The White House Correspondents' Dinner recently took place, and journalist Alex Thompson of Axios used his award speech to call out how both the Biden White House and the media mishandled President Biden’s cognitive decline during the 2024 election. Thompson admitted the media missed key parts of the story, which hurt public trust. Chris Cillizza, reflecting on this, argued that Biden’s inner circle knowingly covered up his health struggles, limiting his public exposure, and that while the media was not actively complicit, it failed by not asking tough enough questions—partly due to unconscious bias. Cillizza emphasized the need for independent, honest journalism moving forward to rebuild trust across political lines.
