CNN Called out Biden's 'Confusion,' Now More Media Is Piling On

Is the liberal MSM starting to talk about Joe Biden’s issues including his coherence and confusion problems?

It seems like they might finally have started approaching the topic, although certainly not calling out everything, as we might.

As we noted over the weekend, in a surprising move for CNN, they were honest and reported on his “confusion” when he was talking about test kits with ABC’s David Muir. He repeatedly called test kits “pills,” then corrected himself and then called them “pills” again even after correcting himself. In a remarkably honest report, CNN took notice of it and pointed out how even the current pledge that the Biden administration made to provide test kits to Americans wouldn’t produce any action until sometime in the future and perhaps was illusory.

“Repeatedly throughout this interview with David Muir, President Biden seems confused and was confusing the half a billion tests that they’ve ordered with a half a billion pills,” Zeleny said. “Of course, pills were in the news today with the Pfizer approval of the anti-viral, so he corrected himself, but that was one thing that stuck out to me.”

Zeleny also points out that the promise for tests in January may be illusory, as well. “There is no sense, from this administration, [tests] will be sent out early in January as the president suggested,” Zeleny explained.

They also ripped him with a brutal comparison to Jimmy Carter’s economic approval numbers, saying that his numbers were now worse than those of Carter.

However, it wasn’t just CNN. Terry Moran of ABC went there, as well, although he used a description not in common use to describe Biden. It sure does fit.

“One of the challenges that Biden has had as president is he seems to a lot of people to be an enervated executive, ” Moran said. “It is partly his age, it’s partly that he hasn’t seized hold of a lot of the issues that people are most concerned about. He’s obviously behind the eight-ball on testing and COVID. And I think people are eager for more energy in the executive and more youth as well.”

Merriam-Webster defines “enervated” as “lacking physical, mental, or moral vigor.” The Oxford Lexico Dictionary defines it as “drained of energy or vitality.” Both are perfect descriptions of Joe Biden. It isn’t just that he’s confused and frequently incoherent, he lacks any energy to approach any of the issues currently bedeviling him. That’s why he has not just been confused about testing, but why he’s said a lot about it, promised tests but then did nothing. Even now, after the media yelled at him on the subject and forced him to say something, any action is weeks off. There’s a complete lack of energy to get things done. It’s just about superficially saying whatever he thinks will go over well to get him through the moment. It’s why everything he approaches from Afghanistan to Build Back Better goes down in flames. He had months to get people out of Afghanistan, we were calling him out since May to do so, but he didn’t. He’s a placeholder to hold the Democrats’ power and it comes across that way, to anyone honestly looking at this administration. As I noted previously, it’s not the Biden Administration, it’s the “Bystander Administration” where things just happen around Joe but none of the bad things are ever his fault.
