Joe Biden’s fall at the US Air Force graduation ceremony is the talk of Washington and all the major news networks covered it.
But how did they cover it? Some were decent, but ABC News had the worst take:

That’s right. Republicans are ‘pouncing’. Good grief.
Every time President Trump did something odd like hold a cup with two hands or walk slowly down a ramp, the entire garbage news media made it a scandal. And they accuse Republicans of pouncing?
CBS News had a similar take:

You bet it’s a talking point. His all-too-common dementia and inability to walk up stairs without tripping has been a talking point since he started running because his campaign hid him in his basement and tried to cover it up before the election. Ugh.
Oddly enough, NBC was the best of the three:
