The article criticizes \u200bthe media, \u200bparticularly NBC&#8217;s \u200cChuck Todd, for withholding information about Biden&#8217;s alleged incompetence. It suggests that if the truth\u2063 had been revealed \u2063earlier, the political landscape\u200c might\u2063 have been different. The article concludes \u200bby emphasizing\u200b the \u2064importance of the upcoming election in 2024\u200d and the potential consequences\u200d of allowing corrupt elites to\u200c control the country.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"> <?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/jsaunders\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/jsaunders\/%20\"><span>Joe Saunders<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   July 11, 2024 at 9:53am <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>Two weeks after President Joe Biden disgraced himself on in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fetterman-says-disaster-debate-with-oz-triggered-seismic-shift-into-depression\/\" title=\"Fetterman Says \u2018Disaster\u2019 Debate With Oz Triggered \u2018Seismic&#039; Shift Into Depression\">nationally televised debate<\/a> with Donald Trump, the bad news for Biden keeps getting worse.<\/p>\n<p>His Democratic Party is in disarray as rebellions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/group-house-democrats-want-unseat-biden-cry-actual-tears-plan-falls-apart-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">spurt and fizzle<\/a>.

This is not a new story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It might be enraging to Americans to learn that politicians have been telling establishment media personalities their opinions about the president and that those personalities haven\u2019t seen fit to pass them on. But what Todd said is even worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJonathan, I\u2019m not going to out the cabinet secretary,\u201d Todd said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I had a cabinet secretary two years ago, two years ago, out of the blue asked me, \u2018Do you really think he\u2019s gonna? He can\u2019t run again like this.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Well, you have more interaction with him than I do.\u2019 And they said, \u2018I don\u2019t have a lot of interaction with him.\u2019 This is a pretty senior cabinet secretary. And this was two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is one of the classic open secrets, or non-versation. It\u2019s the story everyone knows, and everyone is afraid to talk about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Biden, the admission could be the most crushing blow yet.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s more to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone is afraid\u201d in this case apparently includes Chuck Todd, a guy whose simpering face has been a part of the American political conversation going back to the Obama years.<\/p>\n<p>Todd could have used his platform on television, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/chuck-todd-steps-gets-brutal-farewell-present\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when he was hosting<\/a> \u201cMeet the Press,\u201d say, or as NBC\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/biography-chuck-todd-biography-n1240316\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chief political analyst<\/a>\u201d to maybe let the rest of the country in on the fact that Biden\u2019s inner circle, including a \u201cpretty senior cabinet secretary,\u201d thought the president was in no condition to run for re-election back in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Since that also would have clued Americans in to the fact that the guy who\u2019s in the Oval Office is overdue for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-insiders-finally-come-clean-about-trouble-behind-closed-doors-admit-we-are-very-concerned-report\/\" title=\"Biden Insiders Finally Come Clean About Trouble Behind Closed Doors, Admit &#039;We Are Very Concerned&#039;: Report\">quiet retirement home<\/a> somewhere, it might have had a big effect on national politics \u2014 maybe the midterm elections would not have been the red wave that fizzled. Maybe disastrous Democratic programs like the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/biden-truth-inflation-reduction-act-slip-wish-hadnt-called\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inflation Reduction Act<\/a>\u201d would not be law.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the nation\u2019s enemies abroad \u2014 as surely aware of Biden\u2019s failings as Chuck Todd and his cabinet secretary are \u2014 might not have been emboldened to take actions if the United States had been honestly informed about the character of its leader. Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 \u2014 just over two years ago. Hamas invaded Israel in October, far less than two years ago. History is a funny thing.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe if \u201cjournalists\u201d did their jobs in other words, instead of acting as gatekeepers for whatever the Democratic Party might be pushing as \u201ctruth\u201d on any given day, the United States and the world might be in a better position right now.<\/p>\n<p>Heck, and while we\u2019re spitballing like this, maybe that cabinet secretary might have had the patriotism and guts to step forward in public and tell the country exactly what\u2019s going on behind closed doors. (It\u2019s a gut guess here, but does anyone else see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/pete-buttigieg-confronted-camera-people-east-palestine-suffer-things-took-weird-turn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pete Buttigieg<\/a> in this conversation? Sounds like his smirking style.)<\/p>\n<p>It might be that Todd was expecting applause for finally coming clean with his story. But the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/despicable-liar-biden-hammered-for-promising-border-agents-will-pay-for-strapping-migrants-running-them-over\/\" title=\"\u2018Despicable Liar\u2019: Biden Hammered For Promising Border Agents \u2018Will Pay\u2019 For \u2018Strapping\u2019 Migrants, \u2018Running Them Over\u2019\">social media reaction<\/a> was outrage \u2014 and well-justified at that.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">There you have it.

Two weeks after a televised debate with Donald Trump, Biden&#8217;s Democratic Party is in disarray, with rebellions coming and going. Hollywood connections are turning against him, and NBC&#8217;s Chuck Todd revealed that a senior cabinet secretary had expressed doubts about Biden&#8217;s ability to run for re-election two years ago. This information, while not surprising to some, has caused outrage among Americans who feel that the media should have been more transparent about Biden&#8217;s shortcomings.
