[Order Daniel Greenfield’s new book, Domestic Enemies: HERE.]
“The Biden White House clearly succeeded in a massive cover-up of the degree of the President’s feebleness and his serious physical decline,” former New York Times editor Jill Abramson claimed. “Shame on the White House press corps for not to have pierced the veil of secrecy surrounding the President.”
How could the media have possibly penetrated that “veil of secrecy” when Biden confused Iran and Ukraine during the State of the Union address in front of the entire nation, when he falsely claimed that his son died in Iraq, couldn’t remember in an interview when he had served as vice president, and finished a speech with “God save the Queen.”
There’s no way the estimated 85,000 reporters in the country could have cracked this case.
The 60% of Americans who said they weren’t confident about Biden’s mental capacity had somehow penetrated the “massive cover-up” that no one in the media seemed able to do.
Where are Watergate’s Woodward and Bernstein when you need them?
Bob Woodward popped up on MSNBC to blather that, “I think the answer here is in reporting, in seeking very aggressively, an explanation — what happened here?”
Carl Bernstein emerged to tell CNN that he had sources “very close to President Biden” who described 15-20 similar incidents. And a ‘rigor mortis’ like freeze a year ago. This would have been big news if Bernstein had possessed the guts to actually break the story instead of jumping on the bandwagon when it was popular. What did Carl know and when did he know it?
And the same is true of the rest of the corrupt media which spent years lying to us and is now acting as if it were fooled by some vast conspiracy when the only conspiracy was by the media.
Was there really a “massive coverup” or a “veil of secrecy”? There were hundreds of videos circulating of Biden moving feebly, spouting random nonsense and appearing to be out of it.
As recently as the week before the media was arguing that those videos were “cheapfakes”.
The ‘cheapfake’ slur was hurled at videos of Biden appearing to be out of it at the G7 meeting.
On June 21, the New York Times ran a story claiming that the Trump team and the Republican National Committee were circulating “misleading videos” showing that he had “wandered off during a meeting with other Group of 7 leaders” and had “struggled to sit down at a D-Day commemoration ceremony”.
On July 2, the New York Times belatedly reported that “Mr. Biden appeared to wander off from the group of leaders to talk to paratroopers and the Italian prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, came up behind him, and gently brought him back.”
The story further mentioned that “a senior European official who was present said that there had been a noticeable decline in Mr. Biden’s physical state since the previous fall and that the Europeans had been ‘shocked’ by what they saw. The president at times appeared ‘out of it,’ the official said, and it was difficult to engage him in conversation while he was walking.”
“Ms. Meloni and the other leaders were acutely sensitive to Mr. Biden’s physical condition, discussing it privately among themselves, and they tried to avoid embarrassing him by slowing their own pace while walking with the president. When they worried that he did not seem poised and cameras were around, they closed ranks around him physically to shield him while he collected himself, the official said.”
The New York Times lied about Biden’s appearance at G7 and then, when the signal had been given, suddenly began reporting that the accounts it had been calling “misleading” were true.
Like the rest of the media, it did this without a word of apology. The Times would like us to believe that it didn’t or couldn’t have talked to that same European official two weeks ago about Biden’s mental and physical state when the videos came out. It chose to follow the narrative.
The Wall Street Journal was the only mainstream media outlet which ran a story about Biden’s decline. The story in early June came under fire not only from the Biden administration, but from other members of the press. And no Democrat was willing to go on record for it.
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough called the WSJ story a hit piece.
“If you want to talk about international affairs, if you want to talk about how to get bipartisan legislation, Joe Biden is light-years ahead of all of them,” Scarborough rambled. “And the fact that The Wall Street Journal knew these quotes were out there, that editors — I’m not looking at the reporter. People always blame the reporter. … I don’t even know what to say. I really don’t even know what to say here.” After the debate, Scarborough called for Biden to drop out.
Juan Williams at FOX News claimed a little over a week ago that not only were videos of Biden’s senility “cheapfakes”, but that there was a conspiracy by Republicans and Russia to spread disinformation claiming that “an aging President Biden is mentally incompetent.” He urged censorship by “Congress and big tech to shut down political fraudsters on the internet. The price of inaction is that we lose our democracy.”
There was no massive cover up, just a massively complicit media which buried the story.
Biden’s decline was public knowledge. It’s not just a conservative echo chamber. Random Democrats I spoke with have called him senile and too old. If there was a “massive cover-up and a veil of secrecy”, how did a black nurse whom I spoke to in New Orleans, during the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s previous Restoration Weekend, call him a “dementia case”?
How did she pierce the “massive cover-up” and the “veil of secrecy” when the Times couldn’t?
There was no veil. The media just spent years lying about Biden for political gain. And it’s still at it now. Now that the media is reporting on Biden’s mental decline, it is no more trustworthy than when it was lying about it. The media is not telling the truth and no longer even sees journalistic objectivity or unbiased reporting as valid values. The only thing it cares about is winning.
The media conducted that “massive coverup” because it believed propping up Biden was its best bet for keeping its party in power. Now that bet looks bad and the media is hurriedly authorizing stories about Biden’s decline to get him to drop out. If that doesn’t work, the stories will get buried all over again and we’ll be told that it turns out that Biden was fine all along.
If the media had the faintest shred of decency left it would stop playing Captain Renault and insulting the intelligence of the entire country by pretending it didn’t know about Biden’s state.
There was no cover-up here except by the media. And now the media is engaged in a cover-up of its cover-up. We’re supposed to believe that no one in the media noticed when the president took to shouting random gibberish and there was a national debate on the subject of his sanity.
And now we’re supposed to believe that the media is trying to take down Biden, not because polls show he might lose the election, but because it’s suddenly committed to the truth.
Nobody believes anything the media says. And they’re right not to.
A shambling human wreck occupied the highest office in plain sight because there was no one to hide it from. The media’s first and only priority was putting a Democrat in the White House. That is still its first and only priority. The media will tell any lie and cover up any story to do it.
The media hasn’t stopped lying to us. It’s only begun to lie.
Mark Cogley says
Eloquent and true. But the media cannot walk back the Biden-is-senile line they have now taken up, especially when every day he provides more evidence.
Jeff Bargholz says
Not evidence but proof. He has stage six Alzheimer’s and some form of Parkinson’s, too. I forget what it’s called. It isn’t the kind Michael J Fox has that causes uncontrollable tremors, but that stiff armed shuffle of his is a symptom.
Jeff Bargholz says
Just today a Parkinson’s Dr visited the White House Dr, long after I posted that comment, which was actually at 2;53 am. (I don’t know why am and pm are reversed on this comment program.) It was the Parkinson Dr’s THIRD visit.
Toldja so. Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Not a good combo for a President of the USA or even the Resident of the USA, Alzheimer Joe.
Jeff Bargholz says
Actually it was the Parkinson’s Dr’s eighth visit.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Good one Daniel 🙂
Out of those 85,000 reporters, one would think some of them would have had some experience with Dementia patients.
I recognized it immediately, based on my limited experience. Am I the only one? Hard to believe.
I like the way the term “Cheapfakes” got blown out of the water so soon 🙂
Vegard says
You said you recognised it immediately. When did you recognise it??
Jeff Bargholz says
I recognized it when he announced his campaign for the presidency by shouting in that old man voice of his: I’m Joe Biden and I’m running for Senate!” And it’s been on public display ever since then, despite attempts by his handlers to limit his public appearances and to never answer questions.
Algorithmic Analyst says
Thanks Jeff !!!

The question is, are there enough voters who can think for themselves, to outweigh the brainwashed and apathetic ones?
Jeff Bargholz says
And the scumbags who put party over family, friends and the country, no matter who has a D in front of their name.
Rob A says
That’s an interesting question. I would argue that the answer is no. Moreover, there’s more than anecdotal evidence so support my assertion.
Full disclosure: I’m an avowed cynic and a student of Murphy’s Laws and Corollaries.
“It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.”
“If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.”

“A meeting is an event at which the minutes are kept and the hours are lost.”
“When all else fails, read the instructions.”

“Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse.”
That’s funny.

You might find these quotes interesting:

They have been wearing their Blinders for far too long
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah and their blinders were their hands in front of their eyes. The scummy “see no evil” monkeys.
Kasandra says
And, after endangering the country by covering for Biden, they haven’t learned a thing. The day he drops out and Kamala or Whitmer or whatever woman they bring in to replace him drops in, our garbage “news media” will regale us with stories on how she’s a cross between Madame Curie, Rosa Parks, Joan of Arc and Mother Teresa. They really should get off of their “speaking truth to power” mantra and go with something more truthful and accurate like “lying to the great unwashed.”
Jeff Bargholz says
If anybody were to replace Alzheimer Joe, it would be Heels Up Harris. She’s the vice President and stupid people think she’s black. Most D-Bag voters are stupid, you know. Not even the Dirtbagocrat party would be dumb enough to nominate Shitmer, who’s the second most detested woman in America, after Hitlery. Not even ho-chul in NY is so hated.
Mo de Profit says
“Joe Biden is light-years ahead of all of them,”
That reporter is correct, just ask Kamala and the goon squad.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, light years. Nobody can match him in pants shitting, falling down and mouthing gibberish.. He’s the champ.
Rob A says
That’s Joe Biden’s “super power”!!
Jeff Bargholz says
“Baby Man!” Like that old cartoon but a villain instead of a hero.
MuggsSpongedice says
comments from those in attendance to the one or more global conferences where Biden shite his pants was the stench was awful and impossible to deny
Joe Esposito says
And still the presidential race is neck and neck.
Half of America’s voting public are the Useful Idiots that the International Left
celebrates every day.

Media 1 Guy to Media 2 Guy:
“I don’t know about you but I am not carrying water for that demented old fool anymore. We need to find a more vibrant, aware person to run for President that we can carry water for. I mean, after all, we are still carrying Obama’s water, and he has been out of office for almost 8 years”
Steve Chavez says
“THE CONSPIRACY OF SILENCE!”
“The FBI, DOJ, AND MSM look at Trump under an Electron Microscope while they look at the Obama’s, Biden’s, and Democrats, with a BACKWARDS HUBBLE TELESCOPE!”
When the MSM is confronted with anything bad to do with a Democrat, they turn into Sgt. Schultz: “I see nothing! I hear nothing! I KNOW NOTHING!” Wasn’t he a TRAITOR to his country? So are the MSM.
NEWCASTS AROUND THE U.S. including my local TV, “Trump said that if he loses, it’s going to be a BLOODBATH!” CUT. BIDEN SAID, “BLOODBATH” and the end of a rant so he never got the context either and only repeated with the MSM put out? MILLIONS ARE REPEATING IT SO IT IS A DISSERVICE BY THE MSM AND TO AMERICA TO CREATE HATE WHICH INCITES TO VIOLENCE! (I called our local TV and couldn’t get anyone important on the phone. I then put it as a News Tip, no response. I then bombarded the hosts FB pages with their obviously LYING. Many agreed when I put the entire clip on their comment section. Others said I linked the post to a right-wing site and then, “You watch too much Faux News.”)
TRACE IT ALL BACK TO UNIVERSITY JOURNALISM PROFESSORS who give an assignment for the students to attend a protest and write an article on it. The good ones, “Yes, they’re fighting for Social Justice, the LGBTQ+ community, and for Palestine.” THOSE STUDENTS are recommended now to the University newspaper to now be reporters with their SLANTED VIEWS. THEN TO LOCAL MEDIA… THEN TO NATIONAL, ALL TO PROMOTE THEIR AGENDA. After a few years on the streets, they apply to a university, their professors and editors recommend them, now a Professor who gives an assignment to cover a protest! THE CIRCLE OF COMMUNISM!
Snowfrog says
This coverup was good for America. We have the bold faced liars on tape and they are exposed. They sold their integrity in the presence of EVERYONE. There is much more to this debacle that hides below the surface. The hatred for Trump is their motivation. They have TDS that dominates their actions. They have lied to the extent that they believe he is Hitler. Their pregnant lies have birthed hysteria. They are led by their emotions and not qualified to participate in adult conversations anymore. Many Americans are critical thinkers and will figure this out. The 40% who are sheep will be thrilled that their lying media is on their side.
Rob A says
You’re implicitly suggesting that they had integrity to being with. Integrity is a manifestation of morality. I would suggest that most members of the media are bereft of any sense of morality and as such, integrity means little to nothing to them.
All one has to do is turn into CNN or MSNBC to see a glaring example of amoral people bereft of any since of morality. Another example is the Rainbow cult/mafia that has all but subsumed American culture and has become the only government sanctioned “religion” in America..
But don’t mind me. I’m just pointing out a few obvious facts that makes people uncomfortable to acknowledge or even talk about.
Always On Watch says
It’s “The Twilight Zone.” Damn. Where is Rod Serling when we need him? Or even Ray Bradbury.
arnold ahlert says
Don’t kid yourself, Daniel. Millions of American KNOW they’ve been lied to, but they’ll STILL believe the same people who lied to them THIS time are spouting the gospel truth the NEXT time around.
Rob A says
Question: What other choice does the media have? They were instrumental in building, promoting and perpetuating the lie that is Joe Biden. Telling the truth about Joe Biden’s current mental affliction, among his other afflictions, was never and is never going to happen.
As bought & paid for property of the democrat party, the media is obligated to build Joe Biden up into some larger than life statesman, That’s a lie of course but that’s for the American people to figure out, not the media.
Besides, the media has good reason to assume that the average American is a lowbrow ignoramus`. Proof? Joe Biden is president. QED!
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
The media was then an active participant in treason or sedition at minimum. It was/is a crime that involves treason.
Rob A says
Josef Stalin, Mao Tse Tung, Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein, et al, had a very effective method of dealing with people like that….. Just saying!!
Jeff Bargholz says
They get acclaim and awards over here.

Over there they get their necks stretched or dosed with lead in the head or torso Over here they get acclaim, book deals and paid invites to appear on all the talking heads TV shows.

I suspect the Bidens will try to make Hunter the replacement.
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
With that crowd, it would not be shocking.

Crack Hunter got caught the other day trying to snort the white lines in a road.

And the civil war starts 24 hours later! A war in which most of the liberal left will not survive.
Remember, 95% of all liberals don’t don’t believe in or like the 2nd amendment and are thus unarmed. (wielding a baseball bat, frying pan or golf club for protection will not suffice for being properly “armed..”)
Birder says
Remember people, big media is owned by a couple of elites at the top. These elites “allow” Fox to show a bit of conservative news to keep the fake idea of two sides (right and left) ongoing. The whole thing is a lie! When you understand this, it all makes sense! All those supposed reporters are doing the bidding of the leftists in charge so there can never be truth unless it’s okayed at the top (which never happens!)! Find and read alternative truth news—like Mr. Greenfield!
Algorithmic Analyst says
The owners of big media are part of an oligarchy (Daniel is the expert on oligarchies, I’m just trying to understand them 🙂
Jeff Bargholz says
Fox isn’t conservative anymore. It’s been garbage ever since Rupert Murdoch made his secretary the CEO. He might as well have named her a brain surgeon or airline pilot and let her go at it.
Rob A says
Dr. Angelo Codevilla wrote a book back in 2010 titled: “The Ruling Class: How They Corrupted America and What We Can Do About. It’s recommended reading for anyone who wants to know and understand just who the true puppet masters of America.
The book came after he wrote an article earlier that year in The American Spectator titled: “America’s Ruling Class—And the Perils of Revolution..”
In the article he wrote::
“The only serious opposition to this arrogant Ruling Party is coming not from feckless Republicans but from what might be called the Country Party—and its vision is revolutionary.”
Today, we call that Country Party the “MAGA movement” which is beginning to supplant the republican and democrat parties.
The article is still available on the internet.
Ron Kelmell says
Now that 10-12,000,000 new Democrats are in America (illegal aliens), the Biden crime family is a ‘shoo-in’ for the next four years. To me, this is manifest proof that America is under the judgment of the God, officially abandoned by so many SCOTUS rulings.
Believe me! I want to be very wrong. However, I can see no other explanation for our disaster..
Luz Maria Rodriguez says
It must be a crime to carry on like they have done. Aggressively going after anyone who questioned Biden’s condition. When the Dems screamed for Trump to get a cognition test, he did. He passed easily. It appears to be an act of treason to run cover for so long. It places the US in a precarious position with Allies and Enemies. Now that the World has seen the utter incompetent place filler, the US may be at even more risk. Was that not why the military went on high alert at multiple bases last week?
Where are the adults in the Democrat Party?
Where is justice for these multiple hears of coverup and treason?
A list of names is needed of those who misled us and the World for January 20, 2025, when we get a real DOJ back on-board. There must be a ‘coming to Jesus’ moment for them.
Kevin Nienhuis says
I’m surprised the media didn’t claim that Putin and those sneaky, nefarious Russians hacked into CNN during the debate and replaced the real Joe Byedone with a fake, 3D holographic imposter … Thus, all the more reason Joe must be elected to, you know, PROTECT OUR DEMOCRACY!!!™
BettyO says
I learned all I needed to know about the integrity of Sen. Joseph Biden years ago.
Anyone here remember the treatment of Clarence Thomas during the Congressional review of his appointment to the Supreme Court?
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, and the time a congressional committee viewed hours of the ATF and FBI murdering the children, women and men at the Waco Branch Davidian “compound,” he lied with a straight face that they were innocent.
AZCOWBOY says
FDR at Yalta + Bozo the Clown = Joe Biden.
Charley says
They have only begun to lie.
Rob A says
An undeniable fact of life:
If it weren’t for lying, the democrats wouldn’t have much of anything to say worth listening to.; Lying is the only way they can draw people’s attention. The more outrageous the lie, the more attention they get and democrats hunger for attention (e.g., CNN, MSNBC, et all.)
I think what what vexes most rational and sane people to no end is the fact that there never seems to be any consequences for the democrats when they get caught lying.or cheating for that matter.
DrLarry says
The debate occurred because Trump called Democrats’ bluff. The terms of the debate were supposed to be very favorable for Biden and the Democrats assumed that Trump would at least try to negotiate conditions, which would have led the Democrats cancelling the debate and saying that Trump was afraid to debate Biden. So Trump accepted and didn’t give them a chance to cancel it.
The debate between Biden and Trump exposed the lie that Biden doesn’t have dementia. and is “sharp as a tack.” which is what the Democrats and the liars in the media were saying just prior to the debate. Now, in an effort to maintain a facade of credibility they have to feign surprise that Biden has dementia.
Hopefully more Americans will realize that the majority of the media just plain lie to them and are propagandists for the Democrats.
TRex says
I go on a local website where there are occasional political discussions. Once in a while, when Biden is the subject, lots of leftists show up to exhibit their TDS and I can assure you Biden is their guy. It’s amazing how they refuse to accept the undeniably poor mental state of FJB. With the polls showing the race within a few points, it’s obvious there are a lot more people who continue to buy the lie than one would hope. It’s party over country “by any means necessary”.
jcr says
If DJT walked onto stage with an untied shoelace, MSM would discuss that as proof of intellectual infirmity.
Yet if Brandon cannot find his way onto the stage, to the podum, or how get off the stage; to READ a teleprompter; if he tries to shake hands where none exist: nothing to see here.
Brandon letting off a loud, stinky fart at a gathering of British Royalty? Nothing to see (smell) here. Move along.
Yes. DJT can be a pig and a jerk. But the woman? All were consensual. NONE were children. (NOTE: Ashley Biden.)
And he knows how to run a business. His business and the USA.
He has my VOTE!
