ESPN host and sports journalist Stephen A. Smith argued that the media’s lack of coverage of former President Joe Biden‘s cognitive decline has made President Donald Trump look “right” about his criticisms of the Left.

Smith’s assessment came as the release of the book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios‘s Alex Thompson on the Biden cover-up has brought much scrutiny. Among the critics was NewsNation anchor Chris Cuomo, who said the book is both an attempt to make readers think “the media was deceived into thinking Biden had no issues” and a cover-up for how most of the media downplayed Biden’s decline “because they wanted Trump to lose more.”
