CBS Reporter Says Most ‘Underreported’ Story of 2024 Was Biden’s ‘Obvious Cognitive Decline’

There were a lot of stories journalists reported on in 2024.

But according to CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford, the most “underreported” story was concerns around President Biden’s age and acuity, Fox News reported.

“That would be, to me, 👤Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline that became undeniable in a televised debate. Unquestioned,”Crawford said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

Reports from from many outlets have showed some advisers close to the Biden have been concerned about Biden’s health since he became president.

The White House would often talk down questions about his acuity even though there’s video evidence of him being confused.

“It’s starting to emerge now that his advisers kind of managed his limitations. It’s been reported in the Wall Street Journal for four years, and yet he insisted that he could still run for president,” Crawford said.

“We should have much more forcefully questioned whether he was fit for office for another four years,” Crawford added.

She continued, saying media pressure “could have led to a primary for the Democrats.”

“It could have changed the scope of the entire election,” she said. “Yet still, incredibly, we read in The Washington Post, that his advisers are saying that he regrets that he dropped out of the race, that he thinks he could have beaten (Donald) Trump, and I think that is either delusional or they’re gaslighting him.”
