CNN Called out Biden's 'Confusion,' Now More Media Is Piling On

Is the liberal MSM starting to talk about Joe Biden’s issues including his coherence and confusion problems?

It seems like they might finally have started approaching the topic, although certainly not calling out everything, as we might.

As we noted over the weekend, in a surprising move for CNN, they were honest and reported on his “confusion” when he was talking about test kits with ABC’s David Muir. He repeatedly called test kits “pills,” then corrected himself and then called them “pills” again even after correcting himself. In a remarkably honest report, CNN took notice of it and pointed out how even the current pledge that the Biden administration made to provide test kits to Americans wouldn’t produce any action until sometime in the future and perhaps was illusory.

CNN’s Jeff Zeleny says Joe Biden is “not accepting any responsibility for this lack of testing.”

“Repeatedly throughout this interview with David Muir, President Biden seems confused and was confusing the half a billion tests that they’ve ordered with a half a billion pills,” Zeleny said. “Of course, pills were in the news today with the Pfizer approval of the anti-viral, so he corrected himself, but that was one thing that stuck out to me.”

Zeleny also points out that the promise for tests in January may be illusory, as well. “There is no sense, from this administration, [tests] will be sent out early in January as the president suggested,” Zeleny explained.

They also ripped him with a brutal comparison to Jimmy Carter’s economic approval numbers, saying that his numbers were now worse than those of Carter.

However, it wasn’t just CNN. Terry Moran of ABC went there, as well, although he used a description not in common use to describe Biden. It sure does fit.

ABC’s Terry Moran: Biden is seen as an "enervated executive."

“One of the challenges that Biden has had as president is he seems to a lot of people to be an enervated executive, ” Moran said. “It is partly his age, it’s partly that he hasn’t seized hold of a lot of the issues that people are most concerned about. He’s obviously behind the eight-ball on testing and COVID. And I think people are eager for more energy in the executive and more youth as well.”

Merriam-Webster defines “enervated” as “lacking physical, mental, or moral vigor.” The Oxford Lexico Dictionary defines it as “drained of energy or vitality.” Both are perfect descriptions of Joe Biden. It isn’t just that he’s confused and frequently incoherent, he lacks any energy to approach any of the issues currently bedeviling him. That’s why he has not just been confused about testing, but why he’s said a lot about it, promised tests but then did nothing. Even now, after the media yelled at him on the subject and forced him to say something, any action is weeks off. There’s a complete lack of energy to get things done. It’s just about superficially saying whatever he thinks will go over well to get him through the moment. It’s why everything he approaches from Afghanistan to Build Back Better goes down in flames. He had months to get people out of Afghanistan, we were calling him out since May to do so, but he didn’t. He’s a placeholder to hold the Democrats’ power and it comes across that way, to anyone honestly looking at this administration. As I noted previously, it’s not the Biden Administration, it’s the “Bystander Administration” where things just happen around Joe but none of the bad things are ever his fault.

Exactly. Biden’s incompetence was no secret during his campaign. They’d like people to assume the recent Democrat presidency has anything to do with the inept coot they’ve bolted to a chair in the Oval Office. By replacing the puppet they intend to give the public a new target for its ire, while the people behind the scenes carry on.

Are any of these lying networks going to fess up for helping get him “elected”?

It’s not as if Xiden’s lack of lucidity now comes as a surprise.

Since the press operates as the thug/enforcement arm of the democrat party - we can assume these 'tough questions' were OKed by the democrat party before David Muir spoke them - - same with the rest of the sycophants in the Main Stream Media...

They march to the same drummer..

Being late to the party will not pull CNN’s ratings out of the toilet. They have zero credibility.

Every comment on this topic so far has failed to factor in Dr. Jill.

She is not an insubstantial piece of the puzzle.

And she won’t give up the FLOTUS gig without a fight.

Do you have any idea at all how to force Harris out? If so, the Democrats would love to hear it

Her approvals are even higher than Biden‘s. Face it. She’s not going anywhere.

DON’T FALL FOR IT. The dirty old chomo in chief knows exactly what he is doing. When the media has this many stories at the same time about a democrat it is all planned and coordinated.

The move to get rid of Biden is picking up speed.

The DNC's problem is that they first need to move Kamala out of the VP spot and put in whoever they feel should be their 2024 candidate. That could be very tricky.

Exactly.
This is all planned and coordinated by the puppet masters.

You can bank on that. They are.

Manufacture a scandal. Perhaps tie her to Jussie with the lynching bill. Or find someone she helped bail out who killed someone afterwards. Or put her on a plane to Croatia.

Or just wait. We have time. She'll say or do something that will turn more people against her.
