    It’s not the media, it is an overwhelming majority of Americans that are concerned.

    And how do a majority of Americans from their views? I’m not a fan of blaming “the media” for things, but it’s undeniable that they have an impact.

      I mean, the Right is going full force on Biden’s age and Biden/Biden’s staff seem unable or unwilling to forcefully rebut this by putting him out in unscripted moments.

      And frankly, Biden’s age was a concern in 2020. Regardless of how much I want him to win, it would be an absolute dereliction of journalistic duty to not cover it.

      Especially because if Biden is fully with it, a good hard interview (or even an absolute softball like the Superbowl interview) should be the easiest thing in the world.
