Sky News host Rita Panahi says it’s hard to deny what came out of the “trainwreck” presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

“The decline in recent years is undeniable ... but the overwhelming majority of the media has asked you to not believe your lying eyes and ears and trust the narrative that Joe is fine,” she said.

Ms Panahi reacted to MSNBC’s “gaslighting” about US Joe Biden’s fitness for office before the presidential debate which was “weapongrade”.

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough later, after the presidential debate, said that now is a good time for the Democrats to decide whether President Biden is up to the task of running for another term.

“We bring you evidence of Biden’s deteriorating state just about every week on this program and finally the rest of the media is acknowledging what you’ve known all along – that man is not fit for office.”
