Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again - A book by Jake Tapper

My favorite perspective in all of this is that the “media” is jumping through hoops to point fingers at the White House for the coverup. Guess when the D’s hold the White House, there is no “fourth estate”…

“The term Fourth Estate or fourth power refers to the press and news media in their explicit capacity, beyond the reporting of news, of wielding influence in politics.”

The biggest problem with the media is that they are almost never held responsible for their bad behavior. All you can do is change the channel or cancel subscriptions. CNN and MSNBC and the NYT are drowning in their own ****, others should follow

I can barely stomach anything referred to as "news" anymore. It's all slanted one way or the other...both sides. It's all distorted and it's disgusting. I watch just enough to know what's going on, but I know when I am being manipulated into thinking something...and I don't like it, so I don't subject myself to it more than I need to in order to stay "informed".
It would be great if the lying asshats would be held accountable but I don't see that happening anytime soon. They're calling for hearings and inquiries, but nothing happens. It's sad really. I don't trust anything coming from the media.
On a positive note, I'm not stupid and I'm not a sheep. I watch a lot, and it's amazing what you see when your situational awareness is peaking.
