General Discussion

The book is “Original Sin,” and it supposedly tells how President Biden’s advisers “stomped out discussion of his age-related limitations, including internal concerns of aides, external worries of Democratic allies and scrutiny by journalists.”

According to the NYT review, the book is based almost entirely on anonymous sources. I interpret that to mean people who were not in Biden’s inner circle who I think would be more loyal to him. Had Tapper and Thompson written a book about the successes of the Biden presidency, few would buy it because Republicans don’t want to know about the successes and Democrats already know about them. So they wrote a book with controversial stories from sources who refused to be named and thus may be totally unreliable or Trump supporters trying to damage the Biden legacy.
