Press

Carl Bernstein, of Watergate fame, has been a consistent supporter on President Biden. He often appeared on CNN and MSNBC talking about Biden. He is an investigative reporter who looks for big stories but he failed to see the story surrounding Biden's cognitive decline or did he. After the debate debacle he said that he knew of 15 or 20 times in the past year and one half of cases where Biden seemed to have cognitive difficulties. As an investigator why did he not report on Biden's condition before last week. Many people have charged that the government hid Biden's condition and that is understandable but why did the press, the guardians of freedom, do the same. Has the press been corrupted and taken sides based on ideology. For many the answer is yes. Many in the press feel it is justified to be biased against Trump because he is a threat to democracy. They have decided that Trump is like Hitler and must be defeated using what ever means necessary. The voters cannot be trusted to pick the best candidate because for the most part they are low information people meaning they do not have the savvy that the press has to make a sensible decision. For some this type of thinking is a threat to democracy.
