Threats

As the information about former President Biden’s cognitive decline continues to dribble out, the failure of the press comes to the forefront. Democratic leaders, donors and other backers had an incentive to cover up his decline but what was the reason why the press remained silent. One explanation was, that Trump was a threat to democracy and all means should be used to prevent him from becoming president. In other words, the press gave up on its responsibility to report the truth about Biden and chose instead to take on an agenda designed to prevent Trump from winning. Will this now remain as the position the press takes. Will they decide to sway the voters by using misinformation or withholding information. Will they justify their behavior by claiming threats to democracy?
