Carl Bernstein just let the cat out of the bag about the media conspiracy to hide Joe Biden’s long-running cognitive collapse from voters.
The former fabled Watergate reporter-turned-Trump-derange-ment merchant told CNN this week that he knew of 15 or 20 occasions in the past 18 months when Joe Biden’s brain has malfunctioned as it did during last week’s debate.
Several people “who are very close to President Biden . . . are adamant that what we saw the other night, the Joe Biden we saw, is not a one-off . . . In the last six months particularly there has been a marked incidence of cognitive decline.”
Bernstein cited “numerous instances where the president has lost his train of thought [and] can’t pick it up again,” including when he froze at the podium as if he had “rigor mortis” during a fundraiser in New York in June 2023.
“This was a year ago almost exactly at the old Four Seasons restaurant on Park Avenue. And he became very stiff and a chair had to be brought for him.”
Bernstein said it was “significant” how many people around the president “are aware of such incidents, including some reporters, incidentally, who witnessed some of them.”
Why didn’t Bernstein and his journalistic colleagues tell us all this before the debate?
Anyone with common sense could see Biden was aging badly.
Democrats and their donors now feigning surprise only have themselves to blame.
Their ignorance was willful and deliberate.
They would have elevated a corpse to the Oval Office in 2020 if it meant dislodging Trump, and they’ve maintained the deception ever since.
All they are worried about now is that Biden might lose the election.
Otherwise, they’d keep propping him up.

Ex-NY Times executive editor blasts DC reporters
for roles in Biden ‘cover-up’: ‘Simply astounding’
NY Post ^ | July 3, 2024 | By Josh Christenson

Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson blasted journalists in Washington, D.C. for failing to “hold power accountable” — and participating in a “massive cover-up” with the White House to shield President Biden’s “decline.”
“It is our duty to poke through White House smoke screens and find out the truth,” Abramson told Semafor. “The Biden White House clearly succeeded in a massive cover-up of the degree of the President’s feebleness and his serious physical decline, which may be simply the result of old age. “Shame on the White House press corps for not to have [sic] pierced the veil of secrecy surrounding the President,” she continued, while conceding that it would be “a super hard story” to land with solid Democratic sourcing.
Still, the ex-Times editor, who worked at the left-leaning publication from 2011-2014, said she believes “if enough reporters had pushed, the story was reportable.” Abramson added that she worr ies too many journalists “didn’t try to get the story” out of fear of being “accused of helping elect Donald Trump.” (Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
We should never forget the media always lies.
If it is bad for Democrats they lie to cover it up. Remember Hunter’s laptop, or how about the “pandemic” that was nothing more then the annual flu (the number of cases of the flu dropped to zero during this period of time, everything was contributed to covid).
If it is not true about Republicans they lie to amplify the untruth (remember RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA, they knew that was a lie)
They lie to advance their agenda so they either amplify or conceal.
The only reason they are reporting on Biden is that those behind the scene wants him gone so they have been given their marching orders and like good little mindless robots they go out and do their master’s work.
Yup. Brandon is a ticking time bomb. It is inevitable that he will blow up in public again. What will their excuses be the next time? Oh no, he has jet lag again. He flew from De to DC!
ps
I’m sick of press reporting on Biden’s great accomplishments. Passing trillion dollar pork barrel wasteful spending is hardly an accomplishment.
The lying MSM has just now noticed? They’ve been caught in their coverup. And they wonder why know trusts or believes them?
just imagine the tales they could divulge about election fraud, eh? once a liar, often a liar.
The left wing media apologized for joe’s handicaps for years because it only destroyed the nation! Now that his shortfalls are destroying the democrat party they are all over it! Where were their dedications?
“ The Media knew it. And, they deliberately kept it from us until we saw it for ourselves.”
And they attacked the real journalists who were reporting on it. As they did with the laptop and lab leak stories.
WH Press Briefing on Biden’s Health Derailed
Reporter Yelling Out ‘Is He Awake?’
Sarah Rumpf, Jul 3rd, 2024, Mediaite.com
A White House Press Briefing Wednesday was momentarily derailed by a reporter’s outburst, asking if President Joe Biden was “awake” and able to come down to address the media. (Watch the clip via CNN.)
Biden has been facing increasing scrutiny since his debate with former President Donald Trump last Thursday, including several moments in which the 81-year-old, voice raspy from an apparent cold, struggled to find his train of thought. Recent polling showed 72% of Americans do not believe Biden has the “mental and cognitive health to be president,” and on Tuesday, Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) became the first sitting member of Congress to publicly call for Biden to withdraw from the race.
Wednesday brought more tough headlines for the president, as a New York Times/Siena College poll was released showing Trump up 6 points nationally, and rumors continued to swirl about internal discontent among Democrats, anxiety among campaign staff, and calls for him to step aside. Nonetheless, Biden has remained adamant that he intends to stay in the race.
At Wednesday’s briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced another grilling from a skeptical room of reporters about Biden’s debate performance and intentions for the campaign.
NBC News Senior White House Correspondent Kelly O’Donnell asked if Biden had “a duty to review data like polling information that’s coming in, donor information, the fears and concerns and anxieties expressed by Democrats,” and Jean-Pierre asked for a clarification.
“You’re saying that he’s absolutely running –” said O’Donnell, and Jean-Pierre interjected, “well, he’s saying that and I’m sharing, I’m sharing with you his view.”
“– And we would invite the president to come here and tell us that directly,” said O’Donnell. “Noted. Noted, noted, Kelly,” said Jean-Pierre.
“If he’s awake!” called out a male reporter from behind O’Donnell, drawing a “that’s inappropriate!” rebuke from her. “As you heard from your colleague, the President of the WHCA, that’s inappropriate,” added Jean-Pierre. “Thank you, Kelly.”
Have a tip we should know? tips@mediaite.com
The GOP knew it and kept it to themselves. All of the Senate had to know it too, every Repukelican there.

Biden’s declining condition has put national security at risk. Democrats should be publicly challenged on this by their constituents.
It’s just extraordinary how Bernstein could sit there and have that discussion, and others picking up on the same, like they have gotten inside information - as though there aren’t numerous examples out there publicly available on video of this going on for years.
Real Americans knew Biden had cognitive issues for a few years at least but they’ve known he was a moronic imbecile for decades.
The MSM didn’t hide anything from real Americans.
It isn't.
Each media outlet is going to spread that interpretation of the truth which supports its agenda.
The media has always been this way (i.e., ideology/agenda over truth).
A big part of the problem isn't just that the media lies to us. It is that humans are becoming less intelligent and more gullible. BTW, this is the goal of the Elites who understand that a well-educated/learned and intelligent populace is an impediment to their desired form of government (oligarchy, plutocracy, aristocracy).
Such as it is, the press is the greatest power in the Western World - Alexandr Solhenitsyn
A traitorous, evil, demented criminal occupies the highest office in America. We’re programmed to boo or cheer whether this POS should run again.
This mess is no surprise. We saw Biden’s dementia back in the 2020 election when Biden was hiding. No one cared.
The MSM long ago discarded the search for truthful answers. Now its all about ideology. And they wonder why the Public at large does not trust them.
Unfortunately, there are still enough people who watch and read their drivel to keep them afloat, kinda/sorta.
Correct. “lids”, “sundowning”, etc. were all widely discussed throughout the 2020 campaign.
