    It’s not the media, it is an overwhelming majority of Americans that are concerned.

    Covering your eyes doesn’t actually keep away the boogeyman or reality.

      It’s not the media, it is an overwhelming majority of Americans that are concerned.

      And how do a majority of Americans from their views? I’m not a fan of blaming “the media” for things, but it’s undeniable that they have an impact.

        I mean, the Right is going full force on Biden’s age and Biden/Biden’s staff seem unable or unwilling to forcefully rebut this by putting him out in unscripted moments.

        And frankly, Biden’s age was a concern in 2020. Regardless of how much I want him to win, it would be an absolute dereliction of journalistic duty to not cover it.

        Especially because if Biden is fully with it, a good hard interview (or even an absolute softball like the Superbowl interview) should be the easiest thing in the world.
