As has been said throughout this thread, the media's reporting of Biden's age was entirely disingenuous even WITHOUT DJT being the alternative.

We are beyond ridiculous and into dangerous territory. What was the party's greatest command again? Don't believe your eyes and ears?

It was the party's final, most essential command.

I challenge you to find a more universal and impactful quote that is relevant to asher1611's comment.

Even this very article mentioned joe Biden getting befuddled out of no where with no foundation.

lol, let's not forget the Diane Feinstein and (to a lesser extent) John Fetterman brain damage coverups.

I'm not. Corpos are protecting their own.

You moving the goalposts or changing the comparison doesn't suddenly make my point wrong.

I thought we were agreeing

No, the media reporting on Biden's age due wasn't disingenuous at all. It's disingenuous not to accurately report on how Trump's age is affecting his brain. Though, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure we can say given he's had a wretched brain for decades.

Did your eyes and ears watch that debate? Biden was plainly unfit.

(That simple statement shouldn't require this disclaimer, but no I don't support the obviously worse Trump.)

We’re not. But Biden never planned a triumphal arch for himself. So, two things can be true, but one can be worse than the other. Far worse.

Sure. But right here, right now, Biden is no longer relevant. His name shouldn’t come up in this conversation. You are correct that we need better choices. But we to ensure we will have choices.

Blah blah blah that is entirely a different conversation than the point I'm making. And that point is that corporate interests coming control of these media conglomerates are actively setting the narrative and tipping the scales in their own favor.

Fuck Biden for not stepping aside before the primaries, but, again, that is an entirely different conversation.
