If Biden had stayed in the race and won last year, almost all the media would still be saying that he was as sharp as a tack and those who said otherwise were right wing purveyors of misinformation. However much you hate what was formally known as the mainstream media, you do not hate them enough.
It Was Obvious Back in 2020

First, I’d like to say it’s rather rich to have a media hack like Cenk Uygur try to distance himself from his fellow so-called “journalists”, as though he behaved any differently from them. Cenk, if Biden’s mental decline was as “obvious to anyone with eyes” as you say— (and it was painfully obvious even in 2020)—then why didn’t you shout it from the rooftops yourself? What a 24-karat hypocrite.
Second, we don’t despise our corporate ‘journalists’ nearly as much as they deserve.
On April 1 (!!!) of this year Axios announced that their National Political Correspondent Alex Thompson was awarded the White House Correspondent’s Association’s Aldo Beckman Award for “Overall Excellence in White House Coverage”. Thompson was the reporter who last summer uncovered the shocking story that President Biden was suffering from cognitive decline— something that was already obvious to every other person on earth outside of corporate newsrooms, and had been for years.
According to the WHCA judges who gave the award, “Thompson’s work demonstrates that he embodies many of the traits exhibited by Aldo Beckman— impartiality, deep knowledge of the presidency (in this instance, the Biden administration) and integrity. Thompson’s aggressive reporting on Biden… revealed that the president’s cognitive decline was impacting his ability to do his job, information the White House tried to conceal.” Take a moment to let the stunning falsity and hypocrisy of the tongue-bath the WHCA judges gave Thompson (and themselves) wash over you. These are the same “journalists” who spent three and a half years covering for Biden’s naked, obvious incapacity.
Truly, it is impossible to despise these people enough. They are grotesque.
The blob media-bureaucracy complex which owned the means of propaganda for so long is now exposed as dazed and confused, weak and feeble, unable to produce a coherent argument. And the only people left who the blob can still convince are the same.
Incredibly it all hinged on one man with means believing the only way he could loose was to not fight. It’s truly an epic lesson.
One takeaway from this is a frightening fact that Kamala garnered as many votes as she did in light of her coverups for The Wanderer in Chief. To say that she “had to lie” bc of her role in the Administration only proved that she couldn’t be trusted. I thank God that she ended up sinking her own ship with her mixed messages and condescending explanations.
A dissolving mainstream media is the beginning of a true free press. You can only lie to the public for so long until they turn off the spicket. Ratings and advertising dollars go hand in hand, of course.
I do hate the liberal media.
They are void of integrity.

To be fair, Cenk was saying it at the time.
Sorry – meant to post this as well.

Personally, I like the fact that Cenk is willing to admit he was wrong on certain issues. His colleague was even more forthright, Ana Kasparian, I mean. I’d like to be able to bring them all the way to truth (not just politics).
I’m reminded of the beautiful speech towards the end of The Chosen, “If my son cannot return to me, at least let him meet me half way. If he cannot even come half way, tell him to come as far as he can, and I will cover the rest of the distance.”
