> In my opinion, mainstream outlets should have scrutinized President Biden’s son and the president’s cognitive health more aggressively. The problem is that right-wing think tanks are constantly trying to spin the tiniest little controversies into full-blown media frenzies by way of sheer vitriolic repetition. This is not something I’ve seen the left do very much of — at least, not with any lasting success. Both of these stories struck me as a lot of smoke without a fire, and any responsible newspaper would say as much. I should also point out that Biden consistently made a lot more sense in his speeches than Trump, and yet the “cognitive health” label stuck to one and not the other.
