Much has been made in the weeks leading up to President Bidenās tumble at the Air Force Academy graduation regarding the commander-in-chiefās physical and mental capacities⦠unless, according to Fox News contributor Joe Concha, you have been a devotee of the mainstream media. Concha appeared on 710 WORās Len Berman and Michael Riedel in the Morning program to discuss the scrutiny- or lack thereof- that the mainstream media has put on Bidenās aptitude as the 2024 campaign season starts to take shape.
āIāll say this about Joe Bidenās schedule,ā Concha told Berman and Riedel. āThe only thing on his schedule (Monday) is at 4:30pm, when he hosts the Kansas City Chiefs to celebrate their Super Bowl win. Thatās it, so donāt tell me about vibrant. I want to see actions, and as far as actions are concerned, this is a president thatās at 35% approval in the recent CNN poll and 26% approval among independents. I donāt care who the Republican nominee is, whether itās Trump, DeSantis, Nikki Haley. When you have numbers like that, itās very hard to get re-elected.ā
Concha says trust in the media overall has drastically plunged in the last half-century. āIn 1976, three out of four Americans said they trusted the media and trusted the information that was being reported. That has been completely turned on its head and now itās down to like 9% among Republicans and something like 30% overall, so, thatās the thing. You can scream and yell all you want about Donald Trump, or DeSantis is somehow worse than Trump. No one trusts the people that are telling you this stuff.ā
