(Via RealClearPolitics)

Mark Halperin grilled exiting "Washington Post" fact-checker Glenn Kessler over the paper's lack of coverage of then-President Joe Biden's physical and mental decline.

 

MARK HALPERIN, HOST: Regarding Joe Biden. When you looked at the question of whether the videos being played largely in conservative media that showed apparent cognitive decline of the president, what conclusion did you reach in Fact Checker about those videos?

GLENN KESSLER, FORMER WASHINGTON POST FACT-CHECKER: Well, you're talking about when he supposedly meandered off to talk to the parachutists? Yeah. So that fact check was looking specifically at how that video was being portrayed on news sites.
