Jake Tapper should write a book next about how insiders knew that the guy who beat AOC for the Oversight Committee seat wasn't well. Drop some real news on us, Jake!
You mean drumpf's Afghanistan withdrawal that drumpf negotiated for while simultaneously negotiating for the release of over 5000 Taliban terrorists as well.
Why would I want to support a "reporter" that has VITAL information for voters, but saved it all for a book? He and Woodward can get out of here. If you truly care about this country, TELL US. He has the platform. Too little, too late.
He's an idiot and he's not an author he's a hack that claimed to be a journalist, a talking head for a republican propaganda outlet. This is click bait packaged as a book.
to be inessential like this must be so humiliating. like being unpersoned. i wish i could think of something like that in the news, to draw an analogy, but an example escapes me. anyway it'd be understandable if jake needed to make up something about a muslim democrat again just to feel alive
All of the examples are the same. Kevin Sorbo, the My Pillow Guy, Kid Rock... aging, out-of-touch jerks that no one wants to work with, trying to get their 15 minutes of fame by saying something loud and stupid, hoping that it leads to renewed attention and work.
did nobody tell him that when you write a politics book you have to have a political party ready to buy the books out as a bribe so you can go "it's a NYT best seller~!@!"
He's always been a whole. He's going to get what he deserves. He was one of the first MSM anchors advocating for return to office during COVID too. Has no principles and will say anything for the right price.
He spent four years protecting him from the American people pretending we’re not seeing what we all were seeing and pretends to write a book. He’s more suited to coloring book people not adults whom he lies to on every day basis. Fuck all the way off
I remember when Joel Klein, a reporter for Newsweek, authored a book on the election he’d just covered with the pen name “Anonymous.” I cancelled my subscription over what I saw as unethical, but no one else seemed to care.
It's like he got the idea for this book between the Trump-Biden debate and Biden being forced to withdraw and pitched it to publishers... and then they all just went with it when the entire political landscape changed.
Who did he think would read this trash? We know MAGA doesn’t read. The timing of the release and the unfortunate news of Biden’s cancer diagnosis…womp womp Tapper
See, if you're too stealth in your shilling for the right, they won't do the bulk purchases to fake your book success. Tapper should have timed his inevitable hard right swing to come before the book launch.
Think about how this effected coverage of Biden last summer. Tapper had to be rooting for Biden missteps and could talk about them every day trying to stir up fodder for his book while pretending to be a neutral party.
Credit where credit's due...I thought he'd use a standard MAGA book-buying scheme to inflate the numbers. I guess not! My apologies to the execrable Jake Tapper!
Problem with this book is at 300-something pages, it's too thick to be used as a shim for a short table leg but too thin to be used as ballast in your car trunk
Jake went after the wrong man. Joe did a great job, and you went after someone who truly cares about the American people. Why not write a book about the current lunatic running the US?
He’s a right-wing dirtbag but did he lie in the book? I’ve not seen anyone point out any lies, just complain that he’s pointing out the obvious and naming names of those who hid Biden’s startling decline (which was apparent to everyone at the debate).
That’s pretty thin gruel. Biden was clearly declining for years and the Democratic Party was definitely hiding him. Tapper is a creep, but this reeks of blaming the messenger. Biden should have stepped aside for an open primary. This is the third election in a row the DNC picked the candidate.
There was wall-to-wall coverage, 24x7, for his entire presidency claiming he was declining. No one hid anything. This "hiding" narrative is complete bullshit.
He was cognitively fine for his age. A stutter + being old & tired makes it harder to speak off the cuff, and gets worse w/advanced age.
My problem wasn’t his ability to talk, it was the decisions he was making, like “let’s fund and enable the total elimination of the Gaza population.” His narcissism and refusal to step aside gave us Trump.
In addition to appeasing right wing douchbags on his show, Jake Tapper is boring AF. He rarely challenges the right wing disinformation machines that he invites on his show Tapper jumped the shark and his ratings will free fall.
Agreed. He’s always relished the idea of himself a tough no-nonsense interviewer but in practice is quite the opposite. This trait seems to have accelerated in the last year or two.
The irony!
I’ve wondered lately if all these books are secretly self-published via a payoff to the publisher…surely a penny counter would have pressed the marketing department on this point.
every time you see one of these horrid politics books on the NYT best seller list, it's because the author and publisher are buying thousands of copies to game the system
Resistance libs are the only people who read these books, so idk what he was expecting. If he wanted to sell a book to conservatives he needed to get Charlie Kirk to buy 400 000 copies in bulk and stove them away somewhere.
No idea who he thought his audience was. Dems don't want more 'Biden is old' but now in the form of a big ass book instead of just an article and no Republicans are going to give a shit about reading it.
Who was going to learn anything useful anyway? Biden essentially left politics a year ago. Now he has cancer. He's not mounting a comeback. I have some harsh opinions on Biden, but this behavior at the same time his cancer was announced is pathetic.
Who is the intended audience for this piece of shit? Right wing folks? Because we know they don't read. Unless some republican illegally uses campaign funds to purchase a shitload of copies of your book, it isn't selling.
Just a so-called journalist desperately wanting to be a celebrity. Very typical of the news media in general in America, and spreading like a virus around the world 🌎.

Never trusted his Janus-faced journalism.
And Tapper never seemed to mention that part
F him and that book.

It is usually more accurately described as "going mask off."
Bless his heart.
It's just not relevant since he dropped out.

maybe he should try again?
Then, Tapper: "We totally need to focus on the guy that's not in office to validate the presence of the guy destroying the country! BUY MY BOOK!"
Joe Biden is old
Boring old Jake needs to zipit.🤐
I'm not saying the book is good, but I don't think it's a bust?
Tapper: But... But... Biden was old! You guys-uh!

lololol
The famously library-supporting MAGA crowd?? They view the mere existence of the written word as a threat
Independents? lol
Doomed from the start.
any book written for MAGA got have lots of pictures bro!
#MAGA
See the connection? David Zaslav is the reason CNN viewership has tanked after it's new far-right leanings.
