They trashed Trump merrily during his Presidency, pushed Biden over the finish line in 2020, and have carried Biden\u2019s water since then.<\/p>\n<p>And since 2020 the MSM have been carrying more water for Biden than the Ganges in monsoon season.\u00a0Biden\u2019s deterioration has been evident for some years and it became an issue in the 2020 election.\u00a0Brit Hume, one of journalism\u2019s grey eminences, posed that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/267532\/brit-hume-senility-is-overtaking-biden\/\">Biden was senile<\/a>\u00a0based on his manner, behaviour and actions.\u00a0MSM \u201cfact-checkers\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/267532\/brit-hume-senility-is-overtaking-biden\/\">protected the precious candidate<\/a>.

Appearances were controlled, press conferences limited and interviews permitted only in controlled scripted environments such as with celebrities or on late night talk shows.\u00a0Biden\u2019s deteriorating physical condition, as well as his mental decline, were covered up by his handlers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2024\/07\/how-past-presidents-have-hidden-their-infirmities-just-like-biden\/\">in a number of ways<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This year, two events began to poke serious holes in the view that Biden is just old. Last year a Special Counsel, Robert Hur, was appointed to conduct an investigation into the finding of classified documents at Biden\u2019s residences. He reported his findings in January.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/24414255-report-from-special-counsel-robert-k-hur-february-2024\">The report<\/a>\u00a0was not kind to Biden to say the least.\u00a0He stated that Biden should not be prosecuted for the documents because a jury would not find him guilty as they would be sympathetic to the fact he was a \u201cwell-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory\u201d. NBC News dutifully provided\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/white-house\/mayorkas-defends-biden-sharp-intensely-probing-detail-oriented-rcna138192\">covering fire<\/a>\u00a0for this by rolling out Democrat operatives to trash both Hur and the report.<\/p>\n<p>Then there were the recent international events such as D-Day and the G7 meetings, where Biden was caught on camera spacing out and wandering off.\u00a0The videos were shown on Fox News and went viral. The Associated Press stepped up for the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-trump-videos-age-cheap-fakes-misinformation-a4f2fb5215e9d46520fbaf1cbd79b0b9\">covering fire<\/a>\u00a0and called them \u201ccheap fakes\u201d, following on from the White House reaction.\u00a0 A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/justinbaragona\/status\/1803072453196861578?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1803072453196861578%7Ctwgr%5Ec1b9d61cc9b369484090cf36b59acc95ed22dfbd%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thedailybeast.com%2Ffox-news-goes-to-war-with-white-house-over-cheap-fake-videos\">bemused Fox News<\/a>\u00a0said the videos \u201chave not been cropped, they have not been sped up or slowed down or edited in any way\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And then came the debate.<\/strong>\u00a0Biden had slipped in the polls against Trump due to the response from voters to seeing a candidate pursue the Kafka-esque strategy of putting an opponent on trial.\u00a0And so Biden and his handlers came up with a cunning plan \u2013 to challenge Trump to a debate in an environment they believed they could control.\u00a0They set the rules, selected the moderators (CNN, who had earlier\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/politics\/417938\/donna-brazile-finally-admits-she-shared-debate-questions-with-clinton-campaign\/\">supplied the questions in advance<\/a>\u00a0to Hillary Clinton in a 2016 debate), had no audience that would cause Biden to lose focus, and banned any cross-talk to limit Trump\u2019s quick repartee.\u00a0<strong>Biden spent seven days at Camp David prepping for the debate as if there was nothing else going on that required his attention.<\/strong>\u00a0It was a brilliant strategy and only one thing could ruin it \u2013 the senility of the candidate. It did.<\/p>\n<p>The reaction was immediate from folks believing in Biden.\u00a0Democrats and Never-Trumpers were gob-smacked. But it is fascinating how their surprise was akin to reading the last few pages of an Agatha Christie novel. Massive surprise at the unveiling of the murderer is followed by an \u201coh yeah\u201d as folks think back on the clues that were there all along. These reactions showed up in polls taken over the last few days.

And it did not help that Biden\u2019s face was painted with orange make-up in a vain effort to look as vibrant as his opponent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This story is going to take a while to play out as the Democrat Party is on the horns of a dilemma.\u00a0<\/strong>Biden is still planning on running and if he (or those around him) want him to, he will.\u00a0His delegates (over 90%) have to vote for him on a first ballot at the Democratic Convention in August, which makes him the Democrat nominee.\u00a0Only pressure from Democrats, anxious about a thrashing in November if he heads the ticket, can change this.\u00a0But try that with a cranky, senile, elderly man.\u00a0Also, the $100 million campaign war chest he has raised so far can only be transferred to his VP, Kamala Harris.\u00a0And Democrats, apart from those who want the first POC woman as President, do not want her as she is, unbelievably, more unpopular than Biden with the public. Raising that kind of money and formulating a nationwide campaign is unrealistic with just four months left.\u00a0Whatever strategy is followed, one thing is clear \u2013 the MSM will support whatever path is chosen by the Democrat Party.<\/p>\n<p>Left out of all this is the state of the country.\u00a0The focus at the moment is on Biden the candidate, but it is Biden as President for the next six months that is far more worrying.\u00a0<strong>The MSM and Democrat Party, however, cannot waste too much time on something as trivial as the state of the nation.
