Today the New York Times published a story claiming that President Biden has privately admitted that his 2024 reelection bid is doomed if he can’t change the minds of the American people within the next few days. After it was published, the Biden campaign revealed that not only is the story false, the NY Times only gave them seven minutes to respond to the story before publication. In other words, the Times wanted to make sure it could hurry up and print this false story without having to include the Biden campaign’s denial.

This comes after Jake Tapper – yes, the same Jake Tapper who put in such an intentionally inept performance moderating the debate that it would have gotten him fired from a job at Wendy’s – was forced to delete several tweets yesterday which falsely suggested that Democratic Governors were looking to oust Biden from the race.

So now we’re at a point where the media is just flat out making shit up about Biden as it desperately attempts to turn “Biden in trouble” into an ongoing ratings-friendly story. The kicker is that Biden went up in three new polls yesterday (and down in one other poll). It keeps becoming more clear that the debate didn’t have a real impact on the election, and that the race is still pretty much tied, as it has been all along. Yet the media is creating a fictional alternate universe in which Biden is so hopelessly far behind, he knows he’s doomed and the rest of his party is trying to shove him out the back door. Again, this race is tied.

The problem, though, is that this is only half the problem. In its haste to make things up about Biden this week, the media is willfully ignoring multiple new brewing Trump scandals. Some new Jeffrey Epstein documents were just unsealed, and Trump’s name is all over them. It’s not a smoking gun, but it’s concerning enough that the media should be asking questions about why a current presidential candidate had such a deep relationship with a molester. There’s also a new scandal involving Trump and a new Saudi Arabian hotel. Shouldn’t the media be asking questions about why a guy who wants to be President again, and who gave such sweetheart military contracts to Saudi Arabia last time he was President, suddenly has a big new real estate deal with them?

And yet it’s just not happening. These new Trump scandals might as well not exist in the eyes of the media. It’s even tricky for honest brokers to try to cover these new Trump scandals, because we’re too busy factually fighting back against the false stories that the media keeps making up about Biden.

This has the feel of 2016 all over again, when the entire media (MSNBC was just as guilty as Fox) spent the entire election hyping a phony Hillary Clinton email scandal while underplaying or ignoring many of Trump’s most alarming scandals and red flags. Of course the media did that because it was certain that Hillary was going to win anyway, and that no harm would be done by its dishonesty. And Hillary would have won if not for that last minute Comey letter.

So keep in mind that even with the media firmly stacked against us, we’re not doomed. Not at all. But we do have to treat the media like it’s a dishonest opponent that has to be continually debunked. This is a three way race. Not between Biden, Trump, and RFK Jr (who’s been quietly self destructing of late), but between Biden, Trump, and the media. And you know what? We’re still going to win. But we’re going to have to do it by spending every day fighting back. So that’s what we’re going to do. Now let’s go win this together. Donate to Palmer Report
