‘Stupid Premise!’ Chuck Todd Fumes at ‘Right-Wing Manufactured’ Claim the Media Covered Up Biden’s Decline
Mediaite ^ | Apr 28, 2025 | Joe DePaolo

Posted on 04/28/2025 6:47:57 PM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

Chuck Todd scoffed at the premise that the media failed to adequately cover the decline of former President Joe Biden ahead of the 2024 election.

Speaking with Chris Cillizza on his Substack channel Monday, Todd — the former moderator of NBC’s Meet the Press — rejected the idea that media outlets dropped the ball and did not question whether Biden’s cognitive function was sufficient to run the country for another four years.

“This is not a media failure,” Todd said. “This was a failure of the Democratic party. And the virtue signaling that some people have done to try to say the media missed this story, they didn’t miss this story! David Ignatius wrote ‘I just refuse to accept this stupid premise! Because it’s a manufactured Right-wing premise in order to stain the media.”

Speaking on Saturday night at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Axios’s Alex Thompson — the co-author of a forthcoming book on the former president’s decline — called out the press for not challenging the White House narrative that Biden was up to the job.

“President Biden’s decline and its coverup by the people around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception,” Thompson said. “But being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves. We, myself included, missed a lot of this story.”

So Chuck is saying the media was hoodwinked by the Democrats, and the media was too stupid to notice Biden's dementia.

Easy to believe the media does whatever the Dems tell them, but they were in on the coverup. They worked with the Rats on what questions to ask.

You know, if we all just ignored people like Chuck Todd, they would just go away.

Please Biden was a walking potato ion 2020 and you all covered it up Todd, stop trying to play the public.. he was clearly and obviously suffering from dementia or some other cognitive mental issue well before the 2020 campaign..

It was obvious for anyone who has spent any time around someone who has suffered from such afflictions… you covered it up and lied, period.

There’s a reason he’s called “F. Chuck Todd”.

Haven’t you ever noticed liberals don’t care if they look stupid. Remember Hillary’s email server at her house and her comment about, “wipe it, like a cloth?” They think they’re smarter than us.

The media is so good that, on our local noon news, they reported about the nightclub in Colorado Springs being raided, and over 100 arrested, suspected it as being a haven for drugs, etc. NO MENTION WAS MADE that those arrested were mostly illegal aliens.

A million other examples. I read our local newspaper, and EVERY AP story is skewed against DJT, GOP and conservatism. It is so scary that a huge percentage of the public thinks they are getting factual news from MSM.

No kidding. Just a few weeks ago, he was on video saying “some media” didn’t want to cover Biden’s decline because it MIGHT help Trump.

That is why I dropped our POC Al newspaper after about 25 years.

Who are we going to believe — Chuck Todd, or our own lying eyes?
