For much of Joe Biden’s time in office, the White House has held The Wall Street Journal’s news operation in high regard.
The paper’s reporters have often been selected to ask questions at Biden’s press conferences. The White House has regularly worked with them privately on stories. And the press shop grew to appreciate The Journal’s unvarnished and dry approach to coverage, having grown annoyed at The Washington Post’s inclination to run “tick tock” stories and, what they felt was, The New York Times’ obsession with the subject of the president’s age. But that relationship is now under serious strain following The Journal’s own publication of a lengthy story on the president’s health and mental acuity.
That story, based on what the paper said were more than 45 interviews over several months, cast Biden as discursive and distracted, mumbling and non-attentive. It presented anecdotes in which the president would read from notecards in meetings with lawmakers, speak in hushed tones and seemingly stumble over his own administration’s policies.
Inside the West Wing, staff interpreted the piece as a sign that the paper was reverting to partisan form ahead of the November election. There was some speculation that the paper’s owner, Rupert Murdoch, was showing his preference for a Donald Trump victory, according to two people familiar with the communications team’s thinking. “Complete and utter editorial fail by the @wsj,” White House communications director Ben LaBolt posted on X. “Makes you wonder who they’re taking orders from.”

Murdock is making grounds for another puppet at their convention.
Did Biden poop his pants in Normandy? It sure looked like it.
Biden Administration response, “This report has all the makings of Russian disinformation.”

LMAO
The Biden team seethed? lol
It’s not like anyone over five can’t see that Joe’s a demented circus monkey who’s so frail he can barely walk.
I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal - it’s pretty much the only national newspaper still out there which at least tries to be impartial and actually reports news instead of editorials masquerading as news.
I’d bet he uses a walker behind closed doors.
Oh he craps his diaper in public and they’re worried about an article about his age? Are his people actually this mentally retarded?
Sorry, but the WSJ is for simpleton neocons that like to get the wool pulled over their eyes... Wise up my man.
They’re NOT the WSJ of bygone days anymore.
Yep. What the public sees has to be the best possible Joe Biden.
How could it be otherwise?
The Rats will float Biden for as long as possible in order to best coordinate a swap.
What is your definition of neocon?
You’re right. The media edits videos or doesn’t show them at all.
Why don’t you look it up then you’ll be educated too? I don’t want to waste time explaining something that you could research in very little time.
Have you ever heard the term ‘military industrial complex’? You could look that up too while you’re at it as they’re joined at the hip with the neocons. In fact, the neocons are the main movers and shakers of the MIC. Foreign intervention is the neocons calling card and there’s no war they wouldn’t support if it keeps the cash flowing to the MIC... It makes the fatcat pigs BIG money while wasting American blood and treasure. The WSJ has been infiltrated by neocons and just one look at their editorial pages confirm that. they used to be a fine conservative, America first newspaper, not anymore.
One recent neocon for a good example is George W. Bush, in fact his entire political family are big neocons.
I dropped our Journal subscription in the late 90’s when it called for open borders.
Relax... some people see it differently... Just wanted to know what you thought. Not everything is a fight....
