Jake Tapper Co-Authors Book on the Cover-Up of Biden’s Decline Despite His and CNN’s Complicity
“Incredible. Jake Tapper somehow managed to attach himself to a book describing the coverup of Joe Biden’s mental capacity, as if he was doing daily segments warning the public about it for years.”
At this point, saying the media has no shame is like saying water is wet. But you simply have to in this case because it’s like 1000% true as it relates to this particular subject matter.
On Wednesday, CNN anchor Jake Tapper announced on his Twitter/X page that he and co-author Alex Thompson from Axios were coming out with a book that was now available for pre-order.
The book is titled “Original Sin.” The subject matter? Former President Joe Biden’s decline and the cover-up surrounding it:
ORIGINAL SIN, now available for pre-order at https://t.co/a9TcEIjAnV from @Penguinpress. Been working hard on this with @AlexThomp, from interviews with more than 200 WH insiders, Dem leaders, and more. #OriginalSinBook pic.twitter.com/e7hd4bqNHM

I wasn’t the only one who was like, “Is this for real?” Tapper, after all, is part of a network that was an active participant in the cover-up, with Tapper himself playing a starring role (unlike Thompson, who was one of the few journalists who has been reporting for years on questions about Biden’s decline).
This October 2020 Tapper interview, for instance, with Lara Lea Trump is a prime example. Here’s a partial recap:
Tapper had aired a clip of Trump’s daughter-in-law claiming that every time Biden speaks, “I’m like ‘Joe, can ya get it out, let’s get the words out, Joe.’ You kinda feel bad for him.” Tapper asked Lara Trump in response, “How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?”
Trump said she didn’t know Biden had famously overcome a stutter, and pivoted to alleging his speech was evidence of “cognitive decline.” Tapper quickly interrupted: “I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody’s cognitive decline,” he told her, pointing out that “I’m sure it offends you” when people do the same to President Trump.
Watch the sneering and indignant looks on Tapper’s face as Mrs. Trump defended herself against accusations from Tapper that she had made fun of the then-Democrat presidential nominee’s stutter:
Here's Jake Tapper incensed over Joe Biden's "stutter" and outraged over claims of Biden's cognitive decline.
Now he's cashing in on a book about Biden's cognitive decline and media cover up. There is no bottom for these people.

Tapper then: It's a conspiracy theory to say Biden has cognitive decline. It's a stutter.

Keep in mind that around the same time this interview was happening, Big Tech was busy censoring the blockbuster New York Post story about the Hunter Biden laptop emails from being shared on their platforms, an action media outlets like CNN – which also doubted the story – never condemned.
Though the New York Post‘s account was even blocked for a time from posting thanks to Twitter censors, Tapper actually advised them to delete the supposedly offending tweets so they could start posting from their account again.
Because nothing says “principled journalism” better than capitulating to the mob, right?
“Shut Up & Kiss The Twitter Ring” is Jake Tapper’s solution to press censorship. Wow. https://t.co/PF29KTP9cB

Back to the book, Tapper’s announcement understandably prompted some strong reactions:

I wonder if @JakeTapper includes how he covered up, suppressed, mocked and lied about reports of Biden's cognitive decline.
Tapper is trying to cash in on his, @CNN and Democrats lies. https://t.co/iZvzsDXeO6

What a joke
Tapper and @CNN covered up Biden’s decline and now you guys want to profit from it https://t.co/x64jy9W6hA

Any book that ignores the Acela Media’s culpability in the Biden cognitive decline cover-up – their own original sin – is displaying an obvious bias of omission. Let’s see if this goes there, although it requires self-reflection and humility. https://t.co/68Reuw7vkm

Let us also not forget other instances of CNN doing their part to keep the cover-up going:
Jake, why did your network work so hard to bury the story of Biden’s cognitive decline when he still had the nuclear codes? https://t.co/fwAf0bUfeQ pic.twitter.com/I62AydfQ46

And this was CNN media hall monitor Brian Stelter, just a week or so before the June 2024 Biden-Trump presidential debate and amid the “cheap fakes” talking points that the media were using to describe concerning videos of Biden, including the infamous one from the L.A. fundraiser where former President Barack Obama had to lead him offstage by the hand:
Two Bidens: Some of us are watching long, complete speeches by the president. Others just watching short, out of context clips on social media. Two audiences are seeing two very different reflections. pic.twitter.com/fg8Sle9qpK

And here was Tapper a couple of weeks before that downplaying that damning Wall Street Journal report on Biden’s decline with a longtime Biden friend, Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE):

What does Ivan Raiklin, Secretary of Retribution say about this?
This is the #1 reason no one believes the media anymore.
IDK. Who would know more about the coverup than a guy who was in the room doing it?
If he would write a book that admits how he and he fellow “Journalists” were absolutely complicit in the coverup and should never be trusted again.
But that won’t be the book he writes.
He will write a book that says: “I didn’t lie to you. I was lied to by those guys over there. I am angry and upset by those terrible people. You can trust me.”

You gonna eat that?
Jake Tapper is the Jeffrey Toobin of Dan Rathers.
That makes about as much sense as this book.
If we were able to post pictures, Sgt. Shultz would be perfect!
“I know nothing!!!”
That sums up the MSM and their coverage of Biden
Joy Reid is less dishonest than Jack Tapper.
No doubt she will be writing a tell all book about how MSDNC is racist and Rachel Madcow $exually harassed her
Well … the alternate title for the book is “It Takes One To Know One”
All part of the Left’s continuing efforts to re-write or erase history.
‘Remember, Norman, nothing [the Left] says is true.’
The lead time foe writing and publishing a book is now down to a couple of weeks! Amazing!!
No self awareness at all, also zero shame or responsibility.
Tulsi Gabbard confirmed on Friday that CNN is a CIA disinformation and propaganda conduit. She did not specify the exact person information was
delivered to, however given Tapper’s early participation in the Russia Collusion Hoax, he surely is suspect. As is this book.
My son remarks, “Isn’t there some law against profiting from a book about a crime you committed?”
Someone need to write a book about how Tapping Jake covered up Brandon’s dementia. I have a perfect title for it: “Original Sin”.
The biggest scandal was the mainstream media hiding the fact the Biden used to enter and leave Air afore One by the belly stairs instead of the main cabin door because Joe couldn’t handle stairs without embarrassing falls.
Air Force should have switched the 747 for an A-320
Could have called it Short Airbus One…….
Joe Biden was not competent before the election, he was nothing more that a puppet. Those behind this malicious fraud must be identified and prosecuted.
I always roll on the floor laughing when I hear some libtard use the phrase “President Musk.”
I ask them to use their amazing insight to identify who the real president was during the last administration because a hell of a lot of people still want to know.
Given the publication date, the drafts for the book must have been at the publisher well before the election. Meaning that Jake Tapper squelched any timeliness of the information on Biden’s cognitive decline and its cover-up. He failed his duty as a journalist. Perhaps there could be more forgiveness it the book contained an admission to the author being a key part of the problem. My expectation is that Mr. Tapper will fall far short of that ethical goal.
What’s with all this incredulity about biased media? They have always aspired to be power players, and Tapper is just being true to form. Objective journalism is a myth we cling to in order to stoke the fires of righteous indignation. Everyone has an agenda, and manipulates their realities accordingly.
