A month following the 2024 election, The New York Times has acknowledged concerns regarding President Joe Biden's ability to continue in office for another term. This acknowledgment comes after previous assertions by the paper that accusations of Biden's diminished capacity were unfounded.
Earlier this year, The New York Times commented on how videos depicting President Biden in a negative light were being used to question his age and abilities. They stated: "President Biden has many adversaries in this year’s election... And then there is the distorted, online version of himself, a product of often misleading videos that play into and reinforce voters’ longstanding concerns about his age and abilities."
However, recent commentary from The New York Times reflects a shift in perspective. It was noted: “Time is catching up with Mr. Biden. He looks a little older and a little slower with each passing day… it is hard to imagine that he seriously thought he could do the world’s most stressful job for another four years.”
Critics argue that this realization comes too late, with some suggesting that such observations have been evident for some time. As Steve Guest tweeted: “Now the corporate media admits it,” referencing The New York Times' current stance compared to their previous statements.
In June, The New York Times had dismissed claims against Biden as manipulated narratives designed to undermine his image during the campaign season. Now, however, their latest comments appear to align more closely with conservative viewpoints questioning President Biden's readiness for another term.
