Just a few weeks ago, concern over Biden's addled appearances at the G7 summit was reported on unsparingly by the foreign press without the repugnant "Don't believe your eyes and ears" qualifications applied by the turnspits in the American media.
The only reason anyone ever believed Biden was up to the job is that they were lied to, even though most Americans have always understood Biden has been exhibiting signs of dementia before he ever became president.
The media seemed to care even less when the Biden administration decided to give Iran access to $10 billion more a short time after they were responsible for killing American soldiers.
The media narrative that has been landed on following the debate, which is more a matter of consolation than accuracy, is that while Biden appeared frail and incompetent, his character still shined through standing next to a serial liar like Donald Trump who lied throughout the debate.
A week ago, The New York Times was regurgitating the White House spin that "Misleading Videos Are Trailing Biden As He Battles Age Doubts," as if the voluminous number of videos of Biden stumbling over his words and wandering off on stage were all "Cheap fakes" per the White House's talking points.
Biden may yet withdraw, but if he doesn't, he need not worry whether the media will line up behind him.
Following Biden's debate catastrophe, on MSNBC Jen Psaki asked California Gov. Gavin Newsom, "What should people out there who have social media platforms and like President Biden be pushing out there that was damaging and terrible from Donald Trump tonight?"
