The elephant in the room has been roaming freely for months, even years—yet much of the American mainstream media has chosen to ignore or downplay the increasingly evident cognitive decline of Joe Biden. After his disastrous debate performance, the liberal commentariat's sudden about-face was nothing short of spectacular. Media pundits, Democratic donors, and party bigwigs all turned on Biden. But one voice stood out amidst the mainstream silence—Jen Yuger, co-creator of The Young Turks, has been consistently warning about the perils of sticking with Biden.
What were the mainstream journalists missing that Yuger saw so clearly? Why were they blind to the writing on the wall? Were they in denial, or were they simply too afraid to speak the truth?
Yuger points to several factors, including the bubble-like environment in Washington and the mainstream media's cozy relationship with the powerful. He argues that calling out unfortunate truths about the powerful can lead to loss of access and, therefore, is often avoided. This creates a dangerous cycle where journalists fail to engage with real people, further insulating them from the truth.
The term "Blue MAGA" has entered the American political lexicon, representing the Democratic version of Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement. Yuger describes a hierarchical structure where the donor class controls everything, with politicians and the media serving as their puppets. The actual people, he argues, are left in the dark, influenced by media that is paid to deceive them.
Yuger wrote about the Democrats' chance to electrify the country with an open convention, a dynamic process that could have showcased various candidates. Instead, Kamala Harris was effectively anointed. While Yuger acknowledges Harris's strong start, he believes that an open convention would have been the better path, allowing the strongest candidate to emerge.
The mainstream media's failure to address these issues opened the door for independent outlets like The Young Turks. Yuger's platform has been a beacon of truth, attracting viewers who were disillusioned with the mainstream narrative. This moment has been a vindication for independent media, breaking through the bubble of propaganda and offering a glimmer of hope.
Biden's stance on the Gaza-Israel conflict has cost him critical support among young voters. Yuger believes Harris might change the rhetoric to win back these votes but doubts she will alter the policy significantly. The power of the donor class and the influence of AIPAC on Congress make any substantial change seem unlikely.
As we reflect on these issues, it's clear that the mainstream media has failed in its duty to inform the public. It's a testament to the power of independent media that the truth has finally begun to surface. The question now is whether this momentum will lead to real change or if the powerful will continue to control the narrative.
Stay informed, stay vocal, and let's keep pushing for the truth.
