Is the legacy media still covering up the coverup?
That is why the fourth estate, the media, is so important, because its job is to look at the natural way that power operates and to hold power to account.

As new details continue to emerge regarding the White House cover up of President Biden's decline and those actually running the country, the legacy media is facing new pressure for their role in the scandal.

How is the legacy media involved in the Biden cover-up?

Joining us now is Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips. So Cabot, more evidence has been coming out about what was really going on behind the scenes during Biden's term. What have we learned?
Yeah, the drip drip of stories about Biden has turned into a waterfall this week. On Tuesday, the authors of the new bombshell book, Original Sin, CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson, revealed the existence of what they called a politburo of longtime consiglieres or advisors of Biden who were heavily influencing everything he did. Here they are talking about that group on The Megyn Kelly Show.

What does Tom Homan say about sanctuary cities?

The people that we're naming would be Mike Donilon, Steve Reschetti. Mike Donilon is his top political advisor. Steve Reschetti is his top legislative advisor. Ron Klain, when he was chief of staff. Bruce Reed, his basically longtime policy advisor. Those are sort of the four. They were known as the Politburo, Gray Hairs, Poobahs, and they were with him the most of anybody. Then there's this other sort of group that aren't the Politburo but are just as powerful, and they were the ones that kept the schedule going. affected personnel and really built the bubble. And that would be Annie Tomasini, who's deputy chief of staff and previously Oval Office operations. And then Anthony Bernal, who was the top aide slash enforcer for First Lady Jill Biden and had incredible influence to the point that even people in the Biden White House would refer to her as one of the most powerful first ladies in history.
And we've also learned that during the 2024 election, Biden's team spent millions of dollars organizing a staged town hall event with handpicked attendees asking pre-written questions for the president to presumably knock out of the park. But according to reporting in that new book, the 90-minute event was a disaster, with Biden unable to string together any coherent answers. As one staffer put it, quote, the man could not speak. It was so bad, in fact, that the campaign never aired any of that footage, flushing millions of dollars down the drain. They ended up blaming poor lighting instead of the president's mental capabilities.
