When Fox News host Greg Gutfeld decides to rip the left to shreds, it's "game, set, match" before he's halfway through. Such was the case on Thursday night when the quick-witted host of "Gutfeld!" ripped the so-called "mainstream" media for covering up (blatantly lying about) President Joe Biden's obvious cognitive decline.
This one was over before it began — with a bit of caustic humor tossed in for good measure.
Gutfeld, also co-host of Fox's hit show "The Five," declared in his opening monologue that "truth took the back seat" as the media continued to tell "the biggest lie in the history of presidential politics" by continuing to insist that Biden remained sharp as a tack, while everyone on the planet not a Democrat knew better.
So where was the media ... when it was obvious Biden was 25th Amendment material?
[...]
They told the biggest lie in the history of presidential politics: Joe Biden is fit to serve. Yeah, to serve what? Carrots to his imaginary pet bunny? But they parroted these lies because they were cowards, all of them. And Hollywood was no better. Comedians suffered the same weakness, claiming they were pressured to stay in line. Here's Jim Gaffigan admitting that people told him not to criticize Joe or Harris.
Cuts to video of Gaffigan:
What I thought was interesting about this election is–and maybe because it was so important and maybe because it was such a short election for Kamala–that people were like, don't criticize her. And I'm like, that's actually bad to have that approach. And I think hindsight, a lot of people feel that way.
Gutfeld then mused about why most comedians refused to broach the Biden issue, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris' fraud of a presidential campaign.
The question is who pressured them to stay in line? Did either comic have a boss who might fire them? No. They stayed in line because their agents, managers and their own wallets told them to. And also their peers. They were scared of upsetting people they wanted to impress. What if they ran into Seth Rogen at Whole Foods? Or Chelsea Handler at the free clinic? Or Leo DiCaprio at their daughter's high school graduation?
While partially true, we also saw TDS-riddled "comedians" like NBC's Seth Meyers, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel, and CBS's Stephen Colbert eagerly defend (lie about) Biden and his pretend-mental soundness at every self-created opportunity.
So What Happened to Comedians Who Did Go After Biden and Harris?
Gutfeld was all over this one, including referencing conservative comedian and "Gutfeld!" writer Joe Machi in classic Gutfeld style.
Meanwhile, comics with real guts for the past four years, well, they were on this show or writing for it behind the scenes. They said what they thought and they shared the risk. They told the truth about what they saw and they lost work for it. Nick DePaulo says he's been canceled more times than a Chris Christie gym membership.
But they lost jobs and they lost friends. I hear Joe Machi couldn't get l*** this entire time as well as before or after. Fortunately, the show helped them pack halls and clubs, and now suddenly everyone else agrees with them and us, without ever admitting we were right, of course. But hey, it only ended up costing them an election and the public's goodwill. Better luck next time, guys. Maybe then you'll have grown some b****.
"Period!" as the voiceover says at the end of Gutfeld's monologues.

After getting caught with their left-wing pants down after Biden's disastrous June debate on CNN with soon-to-be President Donald Trump and the subsequent ending of his miserable campaign, some of those who had feverishly worked to hide the president's obvious decline admitted they were wrong — sort of — while some blamed the White House, and others stubbornly refused to admit their complicity.
Meanwhile, the legacy media will no doubt continue to blast Trump every chance it gets (takes) over the next four years.
