The media making all the same mistakes it did in 2016

Friend, last Friday, Donald Trump delivered one of his most [confused and unhinged]( speeches ever, forgetting what day of the week it was, [echoing Hitler's "final solution,"]( and making up more lies than I care to count. But you might be forgiven for missing it if you read the New York Times this weekend because there you'd be treated to SEVERAL stories about President Biden's age. Just check out some of these headlines: - [The Challenges of an Aging President]( - [Mr. President, Ditch the Stealth About Health]( - [Yes, Biden’s Age Matters]( The media's hand-wringing over President Biden's age and breathless coverage of every slip-up that he makes—no matter how small—gives me flashbacks to the nightmarish [coverage]( of Hillary's 2016 campaign, when news outlets obsessed over Clinton's "scandals" while giving Trump's core issues, like immigration, more straight news coverage.
