Jake Tapper

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart was not happy with CNN on Monday’s edition of The Daily Show as the network continued to promote Jake Tapper’s book about the cover-up of President Joe Biden’s mental decline amid his cancer diagnosis. The fact that the two could be related was not something Stewart even considered as a possibility.

MRC analysts looked at ABC, CBS and NBC’s evening and morning news programs, as well as PBS’s News Hour from May 13 through the morning of May 19 and found they spent a grand total of 7 minutes and 16 seconds on the reporting from Tapper and his co-author Alex Thompson. 

On CNN's State of the Union, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) tells host Jake Tapper he continues to believe that Joe Biden would have been capable of serving out a second term, at which time he would have been 86 years old.

On the latest installment of CNN State of the Union, an unrepentant Jake Tapper devoted a segment to promoting his upcoming Original Sin, co-written with Alex Thompson of Axios. The promotional segment makes clear, however, that Tapper appears unwilling to take personal responsibility for his own role, and that of the broader media, in perpetrating the biggest…

Jake Tapper is facing backlash from both conservatives and liberals for his upcoming book on Joe Biden’s mental decline. Conservatives criticize Tapper for the hypocrisy of writing a book on a coverup he contributed to, while liberals are upset he is not focusing on Donald Trump’s issues, accusing him of betraying their narrative. Critics from the left, like Charlotte Clymer and Wajahat Ali,…

NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck is back from vacation and joins me in discussing the liberal media’s largely muted response to disgraced former FBI Director James Comey’s seashore seashells threat against President Trump. We also call out the false penance Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson were trying to perform on behalf of the liberal media to atone for not reporting on President Biden’…

The first excerpts of the Jake Tapper-Alex Thompson book on denying Biden's obvious mental decline have been posted, and you can already sense Democrats don't want to deal with what they have done.

CNN’s Jake Tapper has begun his book tour that dives into former President Joe Biden’s decline and the attempt to cover it up. After a Wednesday appearance on CNN News Central, one media person in particular came away with a battered reputation: ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel. Although Tapper did not indict Kimmel, Kimmel’s reaction to the controversy in question was enough for him to indict…

With the imminent release of the first of what will surely be a legion of books authored by Legacy Media types on the obvious cognitive decline of President Joe Biden, there is a modicum of media self-interest in reporting on the book’s disclosures. But there remains a hesitancy to cover this issue at the Legacy newscasts.

On CNN's State of the Union, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith, discussing his possible run for the presidency, describes himself as socially liberal "pretty much across the board," adding, "I believe in live and let live." But since abortion is at the top of the board of liberal social issues, Smith apparently doesn't believe "live and let live" extends to unborn children.

CNN’s host of The Lead, Jake Tapper, tried to shame GOP Rep. Brandon Gill on Wednesday for trying to defund PBS and NPR by claiming, “PBS really helps little kids,” citing himself learning how to read by watching Sesame Street as an example. However, Tapper’s days in school were not complete as Gill informed him that the real issue is PBS’s “left-wing propaganda,” whether…

Team Trump put posters on the White House lawn – right behind the camera positions where the White House reporters chat with their anchors – with mugshots of illegal aliens who were arrested (and mostly convicted) of serious crimes, including fentanyl importation and child sexual assault. The Trump haters responded by blurring the images, out of great sensitivity to the unlikely potential…

Seemingly itching for another anti-gun show trial like the one he “moderated” after the Parkland shooting (and won an award for), on Thursday, CNN’s Jake Tapper decided to target gun rights by once again exploiting an hours-old school shooting (Florida State University) for political gain. He trotted out 20-year-old Jayden D’Onofrio to be the voice to push for gun control with him. But while…

CNN anchorman Jake Tapper, in 2025, proclaimed on his show that he is NOT on the Left. But in the first Trump term, CNN boss Jeff Zucker made them ALL take a side at CNN. They had to uncork grand speeches. "We call them homilies," said Tapper in 2020. CNN is not a church.
