The emperor’s new clothes

The USAian media is taking the line from their emperor-god about Biden and his cancer diagnosis. Many questions about who knew what and when. This led them into one of their favourite topics: whether Biden is going senile or not. Might be the last time they can do this, even though it is now irrelevant.

It is a real contrast to the way they fawn over Biden’s successor. He was rambling on yesterday about how he’ll win California and New York if there were “honest” elections. That was part of it, at any rate. He kept fading in and out of various topics. He doesn’t really seem to know what he is talking about and cannot maintain a single line of thought for longer than about ten seconds.

Just straight reporting would question the dubious notion about him winning a slew of straight Democrat states. Not to mention the implied slur that the elections up to now were not honest. Then they could probe what he intends to do to make them fair. And yet all they do is faithfully sanitise this deranged, incoherent garbage.

CBS had a story talking about the demolition of the IRS, but pulled it to put on a feature about Cajun music instead. PBS edited one of their documentaries to remove a contributor who was critical of the president.

The press always likes to characterise itself as “telling truth to power.” They are a disgrace.
