of the United States. His decline wasn’t exactly a state secret, at least for anyone with functioning eyes and ears. This column two years ago, in lamenting Biden’s “indications of a palpable senility,” concluded that “[t]here is something very, very clearly wrong with the president of the United States.”
Really, just how stupid do Democrats and the corporate media think we are? How long did they think they could get away with this gaslighting operation?
About what you just read, a couple of things:
-I don’t know that this was the the single greatest lie in American history. I can’t say for sure whether Mr. Hammer’s #1 assessment is – or isn’t – correct. But, if not specifically #1, it certainly is in that neighborhood;
-Despite the points Josh Hammer has made, there still are people who, either due to their stupidity, ignorance or take-no-prisoners partisanship, remain unchanged by these events; they will continue to be just as vulnerable to Democrat gaslighting.
Those two points aside, I cannot find anything to disagree with Mr. Hammer on.
Can you?
