What is Jon Stewart's take on the media's treatment of Biden's health?
Don't news people have to tell you what they know when they find it out? Isn't that the difference between news and a secret? You won't believe what we found out. No, that's why I'm watching. Breaking news! Now, I don't know how the rest of the country is feeling about this book coming out, but I know New York is hyped.
New York City, baby! The city! The city that never stops reading.
That's our motto. Our motto is... I'm kidding, of course. That is footage from the reopening of the Frick Museum. By the way, it is New York, so you know the real name of the museum is the F*** Collection. They just put it up there like, hey, the frigging collection? What are we doing here? So what is this bombshell book about?
A new book is outlining new claims about former President Biden's physical and mental health. The book, Original Sin, claims Biden's health had become so severe that there were internal discussions about putting the president in a wheelchair. He allegedly was napping during debate preparations. Another bombshell. Former President Biden apparently forgot the name of his longtime aide, Jake Sullivan, and called him Steve. My God!
To be fair, when you forget a white guy's name, to be fair, and I say this with respect to the bombshell, Steve is not a bad guess. I think even Jake Sullivan at some point was like, is my name Steve? Because when I look in the mirror, I could be a Steve. Or Scott, maybe a Craig. The point is, the American news media were hungry for more. A new Biden bombshell. Dropping bombshell allegations. A steady drip of new revelations. Damning claims. Damaging new details.
Oh my goodness, they're dripping with details. A massive tsunami. The drip drip on Joe Biden's decline.
My God, Fox News built an entire Biden sucks border wall to hold back the raging drips of details and bombshells. Nothing could slow down this coming feeding news frenzy about Biden's cognitive health other than maybe a report on his actual physical health, which was not good. But now we got ourselves a little problem. You've prepared an entire smorgasbord Smorgasbord. Charcuterie board. You know what I'm talking about. Meat and cheese. You know what I'm talking about. Entire smorgasbord based on what you thought would be a relatively uncomplicated story about mental decline. News has the countdown clock. They got the book graphics. They got the CNN Happy Meal tie-in toys. But now, doing the story seems almost disrespectful. Can CNN thread the needle?
