In the world of political theater, few things are as entertaining as the ongoing saga of alleged media bias and the curious case of the so-called “cover-up” involving the current president. It’s a tale as old as time—well, at least as old as the last few administrations. What’s particularly interesting this time around is how a narrative has been spun around a notion that the sitting president was somehow not in command of the country for the past four years. Of course, the only thing more shocking than this alleged cover-up is the audacity with which it has been purportedly orchestrated.
According to recent discussions, some suggest this is the biggest political scandal in American history. Apparently, during these last few years, crucial decisions were supposedly covered up and glossed over by the media, leaving Americans without a clear understanding of who was running the show. The depiction here is one of a media that conveniently turned a blind eye, while our fearless leader appeared to struggle with simple daily tasks. All in all, it paints a picture of a media landscape that cheesily seemed more interested in playing PR agent than acting as a watchdog for our democracy.
Now, cast your mind back a few years to when Donald Trump, in all his vibrant vigor, had a minor stumble at West Point due to slick conditions and dress shoes—a perfect recipe for a media frenzy. What ensued was nothing short of a circus, with analysts practically breaking into song and dance about his alleged physical and mental instability. And yet, when the current president faced his challenges, those same critics were oddly silent, proving once again that they have a remarkable talent for selective outrage.
What takes the cake here is the media’s alleged coddling of Joe Biden’s performances—or lack thereof. When it comes to public events, his schedule has been as sparse as a hairless cat in winter, yet his predecessor was the Energizer Bunny of politics—endless speeches, media engagements, and a penchant for irking the press at every turn. It begs the question: Who was minding the store during times that demanded swift and decisive leadership?
The possibility of a world crisis—imagine a scenario involving the nuclear launch codes transported by an aide—fills the air with a sense of drama. Just imagine the chaos, the pandemonium! A world leader needs to be omnipresent and in control, not partaking in leisurely beach outings while the world potentially teeters on the brink. As it stands, it seems past time for Congress to step up, peel back the layers of secrecy, and uncover who held the reins of power these past few years. As ironic as it seems, transparency might just be the best policy for all involved.
