Halperin acknowledged that Biden’s presidency wasn’t devoid of accomplishments but argued that the denial of his mental decline by the mainstream media and the administration was deeply problematic. “And I think it’s wrong to say he accomplished nothing. And I think it’s wrong to say that every day he showed a loss of mental acuity,” Halperin explained. “But there’s this bizarre thing where it was denied by the establishment media and the White House.”
The journalist pointed to a peculiar pattern: media outlets temporarily highlighted Biden’s cognitive issues during moments of political convenience, only to downplay them later. “For a couple of weeks they said, ‘Oh yeah, in fact, this loss of mental acuity is a real issue.’ Then he gets off the ticket, and all of a sudden they go back to denying that there’s any issue,” Halperin said.
Critics of Biden’s presidency were quick to seize on the farewell speech as further evidence of his decline. Halperin called the address a striking example of how Biden could not have endured another four years in the White House. “It’s one of the weirdest and most corrupt things I’ve ever seen, and I’m trying to understand it and get to the bottom of it,” Halperin remarked. “But that’s what we saw tonight. Once again, that’s not someone who should be president for four more years by the judgment of any political or medical professional.”
Biden’s speech also drew ire for his comments on social media and misinformation. Despite accusations that his administration weaponized censorship to suppress unfavorable narratives, Biden lamented the state of the information landscape. “Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation. The free press is crumbling. Editors are disappearing. Social media is giving up on fact-checking,” Biden claimed. “The truth is smothered by lies. We must hold social platforms accountable.”
This statement struck many as ironic, given the Biden administration’s aggressive efforts to label content exposing his mental lapses as “misinformation.” Videos capturing Biden’s frequent moments of confusion or freezing up were often flagged or suppressed by social media platforms aligned with Democratic interests.

Mark Halperin’s scathing critique underscores a larger narrative that many Americans feel betrayed by both the media and the White House. The coordinated effort to obscure Biden’s cognitive issues has left a lasting stain on his presidency, leading critics to question the ethical integrity of those entrusted with informing the public.
As Biden exits the political stage, his presidency will likely be remembered less for its policy achievements and more for the contentious debates surrounding his fitness for office and the media’s role in shielding him from scrutiny. For many, Biden’s farewell address was less a moment of reflection and more a stark reminder of the lengths to which political and media establishments will go to protect their own.
