Maybe if the media spent as much energy scrutinizing politicians’ health and transparency as they do ignoring real issues like healthcare and wealth inequality, we’d actually get somewhere.

Honestly, it’s about time someone in the media called out the obvious—Biden’s health is a real concern, and the press has been sweeping it under the rug. The double standard is wild; they hounded Trump over every little thing, but now suddenly they want to play nice. The American people deserve honesty about who’s running the country, not another layer of spin. Maybe if the media actually did their job, there wouldn’t be such a trust issue in the first place.

It’s no surprise the media is finally getting called out for hiding Biden’s obvious health issues—if this was Trump, they’d be running 24/7 specials about it.

This is exactly why we need a free, independent press that actually holds politicians accountable instead of acting like their PR team—transparency matters more than party loyalty.
