PBS Host Says People Who Blast Media Cover-Up of | Political News
In this episode of “Your Tax Dollars at Work”…
On Friday’s version of PBS’s “Washington Week with The Atlantic,” host Jeffrey Goldberg trotted out CNN’s disgraced host Jake Tapper and his co-author Alex Thompson to spin the ever-loving crap out their controversial bestseller, “Original Sin.”
Goldberg astonishingly and shamelessly insisted the left-wing media did not take part in the cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s catastrophic cognitive collapse. And Goldberg being Goldberg, he “forgot” to embody the 2023 video of his ridiculous declaration that Biden was “mentally fairly acute“:
THE ATLANTIC’s MARK LEIBOVICH: Can I just really just level out, though, that, I imply, it’s not just making an challenge of Biden’s age, it’s mendacity, it’s saying he’s senile, saying he’s demented, saying he’s out of it. I imply, I believe it’s important to kind of state for a reality that a lot of these are just —
GOLDBERG: Right. Mentally, he’s fairly acute.
LEIBOVICH: It looks like it.
Uh-huh, sure he did, Mr. Goldberg.
Yet, even now, Goldberg stays among those in quasi-official Democrat state media who absurdly proceed to insist the left-wing media did nothing incorrect — and certainly wasn’t duplicitous while it commonly lied to viewers about mumbling ol’ Joe being sharp as a tack.
In different phrases, in Goldberg’s case, your tax {dollars} at work — as PBS continues to push absurd left-wing narratives.

Anyway, this is how issues went down on Friday (emphasis, mine):
JEFFREY GOLDBERG: Yes. You know, one of the fascinating topics right here that’s come out in the previous week, as you guys are speaking about the e book, is the function of the media. I do not need to do like an prolonged media criticism right here, particularly because I’m not sure it is really right. You had been doing reporting in 2023. You had been bringing this up. There’s a quote that I need to show you. It’s really — I imply, it isn’t just you guys. Ezra Klein was asking questions, The New York Times and Wall Street Journal. I need to show you a quote from Mark Leibovich writing in The Atlantic in June of 2022.
JAKE TAPPER: Yes, one hundred pc.
JEFFREY GOLDBERG: And the article known as, “Why Biden Shouldn’t Run in 2024.” [Quoting] “Biden is by no means the more eloquent character he was in his younger days. It could be painful to watch him get prepared speeches. His tone could be tentative and certain sentences, can become hop-scotching journeys. His aides in the room look visibly nervous at times,” and so on. I do not perceive how this narrative has developed that no one in the media — that the media was overlaying for Biden.
I believe what could be going on right here is a lack of understanding about how reporting works. In order to show that he is diminished, you will have to have people, sources inside telling you this.
Setting apart most of the above crock of crap, Goldberg’s suggestion that “you have to have people … inside” confirming a story is past ludicrous.
Not to nitpick, but investigative journalism is about investigating — not merely being informed by those under scrutiny whether or not or not assertions against them are right or false. Goldberg’s excuse was past laughable.
PBS @WashingtonWeek with The Atlantic host @JeffreyGoldberg actually stated this on tonight’s show: “I don’t understand how this narrative is developed that the media was covering for Biden. I think what might be going on here is the lack of understanding about how reporting works.”… pic.twitter.com/nSHL6xifyd

Tapper, who continues to be skewered for his complicity in the cover-up as he makes the rounds hawking his e book, replied:
I believe it was one Fox anchor referred to as him Sippy —- Joe Sippy Cup Biden or whatever. They had been saying issues along those traces and they had been making a larger deal about doubts about his acuity than it may very well be stated the legacy media was.
Oh, Jake — bless your duplicitous self.

“Sippy Cup” Biden or whatever. Fine.
How about Joe “wanders into the rain forest” Biden, or Joe “tries to shake hands with the air” Biden, or Joe “gets lost on the stage and his pretend-doctor wife comes out and drags him off” Biden.
Are those higher? Of course they’re — and every one of them, true.
