Jake Tapper

CNN host and Original Sin co-author Jake Tapper took his book tour to HBO and Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday for a surreal discussion with Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton about former President Joe Biden’s mental decline and who was to blame for the coverup.

Jake Tapper and his ilk owe all of us an explanation for why, from 2017 through 2020, they were so intensely concerned about President Trump’s health that they managed to incorrectly diagnose him with dementia, early-onset Alzheimer’s, profound mental illness, and even heart disease.

Washington Week with The Atlantic host (and Atlantic editor) Jeffrey Goldberg devoted a full episode of his latest show, normally a political panel, solely to interviewing journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson about their book Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. Tapper also brought up a couple of…

The onslaught of media stories about the Trump family’s stake in cryptocurrency betrays a strange new interest in coverage of the perception of corruption. As Speaker Mike Johnson reminded CNN’s Jake Tapper, things were (D)ifferent back then.

On Friday's Washington Week with The Atlantic, host Jeffrey Goldberg hosted his pal Jake Tapper and his co-author Alex Thompson on their book Original Sin. The most shameless denial came when Goldberg suggested the media didn't cover up Biden's decline, while he completely omitted his show's infamous episode when he said President Biden was "mentally, quite acute." Mark…

Surprise! The PBS News Hour finally arrived on the Jake Tapper-Alex Thompson book after ignoring it longer than the other networks. PBS anchor Geoff Bennett began by suggesting the word "coverup" might be a "loaded phrase."

The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View were so sycophantic for former President Joe Biden that they kicked off their Tuesday episode by attacking CNN anchor Jake Tapper for daring to write a book about the cover-up of Biden’s senility. They denounced the book, couldn’t understand why it was needed at all, and, according to Tapper himself, The View was refusing to have him on…

Broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC, and PBS still have yet to utter a single word about the radical left-wing politics of the man who allegedly gunned down two Israeli embassy employees on Wednesday evening in Washington D.C. In the first 24 hours after the attack, across both their live-streaming and flagship morning and evening news programs, all of these networks, as well as MSNBC, stubbornly…

Status newsletter writer and former CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy showed Wednesday how hate rages through his veins and soul at conservatives and particularly at “right-wing media” because he argued this “irresponsible,” “dishonest machine” filled with “malicious” intent — which contain plenty of good and decent people — “do not deserve” credit for being out in front of legacy (liberal)…

While PBS can't even breathe the names "Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson" on the News Hour, NPR gave their book extensive time. First, there was 11 minutes with the two authors on Monday's All Things Considered. Then Tapper was interviewed for the hour on Tuesday on Fresh Air with Terry Gross. The host said "Republicans, I think, are very happy with your book," and "…

Speaking Tuesday night on NewsNation’s On Balance, Original Sin co-author and Axios reporter Alex Thompson told host Leland Vittert that, in his reporting for this bestselling book about the cognitive decline of President Joe Biden and its cover-up, one Biden administration source remarked to him they were shocked how compliant the press were of their lies about Biden’s…

In a Morning Joe segment with Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson about their book, Original Sin, on the cover-up of Biden's decline, Joe Scarborough finally admits, "I was obviously wrong" in claiming in March 2024 that this was the "best Biden ever," and "f-you if you can't handle the truth."

It appears that the legacy media have learned nothing from the release of the Hur tapes, and the release of Tapper/Thompson’s “Original Sin”. Faced with former President Biden’s devastating cancer diagnosis, and with the choice between investigative journalism or stenography, the media continue to choose the latter.

It’s Publication Day for the much-ballyhooed Original Sin, authored by Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios, and with it, the requisite media tour. And what sounded like an honest admission by Tapper on CBS Evening News Plus is really a searing indictment of the media’s conduct throughout the Biden years.
