Who thinks this is the main thing the political press should be reckoning with and apologizing for over the past year?

Biden’s age was “but her emails” on steroids.

Even on the narrow dimension of that issue — “is the candidate old and senile,”—the Republican candidate was MUCH worse, and the media coverage just pretended otherwise.

Thompson is doing this to promote his book so grotesquely. Plus, it's easy now to take cheap shots at Biden, now that he's is out of the White House & has no press secretary to push back or even issue a statement in response.

A bad faith person will almost certainly keep acting in bad faith.

It cost nothing to support , a simple share will make a difference 😊

Honestly, if there's something to apologize for, it's fawning over trump and his ilk for 10 years and never challenging them on anything.

Biden did a bunch of good things despite being old.

This is just a different flavor of the same sucking up to Trump that the CEOs performed, and the journalists are likely to fare no better than the CEOs currently are.

Personally, stopped reading after “Axios”

Look, the guy just has his finger on the pulse. His latest, published this morning, was about how democratic 2028 hopefuls are courting the manosphere, as evidenced by Ro Khanna going on a right wing podcast four months ago

It’s always ethical to bully axios.

The lack of self awareness here is gobsmacking - "“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."

MSM arrogance towards viewers is thoroughly tone deaf. And they certainly don't like being called out on their big fail of sanewashing trump, not just in 2024, but for the past 8 years.

If "the current president has dementia and his asinine sycophants are steering the ship" is not your next headline...
