Liberal Media Flips On Biden

Over the past weekend, a series of editorials in The New York Times critically examined President Biden’s fitness for office, raising concerns about his age and mental acuity in light of a special counsel’s report questioning his handling of classified documents. These editorials, appearing on the typically left-leaning pages of the Times, offered pointed evaluations of Biden’s capacity to lead, with columnist Ross Douthat suggesting the president might consider stepping aside from the 2024 race at the Democratic National Convention. Douthat painted a stark picture of Biden, likening him to a dimming lightbulb, emphasizing not senility but extreme frailty in his public appearances.

In a piece titled “The Challenges of an Aging President,” the Times’ editorial board highlighted the unprecedented territory Biden’s reelection bid, at his age, ventures into, prompting reflection on the implications for American governance. Criticism was directed at Biden’s recent performance during a press conference where he responded defensively to the special counsel’s report, exacerbating doubts about his cognitive sharpness. The editorial stressed the need for steadiness and capability from a presidential candidate, qualities perceived as lacking in Biden’s response.

At 81, Biden stands as the oldest sitting U.S. president, and concerns about his ability to serve have been amplified following the special counsel’s assessment of his memory and recall. Despite being cleared of wrongdoing, the report depicted Biden as a sympathetic yet forgetful figure, sparking renewed debate about his candidacy. Douthat’s assertion that Biden should not seek reelection echoed sentiments predating the special counsel’s remarks, underlining doubts about Biden’s sustained political viability over another term.

Douthat proposed a scenario where Biden could gracefully exit the race, preferably during the Democratic National Convention, allowing delegates to select his replacement and avoiding the predicament of endorsing Vice President Harris, whom he deemed even less likely to defeat former President Trump. Biden’s adamant defense of his memory and age notwithstanding, questions persist about his ability to navigate the rigors of a reelection campaign and effectively lead the nation.

Critics argue that media scrutiny of Biden’s age lacks parity with coverage of Trump’s gaffes and missteps, highlighting a perceived double standard. They point to testimonials from various officials attesting to Biden’s fitness, suggesting a broader narrative of unfair portrayal. Columnists like Maureen Dowd implore Biden’s team to address concerns transparently rather than maintaining a facade of invincibility, while Doug Sosnik draws parallels to past elections to underscore the complexities of Biden’s reelection bid in the face of age-related skepticism.
