It's not about "respecting" a news source.

Two things are true:

1) Biden's age is a negative factor in his efforts to get re-elected; and

2) No one within the Democratic party has the power to "force" Biden out of the race if he wants to continue running.

Democrats are aware that his age is an electoral liability. They are not ignorant of that fact, nor in denial about it. It's just not actionable information. They can't do anything with it. Since no credible candidates challenged Biden for the nomination, Biden is going to win the nomination if he continues running for it.
