The White House is reportedly fed up with a video that appears to show President Joe Biden experiencing cognitive decline and the right-wing media’s coverage of it.
Report from the Daily Beast Tried The outlet debunked a series of videos showing the president appearing to be experiencing cognitive decline as either misrepresented or misleadingly edited. They did not mention that the president has had public gaffes and memory problems in recent months. From the article:
In a statement to The Daily Beast, the White House expressed indignation over the so-called “cheap fakery” and argued that it reflects a lack of journalistic ethics among many conservative publications.
The practice of distributing deceptively edited footage of political opponents has been increasingly used by Republican lawmakers and conservative publications in recent weeks to highlight issues, particularly related to Biden’s age.
The Daily Beast and the White House specifically took issue with a video of Biden appearing to freeze onstage at a Hollywood fundraiser — from certain angles — and another video some social media heavyweights filmed of the president in Italy. Said The president just resisted sitting down so quickly that he pooped in his trousers.
Even with these examples in mind, neither the Daily Beast nor the White House failed to address the numerous instances where Biden seemed a bit confused or made false statements that had absolutely no bearing on the facts, such as the president claiming to be the “vice president” during the pandemic, or the very fact that special counsel Robert Hur said in his report that Biden had trouble remembering when his son Beau died.

White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said right-wing media outlets were ignoring “ethical standards” in their coverage of Biden’s affairs.
“Rupert Murdoch’s pathetic little super PAC, the New York Post, which was just fact-checked by at least six mainstream media outlets for lying about President Biden in a cheap fake story, has once again disrespected its readers and itself,” Bates said. “Their ethical standards are going to need to thaw a bit.”
“By pretending there’s something wrong with the president taking a few seconds to look at the applauding crowd, they are once again admitting they cannot compete with leadership that is driving the world’s strongest economic growth, driving violent crime to a 50-year low, bringing back overseas manufacturing jobs and strengthening alliances,” he added.
For context, Bates was referring to the following video, which was also reported by Breitbart News:
