How many members of the mass media knew for years that FDR was unable to walk—and never mentioned it?

Then when Pearl Harbor happened if you told the truth about FDR’s condition you would have been treated as an enemy agent.

It reminds me of the Biden coverup.

If you listen to the mass media describe themselves they tell us journalism is “truth telling” and “speaking truth to power”.

At the end of the day they do neither.

The entire media was in on it from the very beginning. Early on he was able to walk some with the aid of very heavy braces by the time the war broke out he no longer had the strength for that most of the time.

My mother, an FDR voter, said it was common knowledge that the President had had polio and couldn't walk. But decorum was a "thing" back then, and folks weren't crass enough to talk about it. She was flummoxed when that statue was made of him in a wheelchair decades later, and thought it disrespectful. Along with the nonsense that no one knew about it at the time.

Similarly, I saw some kind of biopic on TV several years ago on Liberace. It claimed he was always fearful of being "outed" as a homosexual. Perhaps if he were living in his own bubble! All the grown-up females I knew seemed to think him cute and harmless, especially as he was a flaming pansy.
