Oh come on now, please. There is no 'The Press' -- there are hundreds of newspapers, news sites and broadcasters with varied coverage of the presidential race.
Yes, some seem unduly focused on Biden's fitnesss and a few -- a few -- suggest in editorials that his candidacy should end. A vast majority of others cover the legit questions raised by the debate in a balanced, fair way.

Where are the comments about Trump lying continuously and talking gibberish at his rallies? He's getting a free pass by mainstream news media. Biden's issues are now more flashy so let's destroy democracy by not comparing him to a felon.
I see and hear examples regularly, Ruth, even though I try to avoid coverage solely about Trump. His nonsense in June and again recently about shark attack risks from electric boats sinking because of heavy batteries was reported and ridiculed widely.
In The New York Times today, columnist John McWhorter writes about what he calls Biden's "lack of elocution тАФ which Donald Trump is also quite given to."
In The Washington Post on June 24, longtime columnist Eugene Robinson wrote: "Equally alarming is his disordered, elliptical syntax. Sentences take off in one direction and change course midflight. Pronouns lack antecedents. . . .
"Repeatedly telling a nonsensical story, and in a chopped salad of words, is different тАФ and hair-raising when the speaker is a candidate for president."
Since 'the debate' they've been quiet about Trump for the most part. Yes, NYT wrote about Trump being wholy unqualified, but they've mostly been very quiet. They're enjoying the Biden fiasco, knowing that this could put Trump back in the Whitehouse. They could write and talk about Trump as much as they're doing about Biden, but that's old news. This is more fun for them.
I get why it appears that way, but don't believe "enjoying" and "more fun" underlie the coverage focus.
Trump's defects and dangers are well-known, so less compelling to rehash/focus on anew than the relative suprirse of Biden's seemingly sudden and sharp decline. His personal crisis and the party's, as well as potentially the country's, are far more newsworthy than "Trump is still unaware and crazy" updates.
The first three letters of news drive the over-coverage, which I'm not defending.
That's fine for those who actually pay attention but the election will be won by those who can't tell the difference between Biden or any other Democrat and Trump. I don't understand how that's possible, but it is.
Alan, a few? Listening to Sirrius POTUS channel right now. Its all about тАЬI canтАЩt believe Biden hasnтАЩt dropped out yetтАЭ. Nothing on crimal Trump
