Knives Out: WaPo, NYT Go For Biden Blood In Scathing Moment Of Honesty

Over the past month or so, mainstream media has overtly abandoned President Biden – the man they relentlessly shilled for during the 2020 election as the establishment went to extreme measures to unseat Donald Trump.

After months of gentile distancing, the media’s come-to-Jesus finally happened after the White House ‘botched’ the response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. CNN published an article last Wednesday titled: “After string of Supreme Court setbacks, Democrats wonder whether Biden White House is capable of urgency moment demands.”

“Top Democrats complain the President isn’t acting with — or perhaps is even capable of — the urgency the moment demands,” reads the piece.

Ouch!

“Rudderless, aimless and hopeless” is how one member of Congress described the White House.

Two dozen leading Democratic politicians and operatives, as well as several within the West Wing, tell CNN they feel this goes deeper than questions of ideology and posture. Instead, they say, it gets to questions of basic management. -CNN

Fast forward to Saturday, and both the New York Times and the Washington Post have taken serious shots at Biden.

The Post built on CNN‘s article – slamming the White House’s “struggle to respond” to the abortion ruling, writing that “Many Democrats were dismayed by his slow-footed response.”

For many Democrats, however, it was too little and too late — just one more example over the two weeks in which Biden and his team struggled to come up with a muscular plan of action on abortion rights, even though the Supreme Court ruling had been presaged two months earlier with the leak of a draft opinion. -WaPo

The New York Times straight-up suggested Biden is too old to govern – writing that his team ‘delayed his Middle East trip so the 79-year-old president would have more time to rest’ following last month’s Europe/NATO meetings.

Some excerpts:

• “managing the schedule of the oldest president in American history presents distinct challenges.”

• “Polls show many Americans consider Mr. Biden too old, and some Democratic strategists do not think he should run again.”

• “They acknowledged Mr. Biden looks older than just a few years ago…”

• “His energy level, while impressive for a man of his age, is not what it was, and some aides quietly watch out for him. He often shuffles when he walks, and aides worry he will trip on a wire. He stumbles over words during public events, and they hold their breath to see if he makes it to the end without a gaffe.“

• “His speeches can be flat and listless. He sometimes loses his train of thought, has trouble summoning names or appears momentarily confused. More than once, he has promoted Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her “President Harris.””
