The shocking truth: George Stephanopoulos reveals Joe Biden’s secrets

Oh, the horror — a journalist told the truth about Joe Biden’s obvious incapacity to serve another term as president!

The journo in question is ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, who was caught in a candid camera shot saying on a Manhattan street “I don’t think [Biden] can serve four more years.” 

This reportedly outraged Debra O’Connell, head of ABC’s news division, who allegedly told him “he is a newsman who is expected to be objective.” (The network denies this account.)

Where to start?

Stephanopoulos was a top Bill Clinton apparatchik before making a seamless transition into journalism; that’s plainly one reason Team Biden picked him to do a damage-control interview after Joe’s debate disaster (although it seems to have only done more damage). 

George, in other words, is no right-wing hatchet man. 

As for the whole “objectivity” thing . . . lefty journos spent the last eight years screeching that journalism cannot, must not and should not ever be “objective.” 

Otherwise, it might help Trump. 

Now that’s blown up in journos’ faces, they’ve seemingly turned on a dime. 

And by the way, Deb — saying that Biden can’t serve four more years is objective. 

It’s a cool-eyed statement of where the balance of probability lies, and it’s based on an ugly, glaring reality: Biden’s ever-faster slide into dementia. 

That will remain true even though Stephanopoulos has apologized for being honest (reportedly another O’Connell demand). 

There’s a dark, hilarious irony here. 

Thanks in large part to the insane insistence of people like O’Connell that all was well with Biden’s health, Joe managed to scrape along — until it became impossible. 

And now establishment media and the Democratic Party (but we repeat ourselves) find themselves forced to repudiate their earlier claims that the prez is A-OK while demanding that audiences and voters keep on trusting them. 

Lots of luck with that. 

Media world needs more of Stephanopoulos’ blunt honesty, not less. 

Not least because it might have averted the current disaster.
