They do report it though. His rant about sharks was only a month ago and it was everywhere. The problem is Biden was soo bad in the debate it overshadowed everything.

From Margaret Sullivan's piece in the Guardian today:
"There really is no comparison in the amount or intensity of coverage. One journalist, Jennifer Schulze, counted New York Times stories related to Biden’s age in the week following the debate; she counted a staggering 192 news and opinion pieces, compared to 92 stories on Trump – and that was in a week when the US supreme court had ruled he has immunity for official acts."

There's also the fact that with Biden, it's a change - he was far more eloquent and coherent a few years ago.
Trump has always sounded rambling and crazy. There's no discernible change.

That's not true - Biden has never been the best public speaker, but he can maintain coherency through a delivery, even if via the teleprompter. Trump sounds crazy with all sorts of tics and nonsensical asides. The enormous difference is that the media don't report it, or do so as a footnote. They have zero interest in trying to drive a wedge between trump and the republican apparatus because there is no window to do so. With Biden, they're falling into the trap of trying to force the issue to make the news, rather than report on it.
