The New York Times editorial board slammed President Biden’s press conference that he gave in response to Special Counsel Robert Hur’s assessment of his "poor memory."
The editorial – published Friday – declared that Biden’s assurances during the presser that his memory is "fine" "didn’t work," and that they raised "more questions" about his sharpness.
The board then advised Biden that he needs to "do better" to convince the American people that he’s up to the job, especially as former President Trump has a "very real chance of retaking the White House."
The piece began by noting polls showing how a majority of American voters in battleground states "agreed with the statement that Mr. Biden’s ‘just too old to be an effective president,’" and that Hur’s report will further "test trust that the American people have in their president."
It then claimed that Biden’s response to that report made things even worse.
"Mr. Biden’s performance at his news conference on Thursday night was intended to assure the public that his memory is fine and argue that Mr. Hur was out of line; instead, the president raised more questions about his cognitive sharpness and temperament," the board declared.
It added that "he delivered emotional and snappish retorts in a moment when people were looking for steady, even and capable responses to fair questions about his fitness."
Summing it up, The Times said, "His assurances, in other words, didn’t work. He must do better."
It added that "the stakes in this presidential election are too high for Mr. Biden to hope that he can skate through a campaign with the help of teleprompters and aides and somehow defeat as manifestly unfit an opponent as Donald Trump, who has a very real chance of retaking the White House."

It will be interesting to see how Biden reacts to this, will his supporters keep him under wraps or will they panic and put him out in public more often, if they put him in public we likely to see some historic meltdowns by a POTUS.
Continue the flogging until morale improves.
Lol.
Biden has lost the NYT? Shades of Walter Cronkite and the Viet Nam War.

If Biden goes into an anti-semitic rant I am going to be on the floor laughing—he could easily do that.
The Slimes wants him DUmped.
That’s akin to asking a person to be younger....it just can’t and will not happen no matter how much they try.
The NY Times editorial board should “do better” in everything.
Sure. Tell the person afflicted with dementia that “you must do better.” That always works. I’m surprised nobody ever thought of that before.
The left elected a creepy crook with obvious issues with his mental capacity because he is a reflection of them.
The New York Times has forever lost its credibility when its biased owners and editors absolutely refused to investigate or report on the Hunter Biden laptop. They protected the corrupt, criminal Biden and purposely ignored the truth. Decent and rational people realize the New York Times is nothing more than a pseudo sophisticated propaganda platform for the Left.
Usually the dementia guy will cane you in the face...lol.
I really think the NYT is baiting Biden.
The left are shameless liars—and they can stab you in the back as quickly as they propped you up....
nasty nasty folks.
Scumbags from the Slimes to Resident Retard: Smarten up stupid.
Special Counsel Robert Hur not charging Biden for his crimes is like not charging the leader of a German prison camp leader for his crimes because he has a “poor memory.”
No telling how many deaths he’s caused.
He could take a mental test! That would clear everything up.
Not happening of course.
Just like this guy?
