Let me say this as plainly as possible: Elon Musk starting a third party in 2025 would be the dumbest, most self-destructive political move since Ross Perot handed Bill Clinton the keys to the White House in the ’90s. It wouldn’t be bold. It wouldn’t be visionary. It would be idiotic — and, frankly, hurtful […]

As the legacy media continue to demonstrate, their role in helping to cover President Joe Biden’s physical, mental and cognitive decline from the American public is a decidedly uncomfortable matter. Case in point: CBS and ABC omitting from their newscasts that Biden’s doctor, when asked about that very real and evident decline, took the Fifth before the House Oversight Committee. Watch the sole report on Dr. Kevin O’Connor’s testimony before House Oversight, as aired on NBC Nightly News on Wednesday, July 9th, 2025 (click “expand” to view full transcript): TOM LLAMAS: Now to the fireworks on Capitol Hill with former President Biden's doctor subpoenaed by Republicans, declining to answer questions about Biden's health while he was in office, citing his Fifth Amendment rights. Here’s Kelly O'Donnell. KELLY O’DONNELL: Today, the type of housecall that a former White House physician did not want to make. Dr. Kevin O'Connor, who treated former President Biden for at least 16 years, asserted his Fifth Amendment today and declined to give testimony after he was subpoenaed by House Republicans investigating Mr. Biden's medical and mental fitness while in office. JAKE GREENBERG: Dr. O’Connor, were you ever told to lie about the president's health? KEVIN O’CONNOR: On the advice of counsel I must respectfully decline to answer based upon physician-patient privilege and in reliance on my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution. JAMES COMER: This is unprecedented. And I think that this adds more fuel to the fire that there was a cover up. O’DONNELL: But a lawyer for O’Connor insists the doctor could not testify without risking his medical license, writing: “Dr. O’Connor will not violate his oath of confidentiality for any of his patients, including President Biden.” The 82-year-old former president is now being treated for an aggressive prostate cancer.  JOE BIDEN: I feel good! O’DONNELL: Recent books allege episodes of mental decline while he was president, like not recalling the names of long time aides. The former president has disputed that. Democrat Jasmine Crockett defended Biden’s mental fitness.   JASMINE CROCKETT: I did have an opportunity to interact with the president. I never had a concern. O’DONNELL: Dr. O'Connor is among several close Biden aides being called to testify as Republicans question whether Biden was in command during his presidency. Tom. LLAMAS: All right, Kelly O’Donnell. Kelly, thank you. The report, of course, is not flawless. Kelly O’Donnell helpfully reinforces patient confidentiality as a reason for which Dr. O’Connor took the Fifth. However, there remain many open questions over O’Connor’s role (or lack thereof) in the conspiracy to hide Biden’s obvious and painful decline from the American public. There was Jasmine Crockett coming out and shilling for Biden’s mental acuity at this late hour, and O’Donnell ended her report with what sounded like a veiled “Republicans Pounce”. There wasn’t much extra time to allocate to begin with, because the networks ran another full day of Texas Flood coverage at the top of the newscasts. Although with the legacies failing to pin the story on perceived Trump malevolence (NWS, FEMA) and having to settle for local incompetence (Kern County talking flood alarms for 20 years), one expects that the story will recede from national focus. Nonetheless, the autopen investigations are a major story that should’ve made it into everyone’s roundup- or, at minimum, a brief. ABC allocated that time to local crime: specifically, the California mom that left her babies to die in a hot car while she got lip filler. CBS focused that time on the end of the Philly city workers’ strike. This particular omission reminds me of something I learned in freshman art class many years ago: the empty spaces are as important as those that are covered, if not more so. Leaving Biden’s doctor taking the Fifth in front of House Oversight is a major empty space.  

Brian Stelter's "Reliable Sources" newsletter for CNN carried the headline "Countdown for NPR & PBS." The Senate must vote by next Friday to rescind $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting or that funding remains. Stelter reported PBS even put an advertisement for itself during its July 4 special, A Capital Fourth. We couldn't find it "during" the show. But one of the most maddening things about PBS and NPR is that they refuse to accept any form of negative messaging about them on their own networks. When the funding topic comes up, it's all advertising. The conservative case about defunding and relentless bias is not allowed. So there's no doubt that the word "public" in their name is a fraud. When Americans aren't allowed to criticize their supposedly "public" networks, when their viewpoints are offhandedly labeled misinformation, they cease to be networks that represent all the public. They then represent only a fraction of the public, that fraction being the pompous liberal elite who want to tell the public what to think while invalidating any and all disagreement. This is the exact opposite of what America has always represented. This also happens on other networks, like CBS on Sunday, where John Dickerson said to PBS star Ken Burns, "make the case for PBS." They showed him testifying before the House in 1999. That's amazing, since I also testified that day, and Burns had to listen to me vent about the "PBS-DNC Complex." The hearing was balanced. PBS and NPR never are. Enjoy the podcast below, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
