Did George Stephanopoulos do an interview with Joe Biden, or an intervention? The New York Post said it was an intervention. The New York Times hailed the ABC host “respectfully but firmly” channeling the questions of all Americans. He did not. He was channeling the panic among Democrats.

Respectfully but firmly, the ABC anchor pressed President Biden on the basic questions that Americans had asked themselves over the past week.
“Respectfully but firmly,” he asked, “Are you more frail?” and “Have there been more lapses?” As Biden denied he had a problem, “Stephanopoulos zeroed in on the matters of pride, dignity and self-worth swirling beneath the surface.”
