In the wake of the CNN Presidential Debate, stories about President Biden's health have taken the media by storm. But why is this only being openly talked about now? People are quick to throw metaphoric stones at journalists and reporters, but what if the media's coverage of President Biden's cognitive decline wasn't a conspiracy, but rather a complex interplay of journalistic norms, unconscious biases, and institutional constraints? Perhaps the path forward lies not in accusations, but in a thoughtful examination of how newsrooms function and the subtle ways in which our perspectives shape the stories we tell. Megan McArdle from the Washington Post joins the show to give insight on what the media can do moving forward.
