https://nypost.com/2024/12/30/us-news/cbs-news-jan-crawford-says-most-underreported-2024-story-was-bidens-mental-fitness/ CBS News journalist slams media, says most underreported 2024 story was Biden’s ‘obvious cognitive decline’ Veteran CBS News reporter Jan Crawford dinged news organizations for not thoroughly covering President Biden’s “obvious cognitive decline” this year until it became unavoidable during his disastrous debate against Donald Trump over the summer.Crawford, the network’s chief legal correspondent, insisted stronger reporting on the topic could have changed the entire election as she responded to a question from “Face the Nation” moderator Major Garrett about the most underreported story in 2024.“Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” she said on the Sunday morning show.She then noted recent reporting by the Wall Street Journal that detailed how White House aides covered up Biden’s mental decline over the past four years.
The explosive report says staffers formed a tight circle around the 82-year-old Democrat to limit his in-person interactions. “And yet he insisted that he could still run for president. We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats,” Crawford said.She then noted recent reporting by the Wall Street Journal that detailed how White House aides covered up Biden’s mental decline over the past four years.The explosive report says staffers formed a tight circle around the 82-year-old Democrat to limit his in-person interactions. “And yet he insisted that he could still run for president.

Weird since actually it was in the New York Times every five minutes
>>1371534lol you act like every leftist wasn't in complete denial before the debate, even calling conservatives conspiracy theorists for daring to suggest that Biden's mental health was a concern.In fact half the Democrats were in denial even after the debate, up until Biden officially stepped down.
>>1371532Good thread thanks op
>>1371535This.10000000% this
>>1371532>nypostmurdoch shill
No worries, will see plenty of 'obvious cognitive decline' next year until 2029 thanks to the 71M+ (R)etards
>>1371535Senile tRump let's Musk order him around. ELDER ABUSE
>>1371554Wait til tRump's last yr, in 2028. The old geezer is gonna be asking," can you puree thus big Mac for me?" "Oopsy, I did a nono in my diddee"
>>1371534dems pretended like he was fine, even though he had dementia back in 2020, until the debate
>>1371554>what do you mean you DON'T want the US to become a third-world shithole?>what are you, retarded?kek>>1371558>until the debatethe funniest part was seeing some dems pretend he was fine AFTER the debate. That's how far in denial they were
>>1371560What do you think "third-world" means? The way you use it implies you have no clue and think it means poor
>>1371561>What do you think "third-world" means? poor>The way you use it implies you have no clue and think it means poorbecause it does>ACKSHUALLY I learned in my history class that "third-world" means a country not aligned with either the US or USSR! (Gosh I'm so smart and such a good educated student)cool story kid, but the adults are talking.
>>1371532Nobody *actually* believed the lies that Biden was cognitively sharp, everyone saw how he acted his entire presidency, it was obvious to everyone Except Democrats
The joke here is that Republican's can't actually recognize cognitive decline, they can only recognize it when their shill media tells them about it.
>>1371532he could have stepped down and let Kamala be the first woman president. instead the president is still a dementia patient.
>>1371562>wrong and proud of itmagat behavior
>>1371565...what? Conservatives recognized the cognitive decline. It was Democrats who were blinded by it. Look at the picture in the OP.>>1371567why are you still here? Stop interrupting the adults.
>>1371565Look in the mirror
>>1371569Trump has been in cognitive decline since at least 2013. Conservatives just ignore it because "le funne orang man make libtards mad! Hurrdurr">Y-you're a child!Get better comebacks.
>>1371572Pretty much everyone over the age of 40 has been in cognitive decline since they turned 40 so you're going to need a better argument than that or your imaginary strawmen, boomer
>>1371532Biden didn't do shit in the white house. On average he spent nearly every other day on a vacation, and his administration of unelected bureaucrats made every decision for himhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_vacationsBiden probably isn't even cognitively consonant enough to order a ham sandwich
>>1371574>1000+ days for DubyaJesus Christ.
>>1371572>NNNOOOOOOOOO you can't just point out the obvious fact that I'm so young my views are based on what my teachers told me instead of actual real-world experience!raising the voting age to 25 would be the best way to fix our country
>>1371577>our countryanon, you're an esl shill and we're all well aware of this fact
At least the press was consistent. They didn't mention Biden's decline and the normalized Trump's insane babbling at the same time. It was fair and balanced.It was sad when Joe dropped out and Trump was still going on about him and didn't even know that Harris was his opponent for weeks and weeks.
>>1371576Given his 8 years in office, that's less per year than biden
>>1371532I'M OUTRAGED!!1 HE OUGHT TO APOLOGIZE!!1
>>1371584Shh. Don't use math with leftists. It angers them.
>>1371584>Comparing post-covid work from home environments to Dubya 20 years ago sitting at home on his ranch
>>1371617Shut up, disingenuous retardBiden wasn't working remote. Anything for you to gobble down his old man cock tho, eh?
>>1371618More like any made up bullshit you think you can attack him with.
>>1371620Whatever bro. You are legit insane if you think a vacation is "working remotely"Dumb faggot.
>>1371621Maybe if you keep crying about it a few more boomers in North Dakota will care.
>>1371622Kek. It's national news faggot.Biden isn't just old and dumb, he's also lazy.You still voting for him?
>>1371623>baaaaaaawwwwww!And when Trump plays golf for more than half his term, like he did last time, you'll be here desperately trying to downplay it.
>>1371625>like he did last timeWell he didn't and you are lying, pretty much what I expect from your type
>>1371630No one cares what a terminally online chud like you expects. Everyone here is laughing at your half-assed attempts to get Elon off page 1.
>>1371625>Trump played over 700 days of golf during his first termthis sounds made up
>>1371633You're a retard who lives in an information vaccumhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_and_golfWhile campaigning to be president, Trump declared in August 2016: "I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to play golf".[50] As president, the amount of time he spent golfing generated controversy. Despite having frequently criticized his predecessor Barack Obama for having played golf too much as president, Trump golfed 11 times during his first eight weeks in office, when Obama did not golf at all in his first eight weeks. Golf Digest concluded that Obama played 306 rounds of golf over his two terms, which the magazine describes as "...a fairly remarkable amount of golf while in office".[51][52] Trump visited a Trump Organization property on 428 (nearly one in three) of the 1,461 days of his presidency and is estimated to have played 261 rounds of golf, one every 5.6 days.[53]According to CNN, Trump visited Trump-owned golf courses 92 times between becoming president in January 2017 and January 3, 2018, although the White House did not disclose whether he played golf during a visit to a golf course.[54] The White House on some occasions denied that Trump played golf during his visits even after photos published on social media showed him doing so.[50] In November 2018, The Washington Post found that the average number of days between golf rounds was around 5 days for Trump, and around 12–13 days for Obama.[55]
>>1371635>Trump visited a Trump Organization property on 428 (nearly one in three) of the 1,461 days of his presidencyAh so you did lie Thanks for clearing that up, faggot
>>1371655Those were just the Trump organization properties. he golfed elsewhere, too. The fact that you think that's normal is telling.
>>1371656Bro you lied I don't care about what else you have to say
>>1371666Get thee behind me foul spirit
>>1371670Please take your medication
>>1371672Ahh yes here it is, the default gaslighting.
>>1371673Anon, you lied. You even provided a citation proving you lied and you are so stupid you posted it before you read it I literally don't care what you have to say and would prefer if you just took your meds and became a normal person.
>>1371532Kek, geat image op. I thought it was a screen grab of the article, but it turned out to be a prediction of how gullible and predictable democrats are
>>1371532> most underreported 2024 story was Biden’s ‘obvious cognitive decline’What? It was all over the news constantly and I don’t mean the schizo who continually spammed it on this board.
>>1371696They know that but don't care as long as Elon isn't on page 1 anymore.
>>1371675No lie detectedhttps://seattlemedium.com/donald-trump-spent-almost-a-year-playing-golf-during-presidency/
>>1371696only after the debate. Before then it was dismissed as a rightwing conspiracy theory. See OP pic.
>>1371698Well, he said "half his presidency" which is two years, which is demonstrably more than "almost a year"So yeah, it was a lie, faggot
>>1371696Shut up, retard
>>1371700>an entire year of playing golf is finelel
>>1371701Not him but does this work on the containment board you came from?
>>1371702Well Biden spent nearly 2 years in a convalescent home eating pudding and pardoning his son for crimes, so if you want to complain about laziness, Biden is demonstrably worse in that regard
>>1371703I asked you to shut up, retard
>>1371705>>1371706biden derangement syndrome
>>1371554>>1371556>no u
>>1371535So.. it was reported, you just don't like people having skepticism towards the media?
>>1371718Why are you so cringey
>>1371728HRT and TDS
>>1371714Trump genuinely is showing signs of dementia himself (Not surprising considering he's 78 with a family history of Alzheimer's) if you pay attention. Like just silently dancing to music instead of asking questions, or going on long ass tangents in response to basic questions.
>>1371555I can't wait for Musk to fire your ass into homelessness. Once he gets rid of 99% of bureaucrats DC will have the lowest rent prices.
>>1371555Why are you people so weird
>>1371761If I held my supply of Vyvance from my 79 yr old grandparent, unless they complied with my demands, I'd call that elder abuse.
>>1371736>Like just silently dancing to music instead of asking questions>Trump not continuing with an event while a medical emergency was going on in the crowd means he has dementia! Come on man, I'm sure you can find better "evidence" than that.
>>1371775Pretty sure he's just going to share the 6 year old Twitter rumor claiming Trump had a stroke because he fumbled a word
>>1371775>>Trump not continuing with an event while a medical emergency was going on in the crowd means he has dementia!Anon that wasn't the incident I'm talking about.>https://www.newsweek.com/trump-crowd-leaves-early-audience-made-listen-music-long-time-1969034
>>1371532>CBS News journalist slams media, says most underreported 2024 story was Biden’s ‘obvious cognitive decline’Everyone knew this, democrats are just too fucking brainwashed to have admitted it at any point in their lives until "the experts" told them it was ok
