The Washington Post is reporting that "the 81-year-old had shown signs of slipping for a long time, but his inner circle worked to conceal his decline." That is a rather curious and belated observation. The Post leaves the obvious implications unstated...
...First, Kamala Harris was part of that "inner circle," something that she is emphasizing on the campaign trial . That would mean that she also concealed his decline but denying it publicly...
...Second, since many were long writing about the decline, it begs the question of the near total lack of interest in that issue by the media, including the Washington Post. Many professed to the public that Biden was sharp as a tack...jonathanturley.org/2024/07/04/rep…
...Finally, there is fact that the political and medical staff at the White House repeatedly denied any decline to the media. Yet, the Post now rather matter-of-factly admits that it was all a knowing lie. Just another shrug and spin in our post-truth political environment.
