A gross double standard was on display in the New York Times regarding two presidents, Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump, each facing accusations of being too old and having memory lapses. Times reporter Gina Kolata recently defended President Biden, “Memory Loss Requires Careful Diagnosis, Scientists Say." The subhead continued: "A federal investigator said that President Biden had “poor memory” and “diminished faculties.” But such a diagnosis would require close medical assessment, experts said.” Expert Shopping is in! Republicans were quick to pounce, some calling the president unfit for office and demanding his removal. Apparently the “close medical assessment” required of Biden wasn’t needed when it came to diagnosing President Donald Trump as mentally unfit.
