New York Post editorial board demands journalists be held accountable for hiding Biden's decline

The New York Post demanded in an editorial Wednesday that journalists who participated in covering up President Joe Biden's mental decline be held accountable. 

"Dem-friendly journalists saw the same evidence as the rest of us that Biden was compromised, and instead of being skeptical, asking questions and putting the White House’s feet to the fire — doing their jobs — they joined the crusade to gaslight America," the Post wrote in a new editorial.

Following President-elect Donald Trump's victory, stories began coming out about President Joe Biden's mental state and how it wasn't that great while he was in office. 

The Wall Street Journal put out an opinion piece titled "The President Who Wasn't There" and it featured Biden White House staffers who said the president's mental decline was obvious on certain days and his "staff seemed to be running things."

Multiple polls during Biden's administration showed that many Americans thought he was too old to be president and some had called out the mental decline from the start of his presidency.

In 2022, roughly 75% of voters wanted a Democrat other than Biden to run, according to the Post. 

"The entire idea that Biden was anything but healthy — virile, even — was treated as a right-wing, tin-foil-hat talking point," the Post's piece continued.
