Right Wing Journalism in Action

Above is the front page on today's New York Post, headlined "Meander in Chief" referring to a picture of President Biden supposedly wandering off into an open field while at the G7 summit in Italy. The sub-head says "Biden embarrasses US with confused wanderings at world conference."
Except that if you look at video footage from which this still photo was carefully procured, it shows Biden turning around and walking toward a group of US service personnel who had just parachuted into the field to congratulate them, giving them the thumbs up. No "meandering" here, just a typical hit job by the right wing media.

This is why a lot of people think Biden is a doddering senile old man. But he doesn't give speeches about electric batteries and sharks.

Really. It doesn't matter what he is doing or not doing. Look at the way he moves. Look at the way he is stiff as a board most times. Look at the lost and blank expression on his face. He displays the same characteristics as someone I knew and loved as she was going through the stages of Alzheimers and losing herself. It is sad. And the other leaders know it.
Keep deluding yourselves. The man should be in care. This is abuse, not only of Joe Biden, but our country as well.

Biden moves slowly. He's 81 years old; a lot of people that age move slowly and carefully because they are very aware of the possible consequences of a fall. Somehow, the "lost and blank expression on his face" never shows up when he's giving a speech or holding a press conference or talking with world leaders or meeting the public. Could someone who's in that bad a shape have delivered his recent D-Day address or the State of the Union Address? Again, examine enough footage of a man whose every public move is filmed, and you can find a picture or a few seconds of film where he's distracted or thinking about something. If I went around filming you all day every day, I'm sure I could make you look goofier than anything that's been shown about Biden.
And if world leaders are that concerned about Biden, why haven't any of them said so, even on background. The only people who are claiming that he's losing it mentally are some Republicans who often tell reporters different things in private. And if Biden is so senile, how is he able to out-negotiate people like Kevin McCarthy and Mike Johnson who are decades younger?

Look. I have stated my views on this issue. You can keep posting your side's propaganda. It is a waste of your time. I occasionally get fooled by my side's propaganda, but when I do I admit it. And I try not to fall for it again.
If ever, by chance, you stumble upon something that might change my opinion on some issue I have already stated my opinion on, I will consider it. But be confident that I have probably heard every bit of propaganda your side has smothered the internet with, because I am bombarded with it anytime I do any kind of internet search on the subject I am interested in.
Please spare us the left's talking points. And if you ever find something that stands out that you think I might not be aware of that might make me reconsider my already stated opinion, be my guest and post it. But I probably am aware of it.

Since you are so in touch with the lies of the right-wing media, perhaps you can use that same skill to inform us of the lies of the mainstream media.
I have yet to see a post from any of you explaining the Hunter Biden laptop story in any rational, logical way. Not to mention the censorship and use of lawfare against those entities that were actually telling the truth on that subject.
And any of the thousands of other examples of left-wing journalism in action.
But I won't hold my breath.

The usual suspects will continue to deny there's anything wrong with Biden right up until he's replaced, then they'll either claim it's a sudden onset problem, or claim they knew it would happen all along.

Not quite as aggressively as the Clinton campaign pushed the Russia collusion story. Question. Did Trump’s campaign actually pay Biden to help create the false story, like the Clinton campaign paid the create the Russia collusion story?

This belongs in the dictionary under "whataboutism." If I were President Biden's lawyer, I'd urge him to file a defamation lawsuit against the
Post for printing something they knew to be false. I can't think of any other way to prevent right-wing media from making in-kind campaign contributions as the communications arm of Donny's campaign.
And there was nothing false about the stories saying that Donny asked for and welcomed help from the Russian government (and is getting it again, by the way). Perhaps you remember, "Russia, if you're listening . . . ." They were, and Donny knew it.
Mueller simply couldn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Russian government coordinated its help with the campaign, which is the standard he had to meet to prove a conspiracy charge. (There's no such thing as "collusion" in the criminal law.) --Bob

That might be another way to force Garland to release the video of Biden which was the basis for not prosecuting him for retaining classified documents that HE HAD NO RIGHT TO HAVE IN THE FIRST PLACE! He escaped prosecution because he was judged mentally incapable.
BTW booby, why won't the DOJ prosecute Garland for the same crime that put Navarro in jail and may put Bannon there too? I thought no one was above the law.

Translastion: I know we're were terrrible people. But don't bring that up while I'm trying to convince others you are terrible people. I need to at least have the appearance of having the moral high ground, even though I don't, as you noted.

They still believe the 'Russian Collusion' narrative, even though their side has engaged in more election interference than Putin could ever dream of.
They still believe Trump's joke, which wasn't even original, was his call to Putin.
They will believe anything they're told to believe. Like men can give birth. Like biden is sharp as a tack. Like the border is secure. Like Trump deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail because his bookkeepers classified a payment to a lawyer as a legal expense. Anything at all.

Exactly. And the unedited videos of the meandering and of the fundraiser in LA are circulating. It looks bad to those without the blinders.

Plus you have to look at the actions of the people on scene. When Biden started going walkabout across Europe, the Italian leader sure thought that he needed to be protected from himself and brought him back to the group.

It would be hard to show you the full context of these five-second clips, since they seem to have been carefully curated from hundreds of presidential speeches, addresses, and press conferences. Everything Biden says or does in public is recorded. Biden stutters; he stumbles over words sometimes. He has for fifty years. And he may momentarily draw a blank on a person's name. I think everyone here has done that at one time or another. And usually Biden catches himself within a couple of seconds. Of course, that part of his speeches doeesn't show up on your gotcha clip. It's just two seconds here, and five seconds there. Put them all together and you get a five-minute video that probably represents every verbal faux pas from Biden over the last year.
One thing he doesn't do is go off for a couple of minutes talking about sharks and electric batteries. The proper term for that is "jumping the shark."

With every post, you show your over-the-top hypocrisy. Show me ONE example of trump, or any other politician (except Mitch McConnell), in or out of context, that shows the feebleness of body and mind that biden shows every day. You are in the tank for the swamp.
Again, if you are so sure, show me one of these episodes in a full context that might make me change my mind. I have done it before, and I will do it again, if you convince me. But I don't think you can. You, to my best knowledge, have NEVER done so. You have no interest in truth, only in your religion: leftist politics.
