Because everyone knew Trump would lie constantly, that's all he ever does. Biden used to be an eloquent, confident public speaker, but that has changed drastically in the last 4 years. We also know that reporting on Trump's lies doesn't slow or stop them and definitely doesn't change his supporters' minds. If anything, reporting constantly on the lies he tells just gives him more screen-time to spread them. Also, the world really needs Trump to lose, so if the only guy available to do so is seemingly physically unable, it makes sense to talk about options.
Giving Trump more air time just makes more people know about Trump.
We can't hide the Democrat candidate for fear of his public appearance hitting his ratings and also try to parade him around as competent. It turns into telling not showing and any film major can tell you that's a crappy movie that no one will buy.
People need to see a guy who looks like they can handle a job and hear about it. To much begging on Trump just brings us back to Trump.
