Joe Biden

Axios’ Alex Thompson joined Fox News Sunday for an interview on his recently published Original Sin, co-written with CNN’s Jake Tapper. Of all the revelations during his interview, the most damning being that he felt “ostracized” by many in the legacy media.

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…

On MSNBC's The Weekend,  Original Sin co-author Alex Thompson says that the Democrat party was "sleepwalking" about Biden's decline until the disastrous debate made that impossible to ignore.  Co-host Jonathan Capehart failed to disclose that more than two weeks after the debate, he was still calling for Biden to stay in the race. On PBS, Capehart called Democrats calling on Biden to…

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…

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)…

In Tuesday’s episode of MK Media’s Next Up, 2WayApp founder and longtime political journalist Mark Halperin pressed friend and former colleague, MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough, on the latter’s infamous March 6, 2024 comments declaring the then-current version of President Joe Biden was the “best Biden ever” and “f-you if you can’t handle the truth.” NewsBusters…

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.

You can always tell when a leftist media outlet doesn’t like a story angle. They’ll cry “no evidence,” and you want to ask them if they actually spent any time searching for evidence.  It’s their way of suggesting the story is too disreputable to pursue, like Hunter Biden’s laptop.

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.
