Katie Pavlich, the outspoken news editor for Townhall.com and a familiar face on Fox News, has ignited a political firestorm with her blunt criticism of the mainstream media’s role in what she calls a “deliberate cover-up” of President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. Appearing on Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla, Pavlich didn’t hold back as she accused major news outlets of intentionally misleading the American public in the critical months leading up to Biden’s disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump.

According to Pavlich, the signs of Biden’s struggles were evident long before the debate, and the press not only ignored these signs but actively helped mask them from voters. “I mean, for them to have their big award ceremony and to be giving out awards for this stuff, it’s just a continuation of what they’ve always done,” she said, referencing the media industry’s own accolades for coverage she argues was deeply flawed. “They’ve given out awards to Russiagate, all that kind of thing. And now they’re trying to pull one over on everyone they lied to and kind of say they’re taking responsibility when it’s not like they just figured this out. They were deliberately covering it up.”

Pavlich described a media ecosystem that, in her view, circled the wagons around Biden from the very beginning. “It was obvious to anybody who was covering Biden, either in 2020 or certainly throughout his time at the White House, that there was something wrong,” she said sharply. She pointed to the administration’s restricted access to Biden as a glaring red flag. “They never made the White House doctor available for questioning. Joe Biden was never available to talk to reporters.”

The Fox News contributor likened the media’s behavior to a modern-day “emperor has no clothes” moment, where journalists and commentators pretended not to notice what was in plain sight. “And then all of a sudden they’re kicking him off the campaign, and everyone was trying to do a CYA because they were the ones who were perpetuating this lie,” she declared.

But Pavlich’s outrage didn’t stop at the media’s failure to properly cover Biden’s health. She raised a much graver concern: who was actually running the country during Biden’s time in office? “Most importantly, nobody really knew who was running the country,” she emphasized. “So for media people who’ve been screaming about democracy for years, and the Republicans and Trump and RFK Jr. being a threat to democracy, it’s like—I think a threat to democracy is having a guy in office who clearly can’t think on his own and make big decisions and not being transparent about who’s actually making decisions on behalf of the country.”

For Pavlich, this is not just political theater—it’s a crisis of trust and accountability. “I think it’s infuriating. We need more shame, lots of shame,” she said bluntly, her words underscoring a deep frustration that resonates with many conservative voters who have long believed the media is complicit in shaping political outcomes.

The timing of Pavlich’s criticism is especially striking as it comes on the heels of Biden’s widely panned debate performance, which left even some of his staunchest supporters rattled. The media, which had long reported favorably on Biden, has now begun airing doubts, but to Pavlich, this sudden shift is both too little and too late.

“The media’s role in a functioning democracy is supposed to be about holding those in power accountable,” she said. “But what we’ve seen over the last few years is an industry that’s more focused on protecting certain figures while attacking others. That is the real threat to our institutions—not people like Trump or RFK Jr. or even the voters who back them, but a media machine that’s willing to mislead millions just to preserve its own narrative.”

Pavlich’s appearance on Fox Across America lit up conservative media circles, with supporters praising her for saying what they’ve long suspected. On social media, hashtags like #BidenCoverUp and #MediaFail began trending, reflecting a wave of outrage from viewers who feel vindicated by her remarks. One Twitter user wrote, “Katie Pavlich just blew the lid off the entire Biden cover-up. She’s saying what no one in the mainstream will dare say!”

Still, her comments have drawn sharp backlash from liberal commentators, who accuse Pavlich of exploiting the situation for partisan gain. Progressive voices argue that Biden’s challenges are being exaggerated by conservative media and that his administration’s record should be judged on policies, not isolated debate performances or brief moments of confusion.

But for Pavlich, this is no partisan stunt—it’s a matter of principle. “We’re talking about the leader of the free world,” she stressed. “This is someone with his finger on the nuclear codes, someone who’s negotiating with foreign leaders, making life-and-death decisions. The American people deserve honesty. And when the media fails to provide that, it’s not just bad journalism—it’s dangerous.”

Pavlich’s fiery takedown also touches on deeper tensions in American politics, where media trust has eroded dramatically over the past decade. Gallup surveys consistently show that public confidence in mass media has plummeted, with majorities across the political spectrum expressing skepticism about whether journalists report the news fully, fairly, and accurately.

For many conservatives, Pavlich’s remarks are not just about Biden—they’re about an entire media culture they see as biased and out of touch. As one conservative commentator put it, “Katie Pavlich is right on the money. The media didn’t just miss the story—they were part of the cover-up.”

The fallout from Biden’s debate stumble—and the media’s handling of it—has fueled new calls for accountability, not just from politicians but from the press itself. Pavlich, never one to mince words, is leading that charge, demanding that journalists do more than issue half-hearted mea culpas after the damage is done.

In her final remarks on the show, Pavlich left listeners with a blunt challenge: “We need a media that’s willing to ask hard questions, not just of the politicians they don’t like, but of the ones they do. Anything less is a betrayal of the public trust.”

With the 2028 election cycle already heating up, Pavlich’s takedown of the media is unlikely to fade anytime soon. Whether you agree with her or not, one thing is clear: she has touched a nerve—and the conversation about media accountability in America is far from over.
