That's true, but there were also signs of the decline.

"One of us didn't miss the biggest story of the century," Kelly said to him, and "one of us did." //

But that's the problem. The information was there to report, and he didn't press. Even if all he did was read RedState, he would have seen it day after day.

The big pause in the following clip, where he has no real answer for why he didn't follow up, says it all for how much the liberal media failed. //

Kelly walked through so many instances that he ignored. She called out how his network called the truthful videos about Biden "cheap fakes." That's when he made a truly surprising comment that "conservative media was right." //

He denied that he had anything to do with a "cover-up."

But he did admit there should be a lot of soul searching not just by him but also for a lot of legacy media. Yes, he can say that now, because what is said about Biden now no longer matters.

The question is what it says about them when it did matter.
