We care about Biden having cancer - that's been a big focus of his for decade. We have sympathy and wish the best for him and Jill and Hunter and the rest of the gang.
We DGAF about interview recordings from years ago!!!!!
WTF is happening at CNN? Are they trying to say, with no evidence, that Biden delayed announcement of his aggressive cancer until it was politically convenient?
Yes, because they don’t understand the idea of processing such horrible news. If it was their family member, they probably just shoot them and take the inheritance.😏
Biden is better than that, they know it.
Hmm...interesting is that the Robert Hur clips surfaced about the same time that the Qatar plane "gift" hit the news. President Biden has been out of office for how long?
In other words, a significant piece of news trumped a glob of pathetic tittle tattle designed solely to smear the reputation of a decent man (whose stance on Gaza I nevertheless strongly disagree with).
Biden has been an easy target for media with no repercussions, now they look like assholes
CNN has no credibility left anymore
They were dead after that debate that did not fact check Trump
Time to do their jobs and own up to the fact that Trump is their job
The utter,open contempt the mainstream media has do Biden will never cease to amaze me. I really don’t see how he’s substantively different than a bunch of other high-level politicians, but the media started kicking him from pretty much the minute he was sworn in and never stopped.
The billionaires that own corporate media did not appreciate having an effective Dem protecting labor rights and boosting unionization in every field including media, bringing back fair tax rates for corporations & the wealthy, bringing anti-trust cases to monopolies in tech/media industry.
Looks like Comrade Stelter is joining Comrade Tapper in the Biden hit parade. MSM can all go fuck themselves, bring some Meidas Touch over the airwaves
I haven’t watched a bit of CNN in over a year. They were my go-to for years. Stopped all MSM after the election. Cancelled live TV streaming. The blatant hypocrisy was too much.
Also amazing timing that back in 2016 the very day POTUS held a pc to tell the American people that Russia was actively involved in election interference, the mass media put out a “Grab em by the P*word” video someone sat on for 11 years
This is possibly the most obvious cover-up ever! Audio tapes proving biden has been demented for years come out, and suddenly they discover he has cancer lol.
As someone who’s watched politics since the world became hopeful with Obama’s election, I am absolutely appalled at how Joe Biden, who’s given his entire life to service in a real meaningful way, even amongst the worst heartbreak is being treated. America sure has revealed itself.
Go-dammit, he does not deserve this (no-one does) but not HIM, not NOW ... its just fodder for these shit-eating vampires. No compassion, no decency, no frikkin' humanity.
They deplore anything with morals, conviction and good in them. It makes them feel uncomfortable about who they are so they hate all things good, genuine and requiring sympathy, empathy or respect because they don’t possess these qualities.
Yeah the Hur interview was burning up the charts. Biden had to get cancer to distract everyone from it. Glad CNN is all over this so we can get back to talking about Tapper’s book.
You literally posited a connection between Biden’s cancer announcement and trumps disgusting ploy to smear him.
Take a vacation for a while, think about it.
Sorry but ‘sympathy’ is not what came across in your statement about President Biden and his cancer diagnosis.
Is this how you need to act to keep your new job after CNN fired you from your Sunday show?
Christ, there is more and better actual journalism being done by a host of ppl on Substack, who are not getting paid at all, or barely making anything.
Yet here you are, making good money for this.
Lucky for me, I actually like ramen.
I think it’s a fair point but maybe your post could have been clearer. The other question still remains - why didn’t you post it on Bluesky too? Sympathy for Biden’s circumstance would have been better received on this site than the other which want’s to make a conspiracy out of the timing.
That doesn’t sound like sympathy when you are a media critic. That sounds like you are looking under the rock for hidden meaning behind the timing of these media messages.
It’s your brand. Own it.
Go back to X, you fucking scumbag. Sympathy has nothing to do with it. Keep running cover for your president, along with your pathetic network. You'll always be the "other" to them. You will not be spared.
There is no sympathy in your tone. Granted it's slightly more tasteful than Donald Trump Jr.'s post. Not even the slightest hint of sympathy in those words.
Its not just the tweet. Your interview about the timing seemed more focused on hyping the Tapper book and pointing out how the cancer diagnosis would put a pause in that conversation rather than sounding sympathetic to Biden having to deal with the coverage. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJ0B5aPP5VB/
Yeah its not like you have a degree that would imply that you know how to phrase things that don't insinuate a cause and effect relationship. Just a smoll bean blogger that plays with words as side gig. Not like you have a decade or so of experience.
Do you have any idea what to reach that sounds like? I’m guessing nobody in these comments thought you meant that. As somebody who should be an expert with words, this certainly missed the mark if that was your true intention.
I really do think he was just simply making a statement. There's a lot that I disagree with when it comes to Stetler, but I think people are reading too much into this.
Perhaps you didn't, but this post reminds me vividly of the extraordinary efforts you went to to post an extraordinary number of tweets calling for Biden to leave the race. You were one of the first, one of the loudest and one of the most persistent. We remember.
I also wanted Biden to leave the race. I was very upset when he wanted to run for a second term. He was not the person he was in 2019. He diminished dramatically after his first Covid bout.
I also think it’s disgusting that CNN relentlessly promotes Tapper’s book.
These two things can both be true.
You did say the timing was extraordinary. Perhaps it was the ordinary sequence of events. You are suggesting there is something more than just ordinary timing. That sounds conspiratorial to me.
You questioned the timing, suggesting manipulation. The timing was totally normal. If they received the news on Friday it’s so very ordinary that they’d sit with it a day, tell loved ones first, then announce publicly. Your post is cheap journalism.
why not allowing comments?
why run and hide when you post something?
why post some 'speculation' instead of 'reporting'?
why should anyone think you have credibility?
What about the timing of the House Budget Committee meeting at 10pm on Sunday to vote on the Big BS Bill? Could it be that maybe they knew the media would be focused on Biden’s diagnosis instead of the vote?
You, tapper and that entire network are traitors. My Mother had cancer and it was a terrible experience. You are all absolutely VILE and DISGUSTING for this.
My uncle died of stage four lung cancer. I sat through the test to check for cancer cells and watched his body light up like a Christmas tree. He died within days. Fuck cancer.
Are you drunk already on a Monday morning? Take off your "I did not" glasses and read the words YOU posted..."Extraordinary timing..." displays exactly what others are pointing out to you. And how do you explain this sympathy claim when the same statement didn't make it to Bluesky timeline. CRUEL!
🎯Exactly This 🎯
This country is being eviscerated by a maniac ‼️
Why continue with an issue that can Never be resolved and can only distract us from saving ourselves from an odious group of arsonists and grifters ❓⁉️
@brianstelter.bsky.social What do you think 'interesting' signifies here? Either way, it's gossipy, pedantic behavior from someone in journalism. A classless, lowbrow hit on a man with cancer.
Suggest looking up from your Biden notes to find anything in in 2025 politics worthy of reporting.
These are dangerous and frightening times. All this discussion about the past and Biden’s help is a distraction. I want the people that hid Biden’s decline punished too, but it’s pretty far down my list and their punishments would be commensurate with the fact that it was not a crime.
It's a valid observation, but there is no way to know for certain that the timing isn't coincidental. I see why you and others would find it to be suspect.
You are a monster. In the face of the ongoing outrages and assaults on democracy and decency, you choose to redirect focus onto a ginned up controversy from the past.
CNN is not what it was. I no longer watch as enduring the parade of apologists sane-washing the Nazi takeover of our government is UNACCEPTABLE. Sorry, Brian, you chose poorly. History tells us where this will go if not stopped. It never ends well for journalists.
You didn't make that point at all. At least own what you said. There was not one iota of sympathy in your post or recognition of what Biden is dealing with.
he’s employed by the same network which looks for every opportunity to promote tapper’s vile book and apparently Brian who once fired by cnn for being too blue thinks there is some sort of collusion here ignoring that men over 70 aren’t screened unless a serious issue presents itself
I love how Nyt publishes those audio clips like they’re a big smoking gun of how senile he was, until you listen to them.
Then it reminds you how demented the media is that it focuses on some nothingburger Biden audio while Trump actively refused to return classified files.
Umm 🤔 why were those clips “all over the news?” Biden is no longer president. If you claim something foolish like he will run again, you’re delusional. 86??? 🤦🏼♀️
Your country is trash now, honestly i hate saying it but us (the rest of the world) see what we see.
Some of these comments about Biden by people in high positions of influence sickens me inside!
I can't do this America thing anymore!
I know some of you are good people, i just can't do hate anymore!
Who cares what Biden’s cognitive state was at the end. The fact is that he was still able to perform as the Chief Executive and did an incredible job. A President is not a dictator. They’re executives that delegate appropriately. Biden did exactly that and effectively
Maybe this diagnosis is the reason why Joe was slow about deciding not to run again. He realized what was coming. Perhaps the cancer was caught last yr & its effects were becoming evident last spring. We may never know but this I do: Joe Biden was a great president & I’m grateful for his service. 🙏🏻
He really was. He brought us out of a COVID ravaged economy and created one that was stronger than it was pre-COVID. He achieved a nigh impossible task

Why is Trump’s administration ignoring
Court Orders?
Solution: Courts need to find him in Open Sedition for failing to follow the constitution!
Problem: Republicans Congressional Majority and The DOJ love power more than our our civil liberties!
#TrumpOpenSedition
Trump deserves to be in El Salvador Prison. Try reading if you can. Trump was convicted 34 times by his peers. He has been accused by several women of various inappropriate sexual acts.
Oh, how did he look in his mug shoot?
Most people don’t know this, but when Jeffrey Toobin was fired for masturbating during a Zoom meeting, he was also watching Brian Stelter masturbating to him.
Funny how the five minutes released to Axios, shows a temporarily confused man, while everyone who's listened to all the interview tapes said that Joe was sharp and nuanced on almost every other question.
A hit job that our MSM is selling to you, for ad revenue.
As someone who struggles w/ time blindness due to a LD, I would MISERABLY fail any false litmus test of my cognition using time. Grief, can cause or exacerbate this. I almost passed out recently that we lost Chris Cornell in 2017 - feels like months to me.
Grief completely exacerbates this. Experienced time dilation, for me, was a bit astonishing. Then again, while most were living their present, I was painfully reliving my past with my wife. Barely even here. On autopilot.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Battling trauma with this additional problem, compounds the pain, even when that doesn't seem possible. Mindbending shit, for sure. 💙✌
Thank you for your condolences. I've crossed the Rubicon. Now when I think about her (every day), the loss is still there, but the overwhelming feeling is my gratefulness to have had the time we did together. Not by choice, but I'm living a different life now, and I'm fairly content. ❤️
It makes PERFECT sense to me, and let's be fucking real, for anyone coming from a place of honesty, these was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING astonishing about this. Anyone who has lost a loved one experiences the time frame of that trauma differently, day-to-day. Bad-faith, utter shite, as per usual.
I started despising this nasty twerp last summer. That has not improved. What kind of asshole has a problem when somebody with a stutter uses a teleprompter frequently as adaptive equipment. Hope this little bastard gets his due karma.
God what a dick. There's not even anything damning in the tapes, and yes, 2 things can happen on the same day you get a cancer diagnosis. The world keeps spinning. Things keep happening.
While Biden had protection in his circle that may have caused Americans to worry about his mental state and physical well-being, the general consensus was well known that even in-between 2016 leading up to 2020 that Biden was pushing himself on all fronts.
I don't necessarily think his cancer is in direct relation to his prior cognitive and speech issues but there may have been other issues in the last year that contributed to it.
At the end of the day, Biden is FORMER and Trump is PRESENTLY the President and I greatly rather spend more time analyzing why Trump's been LYING about his health since, well... THE ENTIRE TIME THAT HE'S ENTERED THE POLITICAL RING.
I no longer watch CNN because there is not one pundit or reporter that I can connect with...other than the occasional Anderson Cooper report. It's such a shame that they have sold their soul.
The media needs to be absolutely ridiculed every time they ask about Joe Biden! First off it’s not news! Second off he had a great presidency! Why are the media such suckers? That needs to be the question if they ask about Biden! Why do you take the bait of every republican lie? Why are you suckers?
Wow, now I’m really glad we voted in the pedophile rapist felon grifter intent on liquidating all the country’s assets for his own pocket regardless of the needless death and suffering it creates! Thanks Mr. Newsman.
I’ve been saying this since the was “shot”, the lack physical trauma, he’s allowed to stand and give his fake salute, hairs not out of place, secret service isn’t shielding and dragging him out, weapons drawn, so fake
The fact that the GOP isn’t clamoring for an investigation of this is quite curious, no? They’re so quick to pin the blame on Dems but they won’t get actual evidence from a life-threatening event? But say bad things about Trump and you get investigated. Something reeks
His silence speaks loudest of all. He would be milking this like crazy- not just with the sale of pre-made “fight” photos. No follow-ups with shooter family, the victims- no funerals. No investigations.
Not only that he doesn't talk about it, he didn't allow LE or medical experts to talk about it either! I've lived through shootings of both Kennedys, Reagan, MLK, and never was there an almost TOTAL blackout of details! The fix was in!
One nearly dead politician isn't quite as good as if he'd just pls die. Then we can stfu about at least one of them.
Meidas touch is just leftist propaganda btw. No different than daily wire, or any other "we're winning, don't panic" bullshit. Yall are idiots for supporting dem leadership so much.
Why didn’t @brianstelter.bsky.social post that here? I guess he feels the first thing Biden should have done is release that info publicly. Biden is a good, decent man & has never deserved this treatment from the media. @cnn.com @jaketapper.bsky.social and Stelter have repeatedly proven they are 💩
I have stage 4 prostate cancer since 2029. It has metastasized into my pelvic bones.
The disease had zero impact on my ability to continue living the way I did pre cancer. I take hormone pills everyday and once a quarter I get a Lupron shot.
The cancer has not grown
And then Biden waited 3 days to let America know - so the timing didn't help him. JFC - the man is dying and people think he is making it an advantage.
My God, American democracy is being ripped out to the roots, and CNN cannot stop for a second attacking a former president who hardly appears in public and has aggressive cancer.
We haven’t watched CNN at all in a year and will never watch these motherfuckers again.
i stopped watching CNN long time ago. in fact, we no longer have any American mainstream news. the reason being is that it is no longer news or journalism , but talking heads following ownership decrees, in that Trump cannot be challenged, even when they know they should.
I do not believe in coincidences when it comes to the party machine. The timing of this sad news is planned to subvert from the truth of the cover up of the dem machine.
Joe Biden stepped down . He's out of office & doesn't hold any official position, so why the loving fk should any of what that little runt is reporting matter ..
If only they concerned themselves with the current President who is rapidly destroying America ..
They really aren't. Just because they smile and speak softly, they are still grifters, murderers, war mongers, colonists, insider traders, genocide enablers/perpetrators, liars, cheats. You be fooled by the veneer if you choose to be 😉
the democrats have their problems, but at least they dont nominate felons, neonazi alcoholic fox news hosts and conspiracy theorists. So yes I would say they use a higher standard.
I mean that's just patently wrong, a significant proportion are from leftists who will tell you instead "all of these people are monsters, and therefore they all need to go".
You talking to me? I don't think Democrats (the party as it exists today) are anywhere near Republicans. Kamala wasn't going to get rid of Due Diligence. Kamala wasn't going to ban DEI. Kamala wasn't going to roll back every environmental protection in existence.
I’ll take that as a no, you can’t give an example of democrats thinking of themselves as a higher status. And if that’s not what you were trying to say then write more clearly. I asked a clarifying question and you reply with pedantry about punctuation.

Exactly what I was about to say. I’m madder today than I was yesterday. It’s ridiculous. He’s not President now. Tfg is. Let’s hear his REAL health update! The media needs to STFU! Praying for President Biden. 🙏🙏❤️❤️
If they timed the release to offset the rising media attention to his mental condition, good for them. WTF is going on? You have the Mango Moron destroying the country in every way and the media can’t resist demonizing the man who had many real accomplishments.
This is abhorrent @cnn.com . You pander to Trump and elevate all of his petty - and purposeful - distractions while glossing over the myriad concerns his behavior brings to light. Yet THIS is how you handle the news of President Biden’s diagnosis? Oh, can I just say — go to hell.
I hate those Pussies who play that fucking bullshit on here and before when I was in Twitter. If you’re gonna open your fucking mouth take the fucking hits in the comments.

Genuine question, I was younger and probably misremembered.
It's bizarre how much they hate him for... not being interesting? I really don't get it.
Or else their support of Trump WILL look a whole lot less justified.
Spoiler alert, it IS in fact indefensible, but anyway.
They have Trump back doing his outrage and they still go back to Biden even though no one cares. It's pathological.
