In his recent column “Joe Biden’s decline: The inside story and the outside story,” Byron York writes:
There is an inside story of Biden’s decline and an outside story of Biden’s decline. The inside story is the effort by the White House staff, plus its Democratic allies, plus its supporters in the press, to conceal Biden’s problem. The outside story is the many public appearances — moments of Biden appearing confused, lost, or frozen — during which millions of viewers could see for themselves that the president had a serious problem.
Another way to put it would be to say that the inside story was the effort to deny that the outside story existed.
In other words, the inside story is the story of a coverup that disgraces everyone involved.
