George Clooney admits media ‘dropped the ball’ on covering Biden’s incapacities

Actor George Clooney conceded during a Thursday interview that the media failed in its coverage of former President Biden’s fitness and ability to serve. 

Clooney told The New York Times’ Maureen Dowd that Biden was irresponsible in covering up his “incapacities,” and added, “the media, in many ways, dropped the ball.”

Reacting to a moment when former President Obama led Biden off the stage at a Los Angeles fundraiser in June, Clooney said, “I saw him for hours a year earlier at the Kennedy Center, and I saw someone much less sharp.”

Dowd wrote that the experience left Clooney “gobsmacked.”
