If the RNC were to buy his book in bulk, they could propel him to NYT bestseller charts, as gratitude for his hatchet job. Easiest way for a so-called journalist to cash out
The slanted coverage of facts - carefully chosen to misrepresent context, especially considering WHO/WHAT the other guy is - is far from being truthful. All that needs to be said: look at the other guy. Was it said? No. I could report Hitler as being a painter. It's factual, but not truthful
Well, you can also say that MSNBC was lying by not presenting Biden’s decline. It comes down to, the Right was correct about Biden, and all the Left leaning media looks terrible. It was partially covered up, but not entirely. We need to be the party of truth, even when we don’t like it.
I didn't say Fox was "fair and balanced." Obviously Trump's a blithering idiot, but I think he's always been this blithering idiot, not because of any age related thing. It's irrelevant, though. Biden was presented as something he was not, and he lied about being a transitional president.
Who’s your audience, Jake? MAGA doesn’t read. And nobody on this side is looking around at the current climate, thinking, “what we really need right now is Jake Tapper’s opinion on Biden.” I hope this book tanks hard and takes your career with it
HOWEVER, where is the outrage at current POTUS? Where is CNN looking for an expose on DJT. They could pick any of multi facets of ill health, ill mental health, law-breaking and downright, bald-faced Treason.
Joe Biden and the team around him let down the nation. He was incapable of running for office. Incapable of continuing in office. He never should have run. That’s on Biden.
Bullshit
Pres Biden was doing great, and its a damn shame that Dems cannot gather round any collegue to help deflect the crap thrown to destroy them. Dems jump in to throw more trash
He was unable to communicate. He never should have run. That isn’t 20/20 hindsight. I’d been saying it since 2022. He was old. He looked old, felt old, seemed old, acted old. I first saw him in 1988. Incredible speakers. He wasn’t even half that man in 2024.
People really seem to agree with your post, but I'm not sure what you object to exactly. Are you upset that he covered this topic? Are you suggesting it's not true? Do you believe that as long as Trump's in office no books should be written that criticize Democrats?
I voted for Harris but even I know that this book is probably not the truth. The Biden family has the public snowed. They aren’t the nice people that they pretend to be. Joe has a nasty temper and she is a witch. People just don’t want to admit it
Jill is a vindictive witch who didn’t want to lose her place in the White House. Biden used to show his temper w the press. He was well known for screaming and swearing at staff
Honestly, that sounds like anti-female propaganda. Where are you getting that from? Jill Biden is incredibly well-respected. As for Joe, your analysis sounds kind of lopsided and trivial.
This is so symptomatic of what’s wrong with journalism today. You can’t tell me your objectivity isn’t compromised when you’re book deal, social media brand and TV appearances are dependent on access and salacious tidbits. These book deals are a real conflict of interest that shouldn’t be allowed.
I still can’t believe that CNN let Jim Acosta go but kept Tapper! He’s gone from journalism to a hair away from Fox host. Disgusting and pathetic. Would NEVER buy any of his shitty books.
Tapper pushed disinformation for the far right (both US and Maple MAGA) during the Ottawa incursion and main part of the COVID pandemic. He undermined my government for Trump.
They can be annoying, but I like some of the regular news people/ journalists. Joe is a blowhard. When he refers to his “glory” days as a pol, he’s pitiful.
Biden may not be that well, and his decision to stay in the race ill-advised, but the real story of the 2025 Election is the rampant voter purging and suppression.
I love how critical information that could change the course of the country is squirrelled away for profit. Jake Tapper has as much integrity as the raw sewage RFK douches in.
I mean, there's definitely a different between writing a novel, a memoir, or a "tell-all" from a journo trying to spice some political intrigue. And when they decide to withhold some sort of sordid detail for a book rather than report it at the time, they absolutely intend for a huge book payoff
“…if he fell”. He still hasn’t fallen and he’s still not in a wheelchair. Disability is disqualifying to the MAGA eugenics let measles and covid kill the weak cult
Oh please get your head out of the sand. Dems botched what should have been a lay up. So sick of this party ever since Bernie got jobbed. Maybe learn some lessons from what went wrong!
Bernie was not a Democrat. There was no obligation to advance his candidacy. And while the Bernie Bros will never admit it, he never would have won the Presidency.
Yea having a primary is so lame, wouldn’t want the people involved in choosing. Let’s keep leaving it to the establishment party elites they do such a great job! Sooner boomers like you are out of the picture the better the party will be!
Agreed, but then I think the answer is we need more than three parties. We need five or six just to shake things up and make people actually take a stand. We could take the model of coalition governments, so compromise isn't dead.
lost all respect for @cnn.com years ago but when I tuned in and saw @jaketapper.bsky.social one day I was instantly reminded why I stopped watching the “news readers” on this station. I actually have a degree in journalism and it’s embarrassing.
Who among us is prepared to face a seething, lying, decorum be damned, mannerless thug, on camera, even under the best of circumstances? My heart went out to kind Joe.
Being mad at Tapper for writing the book is wasted energy. Be mad at Biden for not having the sense to drop out sooner. Blame democrats for installing Harris with no vote and no convention. She was wildly unpopular when she ran the first time. Why did they think it would be different this time?
One thing I don’t like about Blue Sky is there are often vague posts like this original post, and if you ask for details, nobody seems willing to tell you.
his book . . . kind of disgusting . . . like yeah . . . focus on a man who isn't even president anymore - - - let's write about biden and distract the public's attention from the fat fck of a president and all the illegal things he is doing . . but yeah . . . BIDEN
Well if you look seriously at CNN and it’s anchors it is nothing more than the book selling club with “experts” peddling their books. From Fareed on down it’s just a tv marketing tool, and throw in some paid political pundants from each side of the political spectrum to show “balance” as a cover.
In Reagan it was quite evident. I haven’t heard much about this book but no way President Biden was all that bad. He had a very bad debate but he spoke often, didn’t use notes, his words made sense. He’s an 80 year old man who pulled us through the mess felon left & deserves our thanks & respect.
There’s different forms of dementia, what’s dangerous is they can be taken advantage of. Look at Trump right now compliment him and give him money and you can get anything you want. Biden had such a righteous cabinet, no one except for Bibi was allowed to do so.
Guys like Tapper elected Trump. Not helped, they achieved it. Trump is far more demented than Biden on his worst day. And his dementia is contagious. Yet they enabled Trump with their bothsidesism and whataboutism that failed to correctly identify Trump as a criminal and threat to America...
I’m gonna read the book about him before I comment. Sure, he was competent when he began in 2020, but by the time he left, was he? The fact that he said one term and then flucked over the party by not walking away, is that is where his competence ended?
He was. Much got accomplished by Biden in 2024. He might have been more timid than I would have liked (as was Merrick Garland), but he did bring down drug prices (which Trump reversed, just before he decided to issue an ineffective Executive Order cut get drug companies to cut them)
Just now you found out what Tapper is? No one remembers his fawning interview with Leann Tweeden about horror of horrors Al Franken on a comedy tour with the USO? It was disgusting beyond belief.
I apologize up front…but do you honestly think he’d have won? I am afraid I don’t. Too many cards stacked against that outcome. Whatever we kearn from this, learn is theoperative word. I would equally welcome such an expose on anyone else.
The world is on fire and it will take us a long time to dig out of this moral and ethical morass…..that said, there were dems who could have won this if the guy who said he was “the bridge” would have let them. Hoping recent off-year elections demonstrate a positive trend for mid-term and beyond.
Fuck Tapper. Couldn’t ask Trump about the cities all over America burning during his first teem as President during the debate. Or unlawful seizures. Or his pathetic response to the pandemic.
One of the greatest presidents in US history used a wheelchair. Doctors said there was no indication of mental decline. He was a wise old man that stuttered and used logic instead of lies and occasionally misspoke. Like many people do everyday
Literally ghoulish behavior by Tapper. I didn’t have much respect for the man before but this is just a gross money grab at the expense of Bidens legacy. It’s either a complete lie or he’s basically making fun of a senior with cognitive issues. Both are horrible looks. Karma is coming for Jake.
I gave up on @jaketapper.bsky.social when he and Dana listened to Trump spewing lie after lie and just said “thank you, Mr Trump”. I don’t care that @cnn said no fact checking- there is such a thing as journalistic integrity and having a personal moral compass.
It serves no purpose except to feed the MAGA conspiracies and DJT’s ego, instead of acknowledging the great President we so desperately needed after Trump 1.0. Oh, and to make money. Sad!
Jake Tapper capitalizing on the situation is gross, but Biden’s staff and campaign staff should shove it more. They could have done something, but instead, they wanted to protect their careers. I halfway think they deserve to be blacklisted.
Sorry, but Biden never should have run for a second term. That’s just a fact. They screwed us over. Had there been a primary, good chance Trump wouldn’t be president right now.
@jaketapper.bsky.social and the rest of @cnn.com got what they wanted in the #Psychopath grifter who is currently sucking up to the #Saudi King who #Murdered Journalist Khashoggi and chopped him to pieces!

We have a child predator in the White House trying to be a king, but, sure, Jake, let's talks about the guy who isn't in power and wasn't even running.
He did an amazing job. Especially if that was him in "cognitive decline". It feels very ableist to condemn someone for their condition while ignoring their achievements.
I propose that we call him by the names and descriptors that he is, instead of using his actual name in the books: "So, Piece Of Shit tried to get rid of Medicaid, and his Naz* Followers in Congress didn't care to stop him. Asshole also got rid of bodily autonomy for women & girls. This dipshit..."
Right! Elderly people do not all have dementia. We live in an extremely ageist society with many prejudices against older people. That is the dynamic surrounding Biden, not his true abilities. In the meantime, we quibble about him while the dumpy regime is dismantling our democracy.
OK Clooney is not in the news like he used to be so it’s been a while and if Biden doesn’t see him, he’s not sitting there and watch TV 24 seven that’s not Biden! So the fact he wouldn’t recognizing him isn’t shit! Let’s do a real test Biden against the felon!
It's actually credit to Biden to not be overly concerned with celebrity. Clooney sounds like an entitled douche who was butthurt that he wasn't recognized. How egotistical can you get? Then he writes an OP because *gasp* someone didn't recognize him. He's a nobody.
Clooney was co-hosting the fund raiser and has known Biden for years. When we become apologists for Biden, we look like MAGA. It's ok to admit that Biden should have stepped aside sooner.
Literally spending all week revealing the huge cover up that... "Biden is old", while ignoring the fact that trump took a half-billion dollar bribe and is now visiting the September 11th country to get even more bribes from those murderers.
Not to mention he literally talked about the size of Arnold Palmer's dong at a campaign rally!! Um, hello?!? America?? *tap tap*
Is this thing on?!?!?!

let's get this done
@jaketapper.bsky.social is scum.
🇨🇦
I think I just saw an insect fly into his trap.
@jaketapper.bsky.social
David Plouffe (Obama '08 campaign manager) is quoted as saying by authors Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson
in "Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, & His Disastrous Choice to Run Again."
And may George Clooney’s Italian villa fall into the river.
Ignore him, I do.
Given the current circumstances the world is in.
There’s one book about Biden, I want to read it.
I think he screwed up and I may find out WTF?
StarlinkX did the winning for trump + for control of congress.
They all admitted to it
Actual text: "Biden's doctor suggested he may need to use a wheelchair in his next term due to a fractured foot in 2020."
#MSM has been bought.
Do you think THEY'LL listen?
Torpid Trump: Swaddled in Cold Crusted Turpitude and Power Naps

I really can't wait to miss it or Jake Tapper.
is this the one about sleepy joe?
but not about pedophile donnie?
Oh... oh Jesus. Fucking pathetic.
Was it in crayon?
That could be the sequel.
Recovering from a broken hip *IS* a difficult thing to recover from. Most humans need a wheelchair! FFS!
Go away, Jake, just get the fuck out of town. I am boycotting any show that has him on! Done!

Is this thing on?!?!?!
Maybe Tapper should've wrote about his mental decline when that happened, and demolished him like he would have if Biden or Harris had done it.
