Former Meet the Press host Chuck Todd appeared on the Piers Morgan show this week and admitted something that was obvious to millions of Americans over the last few years.
Todd suggested that people in media avoided pointing out signs of Joe Biden’s decline because they were afraid of being perceived as doing something that helps Trump. Everyone knew this, but it’s nice of Todd to admit it.
Most people in media are on the left, and as a result, they are terrified of angering their viewers on the left. So they will even deny reality if it means keeping their fellow tribe members happy.

Chuck Todd Says Legacy Media Downplayed Biden’s Issues Due To ‘Fear’ Of Perception Of ‘Helping Trump’
Corporate media spent years downplaying voters’ and Republicans’ concerns regarding Biden’s mental acuity until his disastrous June 2024 debate against Trump. Todd, on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” said that legacy media members made an error by not focusing on Biden’s problems.
“I sit here, and I’ll defend a little bit of this in that I would argue the reason people were able to come to their own conclusion on Joe Biden is because of the media coverage,” Todd said. “Look, we were subtle. ‘He’s using the back staircase. He’s not using the front staircase.’ ‘Hey, he’s not doing any interviews.’ So there was this reluctance to draw the conclusion, to say, ‘Is he not doing this?’ And that I agree with. That was held back — held back a lot.”
“The only thing I can chalk it up to is this, whatever you want to call it, this fear that some members of the media had sometimes — that they would be perceived as helping Trump if they somehow diminished Biden,” Todd said. “Right? That it was some sort of zero-sum game. And I think this has been the fundamental mistake that many members of the traditional press have done.”

Is there any wonder why trust in the media is at al all time low? These people are not journalists. They’re Democrat party activists playing at being reporters.
