president biden's stumbling multiple
times as he boarded air force one
yesterday and the media taking
a little bit different approach to
covering compared to the last time
a president had some trouble it was
president trump at west point
going down a ramp take a look he just
has a hard time going down a gently
sloping ramp
but do you see something possibly
neurological
that could be throwing off his balance
the president himself
as having momentary stumbles momentary
lapses and you know it looks straining
for a word
oh wow let's bring in fox's contributor
and media opinion columnist for the hill
joe koncha to react joe watching that
coverage uh from the ramp i just i
really can't certain things i just
really can't stomach it's too ridiculous
but i want to show you some headlines
cnn headlines in particular then
versus now then this is cnn june 15 2020
why
donald why the donald trump west point
ramp story actually matters and now you
have
from mark 19 20 21 white house says
biden is 100
fine after he tripped boarding air force
one so obviously we have
a bit of a disparity here in terms of
the coverage your thoughts joe
yeah all we want is just a little
consistency if you're going to cover
trump that way
again this was a ramp at west point uh
pete
will you know you wear dress shoes on
anything like that without a railing
you're going to walk carefully i don't
care if you're in your 30s like we are
or or donald trump in his 70s yet this
was the coverage
then and then last night you watched cnn
msnbc
this was a non-story and the best part
is that cnn just gobbled up the fact
that the white house said that it was
the wind that blew over the president of
the united states not once not twice but
thrice
if you look at the wind at joint base
andrews yesterday it was about 10
11 miles an hour last check that
shouldn't blow over a human being
multiple times
going upstairs so this is why
again our adversaries are noticing this
sort of stuff not just
the physical stumbles but the verbal
stumbles with mr biden
as well when he calls doesn't even know
the name of the defense secretary that
was just confirmed or the fact he
doesn't know where his defense secretary
works in the pentagon
or again yesterday guys he calls vice
president harris
president harris this is a president
that was going to atlanta yesterday and
that's all well and good but then the
next flight should be
to our southern border where there is a
crisis going on to the point where it's
a disaster because fema is there
but he's not doing that for whatever
reason so yeah you see china
mocking our secretary of state on u.s
soil yesterday accusing us of human
rights which is rich coming from the ccp
or you see russia's vladimir putin
challenging president biden
to have a public phone call that is
broadcast because he knows
that a press conference uh you know
adverse
president who hasn't had one or won't
have one for nine weeks probably can't
handle an extemporaneous call with a
former kgb leader so this is the result
of of what we're seeing here our
adversaries are noticing weakness
with our president and the
administration and they're gonna exploit
and as
they can guys as a regular folks the
media may not want to cover it but i
guarantee you three or four of your
family members sent you that
video yesterday as did everybody else
saying holy cow look at this is
it this is uh this is serious and legit
you're right about that absolutely
including relatives that support
this is one of those things biden look
at you go this is not one this is two
this is
three uh we got to be asking questions
here here's another reason it matters
because his health while barely
mentioned by the so-called mainstream
press in the
presidential election was at issue and
joe biden
actually mocked then president trump in
september of 2020 about the ramp listen
that's right biden is jabbing back
pointing to mr trump's slow descent down
a ramp at a west point commencement
earlier this year
look at how he steps and look how i
stepped
watch how i run up ramps and he stumbles
down ramps
okay come on joe come on
come on washington post june of 2020
with the west point
incident if you want to call that
because somebody walk carefully trump
mocked by late night hosts for slow walk
down
west point ramp uh guess how many times
colbert
and kimmel and fallon and seth meyers
tackled
joe biden falling three times up a ramp
yesterday uh it's the number you get
when you multiply something by zero
zero because we don't offend anybody by
doing any sort of uncomfortable comedy
so yeah that's that's the thing it's
just
joe are they ever going to ask the
question is this question ever going to
become front and center
were you aware of the scandal that hid
his health problems to it
by the administration or campaign
officials will that ever become a real
question that's asked
did you know how bad it was
i'm going to say that today pete is
rhetorical saturday and therefore that
is a rhetorical question
well the answer to that question the
answer to that question joe of course
lies in whether or not we have a true
honest unbiased
or even balanced media a d.c circuit
court judge is questioning
that very premise here is lawrence
silberman he said this in a dissent
in a case recently said the increased
power of the press is so dangerous today
because we are very close to one party
control of these institutions one party
control of the press
and the media is a threat to a viable
democracy two of the three most
influential
papers at least historically the new
york times and the washington post are
virtually democratic party broadsheets
nearly all television network and cable
is a democratic party
trumpet even the government-supported
national public radio
follows along again that is a federal
judge's words
on an indictment here of where our media
culture is and you know what's striking
joe
the few institutions that do not follow
along with that lock step
group think they are the targets for
attempted shutdowns or ad boycotts or
whatever it might be
wow i mean if i didn't have you know
this thing called ifb an earpiece or you
know this microphone that's a little you
know not a very long wire i'd stand and
clap right now
for that judge because he is exactly
right particularly when it comes to the
new york times in washington post
again new york times has not endorsed a
republican president for canada
for a republican president uh since 1956
in terms of those elections the
washington post has never
endorsed a republican president uh
presidential candidate
period and yeah when you talk about
mouthpieces gallup poll 86
of the american people think the media
is biased in 1976
72 percent actually supported the media
and trusted it so that number has been
turned on and said 84
say it bears the blame for division in
our country 79
according to the survey monkey and axios
believe that and this is 79 of
independence by the way so take the blue
team the red team out of this
say that the media knowingly reports
news they know
to be false so yeah i'm surprised that
we're not hearing more of this from
federal judges
in terms of the interpretation of the
way the media is doing its job at this
point which is unfortunately
to serve one party instead of
challenging those in power regardless if
the republican democrat or otherwise
guys
wow joe koncha bringing the stats today
thanks joe we love having you as always
i also picked ohio state in my
ncaa poll so you know go figure you
could be wrong too on tv
there you go we'll see you again soon
