Fox News guest and conservative talk radio star Cal Thomas unloaded on mainstream media journalists, labeling them “the biggest losers of 2024” for their failed cover-up of President Joe Biden’s obvious mental decline during an explosive segment Sunday.
And it’s a hard truth that more Americans need to hear.
“They covered up for Biden’s mental acuity decline,” Thomas told host Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday”. “And I think it’s a disgrace to the profession that I’ve been a part of for half a century.”
Thomas’ sharp criticism comes after many in the media like CNN commentator Karen Finney recently admitted that Biden’s cognitive deterioration was ignored — or covered up — by mainstream news outlets.
“It was very disturbing to learn late in the year about just how bad — how poor his health has become,” Finney said. “And, like many, I did not realize that it had gotten to that point.”
Separately, CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford said that the most under-reported story of 2024 was Biden’s mental decline, which led to President-elect Donald Trump’s sweeping 2024 election victory.
“Undercovered and underreported, that would be, to me, Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in the televised debate,” Crawford said.
“And yet he insisted that he could still run for president. We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats. It could have changed the scope of the entire election.”
Republican commentator Scott Jennings said that following the media collapse and Trump’s victory, more revelations will emerge about efforts to cover-up Biden’s condition.
“As we continue to learn about the massive cover-up that went on — not about his health, but about his mental acuity — to cover that up, the efforts that were undertaken by the White House staff, by his family — not in the last couple of months, but for all four years,” Jennings said.
Thomas called for “new blood in the media to actually practice journalism instead of practicing politics.
“They covered up for Biden’s mental acuity decline. They covered up on the on the Hunter Biden laptop. Facebook and other social media covered up on the New York Post story about the Hunter Biden laptop,” Thomas said. “The 51 intelligence agencies who the Russia, Russia, Russia thing signed off saying it was true.”
“The media followed all of this. And I think it’s a disgrace to the profession that I’ve been a part of for a half a century. ”
“I wish that we get some new blood in the media to actually practice journalism instead of practicing politics,” he said.
