The Media's Situational Ethics

 Read Christine Rosen's dissection of the media in Commentary magazine. An excerpt:

But in late June, Biden appeared on a debate stage with Trump, and the narrative collapsed. Biden was clearly not up to the task of four more years as president. Like colony-collapse disorder in bees, however, while his supporters fled, Biden remained in charge and was still running for reelection, tended to by an ever-smaller circle of loyalists, namely, First Lady Jill Biden, her staff, and Biden’s son Hunter. The media, given an opportunity to fully report on what they had previously willfully ignored, instead accused the White House of orchestrating a “cover-up” about Biden’s condition, and they largely refrained from any examination of their own complicity in hiding his condition from the public.
