Axios reporter Alex Thompson suggested the media was duped about then-President Joe Biden ’s cognitive state.
But of course, Thompson wasn’t speaking in good faith, the press was complicit.
The media was well aware of the story and decided to actively suppress and cover it up.
Thompson himself spent much of 2023 running interference for Biden .
The legacy media was involved in “one of the greatest cover-ups and scandals that ever took place in American history” The media didn’t miss Biden ’s decline, they helped cover it up.
And now, in a moment of crisis, they want to position themselves as victims of deceit rather than perpetrators of it.
