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.”

Oh, please. When she was still with the New York Times, she too was participating in covering up Democrat malfeasances. The news media as a whole always knew and still knows LOTS of instances of corruption and scandals that they sit on and squash because it’ll hurt democrats and help Republicans.

Example:

Hillary Clinton, a ‘nasty, mean enabler’? The claim is ludicrous

Jill Abramson
