If you are not among those who devote their Sundays to televised news, striving to unravel the complex web of the week’s network and cable news spins, we have prepared a brief roundup of significant points you may have missed. This critical review provides real news with a commitment towards Christian worldview and reliable information.

Since the riveting face-off between President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump on CNN’s debate stage, there has been notable effort from media representatives and Capitol Hill staff, including the president and his team in the White House. The objective largely revolves around convincing everyone that all’s well – Biden is fine, his re-election campaign is on track, and overall everything is running smoothly.

Nonetheless, subtle indications of cracks appearing in this seemingly tranquil facade have emerged as several Democrats questioned whether it might be time for Biden to step back. His recent interview with George Stephanopoulos — previously a Democratic operative now an ABC News anchor— did little to reassure observers about the president’s cognitive prowess. On Sunday morning political shows, signs of his party grudgingly coming to terms with grief were apparent.

Despite numerous allegations regarding a substandard performance during the debate along with other questionable public appearances since then, President Biden remains entrenched in denial. Even as criticism mounts, he brushes it aside with claims of being perfectly fit for office. Seemingly oblivious to any hint of an issue being present, he continues through his appearances necessitating heavy-duty damage control from White House personnel more often than not.

The intensity of emotions was reflected in Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) venting frustrations about Biden’s dipping performance reported by recent polls on NBC News’ “Meet the Press”. Meanwhile Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), while affirming continued support for Biden’s reelection bid on CNN’s “State of the Union”, called on him to do more to convince people about his suitability.

Former DNC chairwoman Donna Brazile expressed concern over Biden’s future in both a political and personal perspective during ABC News’ “This Week.” In contrast, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) defended the president on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” recognizing some of the perceived shortcomings but implying that Biden was still right for the role from a policy standpoint.

However, many are certainly not ready to publicly face the stages of grief. As “Fox News Sunday” anchor Shannon Bream pointed out, not one Democrat had been willing to engage in a discussion defending Biden’s decision to stay in the race.
