Struggling Vanity Fair Takes Another Right Turn With Excerpt from Book Labeling Jill Biden “Lady Macbeth” for Allegedly Hiding Joe’s Condition

Vanity Fair — dying on the vine — has taken another turn to capture readers from the right.

They’ve paid for an excerpt from a book that calls Jill Biden “Lady Macbeth” for allegedly Joe’s mental condition.

It should be noted that Joe Biden continues to make appearances, look and sound cogent post-election while Donald Trump has medical mysteries and mental insufficiency that no one investigates.

But Vanity Fair continues to pander to MAGA and conservatives as it has all year since Mark Guiducci became editor in chief. The magazine has no newsstand sales and declining numbers on the web. So they’re looking for customers somewhere.

Old time Vanity Fair subscribers should be turned off by this inept attempt to discredit the Bidens, coming out two weeks before the midterm elections.

That Melania Trump cover story doesn’t seem so far fetched at this point.

PS There’s also a positive profile of Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles on the website. How pathetic.
