Spread the word.

so they are milking all the nastiness they can...

the book holds ugly truths!

Just "juicy" snippets to sell books by trashing Biden.

They also want to cover up their (media's) significant role in getting Trump into office.

Did you receive an advanced copy?

that the corporate media has been sane washing and normalizing Trump for 10 years while going out of their way to trash democrats like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.

Tapper knit his teeth as the guy writing in Salon.com about how outrageous the Bush camp was being after the 2000 election. He's never struck me as Right-wing but kind of middle-left. There are numerous videos of him giving lying Trumpies unshirted hell on Youtube.

What he does do is deal in cold hard facts. So I find him worth reading and seeing even if I'm well to his Left on many questions.

We don’t want to hear we start throwing rocks.

He not that right wing when compared to a FAUX News host either.

But it’s hard to look at Tapper’s long history of bashing Democrats, from Gore to Obama to Clinton to Biden, and claim he’s not biased against democrats.

Plus why go to the time and effort to write a book about Biden, which Biden aides have already denounced, while Trump is destroying our democracy. It’s like writing a book about Churchill’s drinking while Hitler is invading Europe.

Tell us what the book says.

Tell us what the book says.

n/t

Manipulative Fascist Enabling Assholes is far more accurate.

Fuck Jake Tapper. I’m done with CNN.

Not too many magas read big books with illustrated pictures. And I doubt any left leaning reader will read it!

next to Orange Felon Jr.'s self published shit.

Damn it…..like they’re following trumps playbook, blame EVERYTHING on Joe. FAWK!!!! Oh, and nobody rocks aviator shades like Joe.

and over 130 years since a former president losing reelection was subsequently elected to a 2nd term. Like or not, it will be a subject of debate for quite awhile. Easily the most unusual election of my lifetime.

who weaponized the DOJ to attack his political enemies or accepted a multimillion dollar aircraft from a foreign government or openly disobeyed court orders or fired key senior personal from government agencies? Don’t you think that all might be more important than an “unusual” election?

That’s the real news story that Jake Tappittytaptattaptaptaptapper ought to be focusing on.

It’s all about the corporate media’s priorities.

and sending a mob to destroy the Capitol because he lost.

The list is endless.

Those things you mentioned about Trump are important but that doesn't change speculation about whether or not Kamala Harris might have had a better chance if President Biden had withdrawn earlier.

He’s not relevant. What’s relevant is that we have a corrupt president who is destroying our democracy.

That's why I think that discussing the last election is relevant.

That would be discussing why Harris lost. This book isn't about that. It's anonymous sources bashing Biden. So your rationalization for Tapper doing that is both illogical and false.

We were all so afraid that anybody would have been better than Trump.

longer want to use common sense or believe their own eyes. I saw Joe Biden at the debates and did not need any confirmation that something had changed. We all have life experience with elderly parents or grandparents to know how this looks. Yet we continued to argue and debate what was before our own eyes. At the same time is Trump a madman that also seems to be descending into dementia, Absolutely!!

We are no better than the other side when we can’t admit the truth and continue to delude ourselves that Biden could have won.

and has been one since his ABC days when he was constantly trashing Obama.

And the only deluded people here are the ones defending the corporate media and their bias.

That’s running our country into the ground. Joe Biden is not the president even though he did so much for America. CNN is not a truth telling organization, they helped Trump win. Joe Biden had one bad night and the vultures began to circle.
Trump has at least 60 bad years behind him and now he’s working on 3 1/2 more.

but CNN and their vermin want to continue to beat a dead horse, as though this is some kind of "coverup" revelation has been discovered.

Of course it didn't bother them when trump couldn't recognize Jean Carroll, and thought it was his wife maples. It doesn't bother them when trump starts pushing incoherent sentences or falls asleep at events and meetings.

And tapper is the worst of them. He wears his bias on his sleeve for all to see. During the evacuation of the U.S. from Afghanistan when the troops were targeted by a bomb, tapper's foaming at the mouth rant against Biden was probably one of the most disgraceful presentations that a pseudo journalist demonstrated.

CNN is actually worse than fox. They try to give the illusion that they are objective, when they have never been since Ted Turner left. Fox has no pretense, they let everyone know they are an extremist right wing outlet.

Both cnn and fox are blocked in my house. It comes as no surprise that cnn airs episodes of bill maher's real time bullshit.

If I want news I can get it from Bloomberg, BBC, and plenty of other places.

As far as I am concerned CNN is just another outlet carrying the water for trump.

They should have laid off tapper and not Acosta, but it is obvious they don't want to offend the emperor who has no clothes, just like what CBS through 60 minutes seems to be doing.

The actual giants of the industry who stood up to governmental abuses are turning in their graves from the state of journalism, or lack thereof in the country.

Where are the Walter Cronkites, Edward R. Murrows, etc. when we need them more then ever.

I wouldn't even use his book to line a birdcage with.

Several authors have recently published books examining Joe Biden's presidency, including Jake Tapper's forthcoming release. Here are some notable works:

📘 Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again

Authors: Jake Tapper (CNN) and Alex Thompson (Axios)
Release Date: May 20, 2025
Publisher: Penguin Press

This investigative book delves into President Biden's physical and cognitive decline during his presidency and the alleged efforts by his inner circle to conceal it. Based on over 200 interviews with Democratic insiders, it recounts incidents such as Biden's failure to recognize longtime friend George Clooney at a 2024 fundraiser and discussions among aides about the potential need for a wheelchair if he were re-elected. The authors argue that the decision to run for a second term, despite evident health issues, led to internal party turmoil and contributed to Donald Trump's 2024 victory.

These books provide varied perspectives on Joe Biden's life, political career, and presidency, ranging from investigative accounts to personal biographies.

doesn’t make it reality. Trump wrote a book too.

was my point. I never said one book was right or wrong.

shouldn’t be on a past President but rather on the current one dismantling democracy. It’s a matter of the corporate media’s priorities.

It was from one of his Nespresso ads and I seriously didn't realize it was him. He's aged significantly.

He used to do Americans top 40 songs.
I just aged myself, didn't I?🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

gutter press tabloid trash. I wonder how many of his sources will be named, "anonymous."

They didn’t ban Hitler’s book either.

I still think he is probably the most disrespected President ever. A lot of people including the media find Trump "entertaining" but I prefer boring governing to making a spectacle.

Comey bullshit.

The illustrious media declared war against her with their constant sexist rants against her.

Referring to her as “shrill” and “angry all the time was bad enough, but giving right wing an inordinate amount of time to trash her along with the dual Hillary trump NBC interview where they asked trump every softball question and ramble without interruption, while not even letting Hillary finish a question, constantly interrupting her and talking over her when she tried to answer a question.

It was a disgrace. That was NBC’s Matt Lauer, sexual harasser.

CNN’s Anderson Cooper and others did their own sexist slurs against her all the time.

Hillary didn’t deserve any of this.

Their faux outrage when Hillary referred to some of trump’s supporters as deplorable was a hyperbolic media. frenzy, especially since trump’s racist, sexist, bigotry was presented as just “business as usual”

They declared war on Al Gore in 2000 and used the same playbook on Clinton in 16.

for a long time for sure.

From the National Enquirer, and how he helped facilitate the payoffs from the Flabby Felon to Stormy Daniels and that brunette woman because the two of them were scumbagging together?

Remember how every freaking week Pecker had Hillary on her deathbed, she had gained fifty pounds, was consorting with demons and fornicating with Satan? Every week the covers would be plastered with the most hideous, fake photos of her? Displayed all over grocery store checkouts across the country.

Those scummy bastards, remembering all that crap is pissing me off.

with their misrepresentations, unequal coverage, and worse, their objectivity.

They no longer even try to hide it anymore with the Bezo's, LA Times, Murdoch, and billionaire owners.

I also remember the Enquirer headlines during President Obama's terms: "Cheater-in-Chief" and "Horndog President" week after week after week after week for years. A picture of President Obama greeting Caroline Kennedy at some White House function was "proof" they were having an affair, not to mention that Michelle was running around with Secret Service agents. According to the Enquirer, the White House was a huge den of iniquity with those two.

And then Trump came along, a REAL cheater-in-chief and horndog president and crickets. They not only covered everything up, they ran glowing puff pieces about the whole damn family, how beautiful and righteous they all were.

Totally disgusting.

Haven't seen it in years. It was always bad at delivering news. Fox at least is good propaganda. CNN is just boring fake news.

Unfortunately I was in no position to turn it off, as I was traveling a lot and they had it in pretty much every television in every airport gate. I felt like Winston Smith in Orwell's1984. The media devolved into hack propaganda decades ago.

There is a question as to whether the person in the office of the presidency was capable of performing his duties and should have been running for a second term. If he was examined by a panel of independent doctors, that could have produced better results.

The question that needs to be asked is why is the corporate media still focusing on a past President who is out of office and not on the current one who is corrupt and destroying our democracy.

His approval ratings are going down.

his approval ratings would be close to 0. The corporate media is a big party of the reason Trump won the presidency twice. Defending the actions of these multibillion dollar corporations is just carrying water for Trump.

for what they are responsible for and not be sycophantic apologists whenever someone dares to criticize them.

one in a long list of media outlets that don't give a single damn about truth or real reporting. All they want are click-able headlines, and almost all of it is biased and full of s***. Nothing they say can be taken as fact. Look at how much of their ehe, news is based off of "unnamed sources", or just quotes from politicians or other analysts. It's almost all BS.
I often see people all bent out of shape over what these "news" outlets publish. Life would become a lot more clear if people realized that they are not on your side of anything. They exist to make money and.. well that's it. Money. They shouldn't care what it does to our policy or politics. They aren't supposed to be any of those things, they are supposed to provide meaningful information based on fact, whether we like hearing it or not. I haven't found a single outlet in existence today that tells the complete truth.

I think some interests are using meritless/irrelevant criticisms of Pres. Biden to deflect attention from trump's failures. I don't think they realize that well has run dry, but I doubt that will stop them.

we could have had a proper primary and then not have a current president who is illegally deporting people, targeting universities, dismantling government agencies, defying the court, accepting gift from foreign countries and trampling all over the constitution.

Biden is old news. The corporate media should be covering what’s relevant now.

should have better priorities about what is important now and not diverting time and resources to cover old news.

Perhaps if these things were publicized earlier we wouldn't be in our current mess. Hopefully people in the future will learn from this and not repeat the same mistakes.

Just bs based on anonymous sources while many of the real people named are calling out the lies. https://www.rawstory.com/jaime-harrison-biden/

And perhaps the way out of the current mess is to call it out now instead of dredging up the past.

He showed you the first time who he was and still Hispanic, Middle Eastern, white women and farmers
Voted for the man who screwed them the first time. His cognitive decline was there for everyone to see and still they voted for him . He told people he was going to deport them , guess what. Joe Biden did not help them make boneheaded decisions based on their stupidity and prejudices. Stop making excuses for people who didn’t give a damn about anyone but themselves. Those of us who cared about others and our country voted right.

she had run in and won the primary. She would have been able to distance herself from Biden.

But there are of course other Democrats who could have been great candidates such as Andy Beshear or Roy Cooper, both of whom have won state-wide elections in states Trump won in 2024.

Don’t blame democrats because republicans wanted to hate, to fear others and to have billionaires and tech bros Manipulating the easily led. Our media played a large part also some of it owned or financed by tech bros. When you allow people to have too much money ,in some it creates a god complex and some people worship that also, 64% of white men voted for a felon and a rapist. That speaks to their narrow vision . And if we want change in this country American voters must start electing who is best to lead this country rather than a con man who reflects their values. They don’t find him reprehensible they applaud what he is doing. As to the gentlemen you mentioned good luck getting legislation passed. That was Joe’s gift he knew how the senate worked and how to move legislation through.

Whose primary role in enabling the current overthrow of American Democracy, going back many decades, is both siderism.

but not a potato. 😉

the more copies it will sell. Tapper will cash in on it big time, true or not.

It doesn’t need to be true to sell well.

and will base their entire worldview on it. Difficult to combat that stuff.

“A lie will travel around the world while the truth is still getting out of bed.”

Part of being BALANCED and dare one say FAIR?

All this Mars talk, the world is not enough?
I spectre there be some skyfalling soon?

All these media spots on Joe's "senility" or unfitness for the presidency are attacks on his policy.
Joe was just too liberal--his policies worked too well--therefore they must make sure people think he was senile.
Joe Biden was the best president of my lifetime--they can't let that happen again.

The Hill, Huff Post and Fox News talking about Biden's cognitive decline and how it was covered up.
Don't see any about Trump that is obviously insane.

It's just a way to detract from the mess the con artist is causing.
