But the cracks in that narrative widened after Biden’s performance in a televised debate, which left little room for doubt about his condition. The debate became a turning point, exposing what many say the media had worked tirelessly to ignore.
Speaking on Face the Nation, CBS chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford didn’t mince words when she called Biden’s cognitive decline “undercovered and underreported.” She went on to criticize the media’s failure to address this critical issue during his presidency, noting, “It’s starting to emerge now that his advisers kind of managed his limitations, which has been reported in the Wall Street Journal, for four years.”
Crawford suggested that had the media been more transparent about Biden’s health, the Democratic Party might have pursued a different course for the 2024 election. “We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years, which could have led to a primary for the Democrats,” she said.
Her comments highlight the frustration of those who believe the media’s silence denied voters and even Democratic leaders the chance to confront this issue head-on. Now, reports from outlets like the Wall Street Journal and New York Times are beginning to detail the lengths to which Biden’s team went to obscure his cognitive struggles.
Adding fuel to the fire, a Washington Post article reported that Biden regretted dropping out of the 2024 race and believed he could have beaten Donald Trump. Crawford slammed this notion, saying, “That is either delusional or they’re gaslighting the American people.”
The fallout from this scandal is casting a long shadow over both Biden’s legacy and the media’s credibility. Critics argue that journalists, by ignoring the issue, became complicit in what some are calling one of the most significant cover-ups in modern political history.
Crawford’s remarks seem like an attempt to salvage CBS’s reputation by acknowledging their failure to report on Biden’s health earlier. However, the damage is already done, and the repercussions are only beginning.

As Biden exits the White House, insiders from his administration are expected to shed more light on the strategies used to manage his public image. These revelations could spark a broader reckoning for a media establishment that many say prioritized partisan loyalty over journalistic duty.
For years, conservative voices raised alarms about Biden’s cognitive fitness, only to be dismissed as politically motivated. Now, as the truth begins to surface, the media is facing mounting pressure to answer for its role in downplaying or ignoring a story of this magnitude.
With Biden’s political value diminished, even some allies are breaking their silence. But for many Americans, the real scandal lies not just in Biden’s health struggles but in the media’s willingness to turn a blind eye. As more details come to light, the public will have to grapple with what this means for the future of journalism and the trust it seeks to uphold.
