MSNBC's Capehart Buries Biden Nodding Off During Their Interview
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/24/2022 1:23:08 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

This could be the biggest bit of journalistic malpractice, and naked pro-Democrat MSM partisanship, in recent memory.

In Jonathan Capehart's interview last week of President Biden, there was only one truly noteworthy moment. It came when Biden literally nodded off [see screencap] as Capehart asked whether Dr. Jill supports him running for re-election. Capehart had to jar Biden back awake by calling out, "Mr. President?"

So on his MSNBC show on Sunday, surely Capehart would include that seminal moment among the various clips of the interview he aired. Except, he never did!

What made Capehart's burying of Biden's beddy-bye moment even more egregious is that during that same interview, Biden challenged people who doubted his capacity to run again.

With Trump, if anything were even slightly “off” the media would starting taking about removal through the 25th. But with Biden, the thought never crosses their minds.

Slo Joe’s time is up. I am looking forward to the nefarious Dems bringing in non- dementia body doubles for Joe and Doc Jill. This will happen after the midterms. This is better for Dems, than getting rid of Joe, then dunce Kamala steps in as President.

“With Trump, if anything were even slightly “off” the media would start taking about removal through the 25th. But with Biden, the thought never crosses their minds.”

I think that’s the key point here.

I thought we were making too much out of a bit-longer-than-normal moment of reflection, but if Capehart thought he was falling asleep mid-thought, I’ll go with it !

Biden being president is just a myth isn’t it?

I find it discouraging that the conservative press is proving to be as hyperpartisan as the liberal press. I am slowly reaching the conclusion that neither are to be trusted—both are manipulating stories to drive public opinion.

I saw that interview. Biden was not “nodding off”. He was obviously gathering his thoughts to answer the question.

Is it too much to ask the media to report the facts without the editorializing, and without the character assassination? Its disgusting!

Biden was had clearly nodded off. So much so that a worried Capehart, an avid supporter, felt obliged to bring him back by exclaiming, “Mr. President?”

One wit sagely observed that when Biden opines, he is expressing the hopes and dreams of the “political class.”

We, the people, be damned.

Biden keeps touting his “accomplishments”......telling voters that this election is about “my accomplishments as a leader and not about the challenges you’re experiencing.”

He did NOT ‘nod off’.

He stroked.

They already have a double, but which is the real Joetato? The one with the wide open blues eyes? Or the one with the squinting black eyes?
