Have you wondered why the media, after hounding Biden out of the race, has suddenly chosen to ignore Trump's obvious cognitive decline? Yes, me too, and finally someone called out the problem. Thank you, Mike Barnicle.
As soon as they got Biden out of the way, cognitive issues were no longer an issue for any of the Beltway press. As Barnicle observed, "And today, we have a damaged, delusional old man who, again, might get reelected to the presidency of the United States. He is that close to it."
He went on to slam the false equivalence:
And I have to tell you, and I hesitate to say this, and I don't know whether Jonathan or Willie or Donnie would agree with me, but there's a false equivalency going on in the coverage of this race, in that Donald Trump can say whatever crazy things he wants to say about submarines and sharks and electric batteries, whatever he wants to say.
And it's not really covered in the sense that it's covered describing who said it, why he said it, and who the man is, Trump, out of his mind.
And always in that story, in the equivalency, the false equivalency by too many reporters and too many American newspapers, there's also, by the way, Kamala Harris changed her mind on fracking.
They always throw in something like that in the coverage of the story.
