Matt Margolis: wow, Politico is no longer covering up Biden’s cognitive decline

During a speech prep session last year, Biden snapped at an aide: “I would never say this. Where did you get this from?’” The aide explained that Biden had just said it in a public speech a couple of weeks earlier.

…. Obviously, Politico got the memo. The election is over. Trump is out of office. Biden’s cognitive decline is no longer taboo. It can be discussed ad nauseam by the media now because getting Biden into office wasn’t the primary objective of getting him elected.

Biden’s sole purpose was to play the role of an “electable” candidate who could appeal to independents and anti-Trump Republicans under the ruse of being a centrist just to get Trump out of office. For all intents and purposes, Biden’s job is complete, and a San Francisco liberal is now waiting in the wings to take his place at the appropriate time.

While conservative media outlets didn’t shy away from reporting on Biden’s deteriorating mental faculties, the mainstream media tried to pretend they didn’t exist. But the rules have changed now. Expect more anecdotes like the one above to make their way into mainstream media reports.

UPDATE: Of course he still has the NYT, at least for today:
