Former New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan says the paper's coverage of Joe Biden's poor memory has been overblown.
David Gergen : If the Times is guilty of anything, it is of being late to the subject of Biden ’s marbles.
He says the press deserves a small bouquet and an attaboy for scrutinizing Biden 's underscrutinized capabilities.
Gergen asks: Why has the press not better covered Biden 's mental haziness?.
Some may think it's inconvenient for democracy that discussion of Biden ’s mental vigor has arrived now as campaign shifts to higher gear.
If Biden 's batteries are as low as they seem, then muffling the story about his condition is among the worst wounds the press could inflict on democracy.
The Times has gone at a real story the way a great newspaper should.
