The Washington Free Beacon has posted a We Told You So edition of its long-running Biden’s Senior Moments series (video below). Andrew Stiles recalls in the accompanying story (links omitted):
The Washington Free Beacon was neither gullible nor wrong in our assessment of Biden’s health, and we didn’t need “sources” or “inside info” to tell us what we could see very clearly with our own eyes. We launched a weekly video series documenting Biden’s “senior moments” back in July 2022, nearly two years before he bragged about beating Medicare on the debate stage. We sounded the alarm in April 2022, when Biden shook hands with a ghost, and again in September 2022, when he tried to converse with a dead congresswoman, and again in October 2023, when he froze at the podium, and on numerous other occasions.
Meanwhile, the supposedly serious and professional journalists, with their inside access and White House sources, accused those of us who noticed Biden’s obvious decline of promoting dangerous misinformation. They spent plenty of time “reporting” on the right-wing plot to raise questions about Biden’s fitness for office, even though polls showed that more than two-thirds of Democrats thought he was too old to serve another term. They kept interviewing Democrats who put party over country by lying about Biden’s health. They took their word for it, because they’re far less interested in “speaking truth to power” when a Democrat is in charge.
William Voegeli observes in his current CRB essay “All the president’s mental lapses”:
Imagine someone whose only source of news about Joe Biden between 2020 and 2024 was The Daily Wire or The Washington Free Beacon, and someone else in the same period whose only source was CNN or The Washington Post. Which news consumer would have been better informed about the realities of Biden’s cognitive decline? Which one would have been less surprised that the Biden who showed up at the June 27 debate appeared, in the language of the Post’s November 8 editorial, “dazed, confused, tired and inaudible”? The answer should give many people pause.
This should give readers an idea of what Voegeli was talking about.
