Poor Jill, she thinks the NY Times still cares about real journalism.
“It is our duty to poke through White House smoke screens and find out the truth,” Abramson told Semafor.
Where have you been the last 16 years Jill? The leftist media hasn't been doing this since Obamunism.
“The Biden White House clearly succeeded in a massive cover-up of the degree of the President’s feebleness and his serious physical decline, which may be simply the result of old age.
“Shame on the White House press corps for not to have [sic] pierced the veil of secrecy surrounding the President,” she continued, while conceding that it would be “a super hard story” to land with solid Democratic sourcing.
Hold on Jill, you think the White House Press Corps cares about journalism?? Wow!!!
Still, the ex-Times editor, who worked at the left-leaning publication from 2011-2014, said she believes “if enough reporters had pushed, the story was reportable.”
Abramson added that she worries too many journalists “didn’t try to get the story” out of fear of being “accused of helping elect Donald Trump.”
So, they are cowards as well as liars. Good to know.
But the 81-year-old President Biden should still be “held accountable for his obvious lapses of mental acuity, even if there are periods of lucidity,” she declared.
“It is simply astounding for the entire country, including its most seasoned reporters, to be as shocked as everyone was by the ugly and painful reality of Biden’s debate performance,” Abramson said.
Abramson also called it “laughable and immoral for Democrats to blame the press now for over-reacting to that reality.”
I'm betting that Jill would still vote for Biden if he stays on the ticket. Ironic.
