Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana appeared on the Sean Hannity show this week and slammed the media over their hypocrisy on Joe Biden’s mental decline.
Kennedy pointed out that everyone knew what was happening with Biden and called out Jake Tapper for cashing in on the issue after he and other members of the liberal media demonized anyone who brought this up over the years.
He also noted that this is just one more example of how the media has squandered the trust of the American people, as they did with the Russia collusion hoax and other fake news.

My biggest concern with all of this has to do with the state of the media in America today. And let me explain what I mean by that. I watched bits and pieces of the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner this year, and I listened to speaker after speaker, all Washington reporters, all defend “freedom of the press.” And I kept thinking, they wouldn’t have to defend it if they didn’t work so hard to undermine it every day.
The American people saw what I saw, what you saw, for years with respect to President Biden. And I’m sorry President Biden is sick, but we all saw the same thing for years. We saw a president who couldn’t finish a sentence without taking a nap. We saw a president – an elderly man – who talked like he was from outer space. He walked like he was underwater; you could bake a Thanksgiving turkey in the time it took him to walk across the stage.
90 percent of the American media not only never reported that, but when [some] Democrats and many Republicans raised the issue, they pushed back. And this is just one more example of so many members of our media squandering the trust of the American people. There are other examples – the Steele Dossier, the Hunter Biden laptop. I mean, I could go on and on and on. But that, to me, is what makes me want to stick my head in an oven.
Today, the media’s happy after Mr. Tapper’s book’s coming out, the media’s happy to report it. But none of them have taken responsibility for not reporting what was so obvious to the American people. Hypocrisy never takes a vacation around here, I can tell you.

Everything Kennedy says here is accurate. Do people in media realize that everyone can see through all of this?
