That reads like a juiced headline but it's actually 100% accurate.
The Times is attempting to take Kennedy out of the race.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. admitted in a 2012 deposition that a worm had eaten part of his brain and then died inside his head, according to a report by The New York Times.
Key Details:
RFK Jr. made the unusual admission during a deposition for his 2012 divorce proceedings.
He began experiencing cognitive problems and memory loss in 2010, admitting in the deposition two years later, "I have cognitive problems, clearly."
Upon seeing a New York doctor regarding his cognitive problems, he was ultimately informed that the issues were likely "caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died," Kennedy said in his deposition.
Diving Deeper:
The New York Times report indicates that Kennedy made the startling revelation during his 2012 divorce deposition. He reportedly began experiencing cognitive issues and both short and long-term memory loss in 2010, shortly after the death of his uncle, Senator Edward Kennedy, from brain cancer. Initially, Kennedy feared he had a brain tumor, but a second opinion from a New York doctor revealed a different cause. The doctor informed Kennedy that a dark spot on his brain scans was due to a dead parasite. Kennedy testified that the doctor told him the parasite had eaten a part of his brain before dying.
In addition to the brain parasite, Kennedy also admitted to suffering from mercury poisoning, which he believes was caused by his frequent consumption of tuna fish sandwiches.
Um. I don't know whether to take all of this seriously, or if Kennedy is just a hypochondriac and medical paranoiac.
However, Kennedy's health history is not without other complications. The anti-vaccine activist and conspiracy theorist has openly discussed his past struggles with drug addiction.
Obviously the Times is attempting to destroy RFKJr. so that he doesn't take votes from Biden (who himself has a worm-riddled brain and "cognitive problems").
I'm not sure if I should root for their effort. RFKJr. seems to take more votes from Trump.
MXMNews criticizes Biden for his Basement Strategy.
Even the New York Times has criticized Biden for not doing any interviews, except with the likes of Steven Colbert and Howard Stern.
The one thing the leftwing press will criticize a Democrat for is not giving the press the access and deference they feel entitled to.

Diving Deeper:
The New York Times, which endorsed Biden's presidency in 2020, has publicly criticized the president for his lack of engagement with the press. In a statement, the newspaper expressed concern that Biden is "systematically avoiding interviews," "undermines an important norm" and sets a "dangerous precedent" for future presidents to evade scrutiny and accountability.
Former President Donald Trump has also taken a jab at Biden's reluctance to sit for interviews. In a recent Time Magazine interview, Trump questioned whether Biden would be capable of participating in such an interview, implying concerns about his cognitive abilities.

Despite these criticisms, Biden's communications team has adopted a different strategy, focusing on social media influencers to communicate the president's message. Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended this approach, arguing that the type of interviews Biden takes are more important than the quantity.
Talking with shriveled-dick hypochondriac and pornographer Howard Stern is a "quality interview"?
Even Stern admits that he went easy on Joe Biden.
Stern then addressed critics who claimed his questions to Biden were "too soft."
"My whole goal was not to sit there and talk politics. I'm not into that. I don't want to debate policy," he claimed." My only agenda [was] I would like to get to know the president because I suspect he's a very meaningful, very thoughtful guy."
"You've gotta f*cking be kidding me," Stern finally exclaimed.
Quality interview.
