Is anyone else sick and tired of the news media's constant bullying Joe Biden over his age?

We are long past any legitimate concerns about his age and far down the road into bullying. It’s ageist and I find it thoroughly disgusting. How backward are we?

I don’t understand it and it’s pissing me off no end. They are attacking a successful incumbent president of our party. No excuse for it.

ABC morning show and there it was … some young women talking about the need for Biden to step down , and it struck me how she droned on sounding uninterested in what she was saying .
I switched the channel to PBS , life’s too short for that shit

7. Very much so. Focused on Biden's slips of the tongue and ignoring Trump's real-time unfitness and decline.

I don't think it's ever been so obvious how much the media is an ever-dutiful puppet.
