Did the media covering President Biden miss a story that was right in front of themWhy was it a surprise? Biden's debate problems leave some wondering if the press missed the storyNEW YORK -- President Joe Biden's fitness to serve a second term in office has been a top story since his halting performance in last week's debate against Donald Trump, where the president at times appeared unable to complete or articulate some thoughts in the pressure of the moment. To some press critics who are now reading these stories, there's another question: What took you so long? Under pressure following the debate, Biden has agreed to an interview on Friday with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News, and his team said he would do a news conference next week. If there had been some crisis situation before the debate where Biden's problems were evident, the press might have jumped on the story earlier.
