Puck: The White House "Reporters" All Knew That Biden's Dementia Had Entered the Galloping Phase, But Covered It Up

Via Ed Morrissey at Hot Air, Puck bothered to ask White House "reporters" if they noticed that Biden was in steep mental decline, and they said yes, the "reporters" had discussions among themselves about it all the time.

They just didn't see fit to share this with the public they supposedly serve.

Dylan Byers:

This week, I surveyed members of the White House press corps--reporters, on-air correspondents, photographers, etcetera--and they all emphasized that the symptoms of Biden's age had become more noticeable in recent months and a frequent discussion topic at the desks behind the Brady briefing room. "Anyone who covers this White House knows he's showing the signs of his age--he whispers, he shuffles, he misremembers," one White House reporter told me. "Anyone with an elderly parent knows what this is."
Since the beginning of Biden's term, many White House journalists have reported on, or alluded to, concerns surrounding Biden's age in often gentle or euphemistic ways. Nevertheless, several of the journalists I spoke with said the true significance and importance of that issue, as they observed it, was not reflected in the coverage--often due to the sense that it was sensitive or unseemly, or because there was no obvious evidence that it had affected his performance as president beyond optics. Or, left unsaid, perhaps because they didn't want to ruin their relationship with the White House by being the lone wolf to speak up.

Or, just maybe, reporters are an all-Democrat Guild who fight hard to elect Democrats and suppress negative information about them to the extent possible.

"It was something that felt indelicate to talk about," one member of the White House press corps told me. In retrospect, some journalists felt like it probably warranted more coverage: "The amount of time we spent talking about it versus the time we spent reporting on it was not the same," one of the reporters said. "There should have been tougher, more scrutinizing coverage of his age earlier."

Like in 2020, maybe?

No, of course not. Notice they're now setting up the Modified Limited Hangout Fallback Position that while Biden is showing mental decline, he only started really showing it in the past few months. Thereby absolving themselves of the cover-up before 2020, and the coverup from 2021 until a coupe of months ago.

They're only (anonymously) copping to an Insufficiency of Effort in the past couple of months. Since Christmas, basically.

Morrissey commented:

Of late, we hear plenty from the news industry about a "crisis" for democracy as their platforms downsize or fail. They are a necessity for a well-informed republic, media professionals insist, But how can they make that argument while at the same time refusing to actually inform the public, especially about a critical failure at the head of government and state?

They work in a Higher Sort of Truth, peon.

This is what has been worrying me about their (non) response to what Gov. Abbott has been doing on the border. I figured they would feel that they had to respond to someone openly challenging their authority. Instead, the response has been "eh, we can bring so many bodies across the border in other places that it doesn't really matter, so fuck it."

32 And you can't expect the propaganda ministry to tell the truth.

And that, more than anything, has been the lessons of the last forty years. And the animus of how we got here.

You can't really expect the Police to Protect and Serve. You can't expect the Border Patrol to do a damn thing on the border. You also can't expect the Sunday School Teacher or Boy Scout Leader to be in a room with your kids without something going south. You can't expect the Generals to manage an Army. You can't expect the News Readers on TV to say anything other than a lie.

You can't trust a Teacher ... Public or Private. Or a Doctor or a Lawyer or anyone else with a "cert". We are all in this on our own, without the aid of any Expert or Trusted Person.

That is the age we are in. The drama, at this point, is everyone unwinding from that trust, at different speeds and allied to different entities. And the folks that get louder because they refuse to ever quit believing that nothing has changed in forty or more years.

Yes. My parents who both made it to their mid-90s were both in their right minds the whole time. They never took forever to find the word they wanted to use [and with excellent vocabularies]; never said anything nonsensical, even my dad who had a bit of a stammer.

My dad did have hospital dementia once when he was in the ER and then the Cardiac unit for about a week after Christmas in 2019-2020, and he didn't say anything stupid although he was miming using a spreadsheet on an invisible tablet, presumably in front of him, and asking me about engineering clients he still had contacting him.

68 imo Biden is still in early stages of dementia ... he walks OK (despite the shuffle and wandering) and still can put together sentences (with more than his normal gaff ratio).

Later stage he wouldn't know anyone, probably unable to walk ... and other bad things. Regardless, he was never competent to be president, and his fits of anger are often (always?) misplaced. Early dementia just makes all the bad traits worse. And we might not survive one more year, let alone Five.

I will call Bullshit on that right now. Bullshit all the way down to the bottom.

The Dem power base is that area from DC to Philly to NYC to Boston. Combined with LA and all points south. Sprinkled in with the lucky affluent urban areas from every city in the United States where their own political decisions haven't been met with consequences yet, due to the rural area sensibilities they hate that surround them nonetheless.

The current movers and shakers on the Left are mostly Affluent White. Their surrogates are every color of the rainbow. But look at the leadership.

103 There are no clear cut "early" or "late" stages of dementia that can be widely defined.

It's different for each person. And the symptoms may, or may not be the same. Some victims of the affliction lose their mind early and retain physical strength. Others are the opposite. And everything in-between.

But under any rational definition, *biden is in mid-late stages of dementia. The waxing and waning is likely due to the meds he's being administered. Some of which are probably not widely available to the general public without the bucks to pay for it.

Truth is, Reagan was early stage dementia, when he was still President. I don't know all the particulars, but I think they said he was already showing indicators. And when he spoke at the '92 R convention, everyone held their breath, hoping he wouldn't make himself look bad... and he didn't.

But he was already having issues.

Realize all the pain and suffering an open border with its crime, effect on our communities and the outright theft of our wealth and services has caused. Ponder how Democrats are outright rigging the electoral process to ensure the continued decline of our country. Then think about the fentanyl pouring across our border and killing an average of at least three people every day.

I also run into seniors and veterans either at the supermarket or in their homes who cannot afford basic necessities or healthcare because the money is wasted on Democrats political operations and people who are no even citizens.

Finally, realize the media lies and coverup of those issues has allowed them all to happen, unabated and without an ounce of truth or introspection, because their loyalty is to a political cult and their shibboleths.

Imagine what the truth would change, and then realize the media is ultimately responsible for most of that pain and suffering.

113 Willowed,
You seem to be tied into the legal world, so I have to ask this if you don't mind.

If someone is a DA, an attorney, and behaves unethically can't the AG of the state that attorney is licensed in to appear before the bar shit can her license?

Just because she's elected doesn't give her carte blanch to behave unethically as a licensed lawyer, does it?
Posted by: CrotchetyOldJarhead
-------
In GA, the State Bar Association and the GA Sup. Court are who handles bar complaints and discipline. The AG can complain but so can regular citizens, judges, lawyers, etc. Then the GA Bar does the original investigation of unethical/illegal behavior and renders a decision. That decision can be appealed to the GA Supreme Court.

But people love them both, for one reason only. They didn't actively work to make Americans weaker.

My husband would call me in the middle of the night because there were children outside w/ no one to take care of them. Or he was in Oklahoma but not to worry, he would find me.
One thing I learned is that Lewy's screws up depth perception somehow. I may not say this right. But my husband would shy away from a rug, for example, because he thought it was a hole he could fall into. I think of that every time I see Biden trying to find his way off-stage.

My daughter-in-law is executive director of a hospice for the homeless. They have a cat who always knows when a resident is "ready to move on". The cat will sit by the person's door until let into the room and the will sit at the foot of the bed until the person passes. Doesn't eat or drink. They have found it is never more than 12 hours from the cat goes to the door until the end.

It sounds creepy but is actually helpful because they can use the time to track down any family that may want to be there.

235 Lawyers on MSNBC appear to be in agreement that Trump's lawyers are failing badly in their case against Willis. The hand ringing over this hearing here this morning was nauseating. I never doubted her.

Weisman thinks there was not any proof that Willis benefited from hiring Wade. Even CNN is being very negative about the cheato lawyers' case. Pleasantly surprised so far. Of course it could change.

They've succeeded in making Fani Willis a real hero today. This is up there with Hilary testifying in front of a rightwing lynchmob committee for 11 hours. Meanwhile criminal Trump cowers behind his lawyers and runs away from the slightest scrutiny.

I read here earlier how supposedly Fani was doing so badly. Then she took the stand and started to *thwack* homeruns over the center field wall!

I hope a lot of down ticket Republicans are watching the proceedings to see where the money they should be getting from the RNC is actually going.
