Trump Skips Questions for a Day, This CNN Reporter Melts Down

For four years, the media turned a blind eye to the obvious cognitive decline of President Joe Biden. When they weren't ignoring the issues that were apparent to the rest of us — the stammering, the tightly-controlled appearances, the wandering off — they were attacking the people who did notice, calling videos of the clearly unwell President "cheap fakes" and dismissing Biden's problems as a stutter.

Contrast that to Donald Trump, who has spent hours answering countless questions from the media before, during, and after his first term and again in his second. In the first month of this term alone, the President answered more than 1,000 questions. That far outstrips both Biden and Obama.

But that's not good enough for the media, apparently. Yesterday, President Trump declined twice to take questions from the media, and it caught the attention of CNN's Kaitlan Collins. The first was after his Cabinet meeting.

And then again later in the day.

It's simply incredible how the media lack any sort of introspection or common sense. 

For real.

But this next post may be the most telling of all of them.

Check out the date on that: October 4, 2024. A month before the next election and three months before Biden left office. And that was the first time Biden made an appearance at a press briefing.

Yet no one in the media raised any objections.

He was President Ron Burgundy.

The hysteria and the hypocrisy are astounding.

The media ignored Biden's problems or attacked those who pointed them out, and Collins said nothing. Nor did she say anything when her colleague, Jake Tapper, capitalized on the media's malfeasance and wrote a book about Biden's cognitive decline.
