Many in media failed to report more on Biden's cognitive issues because they feared "blowback...from the White House and Democrats," or, worse: "age stories angered the White House (and the liberal Twittersphere) the most.”
If you won't report major stories about the most powerful people in the country, all because you're afraid of provoking anger from the WH, Democrats, or "the liberal Twittersphere," you are many things.
"Journalist" is not one of them. It's so pathetic:
That said, I 100% believe that a desperate desire to avoid angering the WH, Democrats, and "the liberal Twittersphere" is absolutely the main motivation for most people who work in corporate media.
Why don't they just go work for the WH or the Democratic Party?

Also: US corporate media always tries to deny "journalist" status to anyone who actually does real adversarial reporting against the US Govt, rather than just doing a Natasha Bertrand of writing down what CIA orders.
Assange won multiple journalism awards around the world:👇
I urge everyone to watch the repulsive exchange between Ron Paul and Rudy Giuliani at the 2008 GOP debate Dave mentioned.
It shows how blind and repressive the Bush-Cheney-era GOP - and US - were, and still are, to core truths about our foreign policy:
That military aggression by the US and allies (Israel) will produce "blowback" -- meaning the people we bomb will hate us and want to kill us in return -- was created by the CIA!
Yet it's so taboo that TikTok was forced to censor the bin Laden letter because it discuss this.
To prosecute Hunter Biden, FBI has to say -- and has testified -- that his laptop and every document on it is authentic and unaltered.
Not one media outlet who spread the CIA's bullshit "Russian disinformation" lie has retracted it or apologized:
One more time: the people who most loudly and continuously claim that they are combatting "disinformation" are the exact people who spread it most aggressively and easily. Just look:
For weeks before the 2020 election, corporate media and CIA united to fabricate this complete lie to shield Joe Biden from incriminating reporting about his family's business activities in China and Ukraine.
This exchange alone proves what a pathological liar Fauci is.
One week after receiving emails from top epidemiologists arguing the virus was likely a lab leak, Fauci caused a virtual ban on questioning COVID's origin.
But he's a liberal folk hero so only GOP can raise this:
Before anything was known about COVID's origins, Fauci engineered a fake consensus that it was naturally occurring: in part because he had connections to the Wuhan lab.
People were banned online from questioning or debating it, until even Biden Admin admitted they don't know:👇
And just to show how cynically liberals weaponize racism:
It was decreed that "lab leak theory" was racist even though the more racist theory was theirs: that the Chinese are so unsanitary that filthy wet markets caused it.
The only thing that should have mattered was truth.
