Why does the media refuse to acknowledge Biden’s cognitive decline?

[Not_Average]

It’s really sad to watch him. He cannot formulate sentences together or remember basic information such as where he’s at. It seems as if he’s struggling with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. It’s just really strange for me that people call others conspiracy theorist for pointing out the painfully obvious. Why is it that the media on the left won’t even acknowledge these things? Shouldn’t it be acknowledged regardless of what political affiliation in which you stand with?

[OlderAndWiser]

After you admit it, then the next question is "how long has this been happening?" The MSM does not want to acknowledge that they were aware of this problem during the year before the election but kept their mouths shut because they did not want that to lead to people voting for Trump.

[ManHater]

Because the United states is a dyeing country. The liberals know this and they hate their country and implement measures that will increase it's demise. The Liberals are committing suicide the same reason why LGBTQ people's suicide rates are so high. They can't conform to the realities of the world and as such seek to destroy the world that they hate.

Of all the people in the world the most people to hate the United states of American are actually American's them selves particularly Democrats.

Joey is the worst president in history, and yes, the media handles him with kid gloves, because that's what China pays them to do. I get why the media would sell their souls to make a buck, but I'm baffled why folks on GAG would do it for free. (Heck, maybe China is paying them, also.)

[Daniela1982]

Because they don't want to admit that Trump was the best candidate. At least Trump was doing something about illegal immigration while Biden sends out written invitations to all of Mexico and South America saying please come and mooch off the taxpayers.

[JimBeams]

Trump used to answer question after question from the media, and even on his way out to Marine One. Joey says he's not ALLOWED to answer questions? Really? Is he 8 years old? I thought he was the leader of the free world. Putin must be laughing at this pussy of a president that's "not allowed" to answer questions because he's too stupid to answer them.

I like the implication here that trump knows what DNA stands for when he absolutely does not lmao

[Opinion Owner]

@thotmas97

I like that you're a complete idiot. Biden is a complete puppet of China, and so are you.

[thotmas97]

I’m just saying, if you knew anything about the man whose genius you fetishize to the point of cult like adoration you’d know he proudly is not book smart. Books are for losers.

[Opinion Owner]

@thotmas97

You speak a lot and say nothing. We have a brain-dead president that you support. Good for you.

[thotmas97]

I do not support president Biden in the sense that I like him or even would endorse his re election

[Opinion Owner]

@thotmas97

Then based on this question and your replies, you're either off your meds or have some type of personality disorder.

[thotmas97]

Which comment did I state my support of Biden? Can you point it out to me?

[Opinion Owner]

@thotmas97

Which comment did I say you did? Can you point that out to me? And then go take your meds.

[thotmas97]

Well you said I have a personality disorder correct? Implying that I have some kind of split personality? And one of those personalities obviously doesn’t support Biden electorally, since I just said as much, that must mean that logically the other does? Was that not the implication of that insult?

Honestly I can’t tell if you’re genuinely this stupid or pretending to be.

Donald Trump aka Donald Downer lost the 2020 US Presidential Election and
trust me the Republicans is who voted for Mr. Biden, not all the Democrats

[oddwaffle]

Hardly relevant these days considering the last guy they voted for. They could put a monkey in the chair and it would hardly make a difference.

Okay. It would be some pretty funny meetings and negotiations.

[exitseven]

They pulled this loser across the finish line. If they hadn't stonewalled the Hunter Biden corruption scandal until after the election there may have been a different outcome. Now they are stuck with him.

[JesseJayNeak]

They miss Trump and they know it

[kyleelyn199723]

Because they prefer somebody that won’t speak logically and will only speak with emotion. They didn’t like trump because he spoke logically

[thotmas97]

Ah yes, famous logician Donald trump.

[kyleelyn199723]

@thotmas97 way more logical about controversial subjects going on than any other politician that has been in office lately.

[thotmas97]

You think? I don’t even like Obama but he could talk circles around his opponents. Trump had his talking points but he was losing it by the end of his term. You sure it’s not just because you agreed with him?

[kyleelyn199723]

@thotmas97 I agree trump was not 100% correct with everything he has done, but he was most logical in terms of how Covid came abouts, most real about what he was trying to do with the boreder, etc.

[thotmas97]

I think in defense of that his idea of how to treat the border was so simplistic that it immediately comes across as logical. As for Covid, he pretty much just repeated verbatim what his secretary of defense had been saying for years.

[kyleelyn199723]

@thotmas97 he was 100% right about where the virus came from and people called him racist for being honest about where it came from.

[thotmas97]

It came from China, everyone knew that. The point of contention is whether it was intentionally made to undermine the United States, something that regardless of what people say, has not been demonstrated

[kyleelyn199723]

@thotmas97 it was definitely an attack on the United States although it has affected most countries. I think it was meant to make the United State set back and destroy everything we have which it has greatly done. Don’t worry the virus isn’t over yet

[thotmas97]

Ok now we’re entering complete conspiracy territory and that’s not a conversation I’m interested in having.

[kyleelyn199723]

@thotmas97 I mean has it not set back the United States? It has. You opened up that conversation by the way. You said it, and I added onto it. Just like you opened up lots of controversial convos with this question.

[thotmas97]

You know damn well there’s a difference between saying that the virus hurt the United States and that it was a coordinated attack by the Chinese government.

[kyleelyn199723]

Oops sorry you aren’t the question starter, but you did open up controversial talk by commenting in the first place?

[thotmas97]

This type of dishonesty is why I loathe political debate

[kyleelyn199723]

And you know damn well you entertained the idea of people having different opinions than you? If you don’t want to talk about it, don’t entertain it? People are just getting more and more pathetic

[kyleelyn199723]

You are being dishonest yourself right now sir.

[thotmas97]

I didn’t entertain it, I shut down the conversation as soon as it reached that point and you whines about it.

[thotmas97]

How do you figure?

[kyleelyn199723]

No you didn’t, you opened up a can of worms for more opinions to be made. Lol don’t come on my comment, say some Gibberish because you are against my opinion and then get mad when you don’t want to talk about stuff. Stop commenting.

[JimBeams]

Kyleeyn, you got this idiot on the ropes... finish his sorry ass off.

[thotmas97]

The conversation went from discussing the logical merit of former president trump to you saying that China engaged in biological warfare with the United States. That’s not a logical progression nor is that a conversation I’m interested in having. Cry about it.

[kyleelyn199723]

That you opened up by even going into that subject. I didn’t go into that subject: I said Trump was logical with his sense of how the virus started meanwhile everyone called him a racist for even entertaining that it is an attack on the United States which it is. It has affected us the most. Now please get off my comment. You came out of no where.

[kyleelyn199723]

You are still conversing about it!!’ Lmao for someone that does not want to converse about it, you still haven’t disappeared off my comment.

[thotmas97]

“Which it is” excellent argument. It’s an attack on the United States because it is. You see why I don’t want to get into this? This is entirely rooted in speculation and conspiracy, and I don’t debate conspiracy.

[thotmas97]

Alright then I’ll stop responding and you can vent to someone who would rather waste their time, since I’ve wasted enough of mine

[kyleelyn199723]

Okay so get off my comment. It’s funny how people can’t just leave a conversation when they don’t want to be involved anymore lol you didn’t want to be involved yet you are still naming your stance on a subject you don’t want to talk about. Comical.

[kyleelyn199723]

You have been wasting your time for 30 mins straight, don’t kid yourself.

[thotmas97]

I’d like them to cover it more but at the same time those same media figures got horribly upset at the idea that Trump likely was suffering from dementia himself

[thotmas97]

Also I think the Biden Alzheimer’s stuff is overblown. He absolutely can speak eloquently and with nuance, but people take the worst instances of him stuttering, put it in a YouTube compilation then people who don’t listen to his speeches just assume that’s how he talks.

[Not_Average]

I’ve seen his speeches and press conference appearances with no edits and it’s pretty bad man

[Not_Average]

I lean right on policy, but Trump wasn’t my favorite president at all. I don’t have any blind devotion towards any politician. I think most of them are full of shit. Having said that, Trump was and is way sharper than Biden. I don’t even know how anyone denies that tbh.

[thotmas97]

It’s really not but ok

[thotmas97]

Yeah I’d say now he’s the sharper of the two for sure but it’s really not a great comparison they’re both geriatric and sun downing.

[Anonymous]

There are a lot of issues the Main Stream Media will deliberately not talk about, because those issues don't fit the "narrative".
And there are other issues that the MSM will misreport by design.
That's why I always get my news ONLY from right-wing conservative sources such as
TruNews dot Com

[FunkyMonkee]

It doesn't fit their narrative and, they are bought & paid for by the elites who TELL THEM what they can and can't report on!!

[Leavesbound]

Because it is not appropriate to acknowledge what does not exist.

[MCheetah]

He's an elitist puppet with no actual power whatsoever. Why WOULD they speak negatively of him?

[SomeGuyCalledTom]

Because they use him as a puppet and will quickly discard him once Kamala Harris is ready to ascend the throne.

[cth96190]

Because the US media is owned by and mostly staffed by Democrat leftard traitors, who have zero ethics and do not practise journalism.

[msc545]

Because what you think is "cognitive decline" is actually a speech deficit he has had for a long time. You are not qualified to diagnose dementia or any other neurocognitive disorder, yet you persist in your bullshit quackery for political reasons. I am qualified to diagnose neurocognitive disorders and my *professional* impression is that he has no cognitive decline. What I think about this is worth a lot more than your layman's opinion.

[Not_Average]

I fully understand he has a speech impediment. I completely disagree with the notion that you need to have a PhD to understand that he’s not all there. It’s painfully obvious in my opinion. He can’t even remember where he’s at. He uses notecards. The questions from the media are asked before hand. I don’t even look at this from a Republican or Democratic stance. I honestly feel bad for the man. I think it’s strange that we don’t acknowledge the clear signs that he’s losing it mentally.

[thotmas97]

Yeah the questions from the media are absolutely not prepped beforehand and you’d know that if you watched any press conference

[Not_Average]

I think Obama for example was extremely sharp. Trump was sharper than Biden, but I don’t peg Trump to be incredibly bright either. Plenty of Democratic presidents that I could list off that I’d consider to be bright. If you’re going to deny the clear signs that he’s declining, it makes me think your devotion towards your political party of choice is blinding you

[thotmas97]

You aren’t seriously talking to me, are you?

You realize there’s a difference between asking some reporters for questions over a single zoom call and having reporters provide you with questions every press conference right?

[Not_Average]

Also, my fiancée is a clinical psychologist as well and would completely disagree with you.

[msc545]

You quite literally have Dunning-Kruger syndrome. You don't know what you don't know, and you think you do.

[msc545]

How nice for her. I'm a Clinical Neuropsychologist. Ask her to explain the difference to you.

[Not_Average]

Yeah I'm pretty sure I could utilize some engineering jargon to go ahead and try to create a point that I'm smarter than you as well. Maybe I should recite some of the laws concerning thermal dynamics. The thing is, I don't insult people merely because they disagree with me. There's literally no one I have ever met, that feels secure, confident, and self assured within themselves that will go ahead and deliberately try to put others down because there's a disagreement. I've literally never met someone who deliberately puts others down and tries to throw their credentials down others throats as an act to show that they are better who's happy in their life.

[Not_Average]

We disagree, so you're going to have me google a mental deficiency in an attempt to make me feel lesser about myself. Is this habitual behavior?

[thotmas97]

Oh just shut up you insecure weirdo

[Not_Average]

@thotmas97

The internet serves as a safe haven in which you can insult and put others down without any social ramifications. The people who are the most inflammatory online are typically the most secluded and reserved in real life from what I've noticed. If you insult and put others down merely because of a disagreement, it speaks wonders about your character rather than mine. If you derive a sense of superiority by attempting to put others below you, then you have some unresolved issues. Happy and confident people don't tend to fall into this trap.

[thotmas97]

Oh my god you’re so pretentious it’s not that deep I just find you insufferable

[thotmas97]

Dunning Kruger really should be your handle

[Not_Average]

@thotmas97 I disagree. I believe this is a very surface level perspective.

[Not_Average]

More insults though. Sure.

[thotmas97]

Oh yeah? Very surface level, huh?

[Not_Average]

@thotmas97 Yeah my mom taught me this in middle-school tbh. I don't think it's that deep at all

[thotmas97]

The thing is, what he said wasn’t really an insult, he was pointing out that you have absolutely no expertise in the field you’re talking about yet believe you’re qualified to lecture others on it, even those with expertise in that exact field. That’s a textbook example of the dunning Kruger effect.

[thotmas97]

Now if I were to say that you strike me as an insecure pretentious pedant who hides behind flowery language and a false sense of superiority that comes with casually talking down to anyone who disagrees with you, that would be an insult. You’re right, most people don’t tend to be as insulting through screens. Most people also don’t try to lecture people and act like they’re some intellectual because they can recite high school level science facts. That’s something insecure people do when they *really* want to be acknowledged, and behavior most people grow out of.

[Not_Average]

@thotmas97 I don't think you need a PhD to realize that someone is losing their cognitive ability though. What's specifically happening is something I have no knowledge of, but I believe basic social competence allows us to discern certain characteristics of others. If someone is of lesser intelligence, you can typically tell. If someone is manipulative in a relationship, you don't need a degree to piece it together. You can drive a car, notice you need to change the oil without needing to understand how the entire internal combustion engine works. I have no idea as to what specifically is happening in his brain, but I can use basic discernment to gauge that he seems to be declining which is typical for his age.

[Not_Average]

@thotmas97 You might not know me, but I'm not attempting to use a different vocabulary for you to look at me differently. I speak the same all around.

[TadCurious]

The media knows. Everyone knows. The media don't address this for political reasons.
