I've never cared for tapper. I haven't read his book and I won't, but if all his book is a smear job on President Biden who is dying from cancer then tapper is truly fucked up. 😡
This information should’ve been available free via the news so that we would’ve had more time to select a candidate for the 2024 election. That’s when this information would’ve been important. The profits off of it is ridiculous and disrespectful.
Exactly. He did end his candidacy, but folks could not vote for a non-white woman. Should he have not run for a second term? Absolutely. But what’s done is done, and Tapper is wasting everyone’s time. He’d better investigate what’s going on NOW.
Okay so…..wtf is the point of this book at this time? What a piece of shit you are Tapper. You and the co-author who were apparently in closets and hiding around the corner of every room of the Bidens? Why not report on the orange illiterate dementia asshole ruining our U.S.?
There are no words to defend what they did to President Biden. It is not at all possible they missed his cancer diagnosis. Whoever was pulling the marionette strings his final year in office decided maybe he can win, let him stay in the race, it would be a very short second term.
With all the horrors occurring presently, why would Jake Tapper write/release a book about Pres. Biden's decline? There is plenty of fodder in this Administration for a "sensational" book. Biden is such a decent man, who worked hard for the American people not to enrich himself. It's a gut punch!
It’s a complete waste of energy. Nothing can affect what’s happened. Tapper SHOULD HAVE put his time and effort into researching how one man has managed to gaslight half the country and turn them into cult members. Now THAT would be worth reading.
Jake Tapper seems very clearly to be an irrelevant has-been with a huge ego trying to become relevant again by publishing a book that panders to right wing conspiracy nuts.
@jaketapper.bsky.social should be ashamed. The fact that he has to go on Megan Kelly and other MAGA outlets to hawk his garbage book serves him right - that audience either can't read or won't read his book.
Hey Jake, there's a rumor that Trump is a 'very stable genius.'
What are your thoughts?
When I think of Trump and his 'good friend,' Jeff Epstein.
If you want to write a book involving smut, that's a goldmine.
Why attack the Biden family now? That's a shitty, thing to do.
Reminds me of Trump.
Aside from the fact that the WH should have been more honest, Tapper was part of the cover-up and now seeks to profit off a tell-all about the cover-up as the news breaks....so, F* him.
fwiw, and imo only, bitching about Cheetolini's dishonest health reports is no longer a good look for the left.
I feel so bad for the Biden family.It is EGREGIOUS what the media is doing to Joe and has done to Hunter.THEY NEED TO SUE THEM!FILE A LAWSUIT JOE.PLEASE QUIT BEING SO NICE!
Yep. @jaketapper.bsky.social is a has been. Should just go be rich somewhere. His appearance on @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social was a disgrace of a man who has given in.
His age caught up with him, as it does all of us. At least he was competent, had seasoned advisors, and respected the rule of law. The rest is palace intrigue. OTOH, there's an absolute abrogation of oath and decency that is happening as we speak, and all we hear are crickets.
Today would be a great day for Jake Tapper to announce that he's donating all the profits from his new book to those working to find a cure for prostate cancer.
If JT&crew had any dignity they could've announced that they were delaying release for a few days out of respect. - PR/ Publishers can do that (books sit in back rooms 4 a few extra days, books come out with "regular fanfare" days later). The fact they didn't, says it everything we need to know.
It makes me angry that they don't have neuropsychologists weighing in. Normal aging and decline are labeled pathological and mixed with physical issues for no apparent reason. (Would it actually matter if he is having trouble with balance? Or needed a wheelchair?) This is ageist and irrelevant.
Biden should have never run again and they knew it. This is not the only reason, but it is one of them, we "all" are paying for it now. She can say whatever she wants and she's entitled to. That doesn't change what happened.
I put him in the same bag as Woodward and Haberman. Useless and self serving. To think they used to be serious journalists puts all their previous work into question.
And Tapper’s abuse of the former Prez is pathetic enough to watch that I refuse to.
Interviewer: "Mr. Jakeoff, are you ready to say the Felon in the White House is smarter than, a lot smarter, or a much better president than President Biden???"
If you’re really asking, I think Biden was in pretty serious decline and should have never run for reelection and everyone wants to hang Tapper for calling out the BS that resulted in Trump getting elected.
People make this big deal about Joe Biden not remembering the date of his son's death. I can't speak for him, but I'm a lot younger and my father died of cancer. I don't remember the exact day, but I do think of my father every single day.
Cancer is an awful disease. I'm not saying this is how it works for everyone, but even if it's fast, you witness the decline over more than one day. For me, the death felt like it didn't just happen on that day.
The article cites other items, but remembering date of death is not a big deal to me.
Frankly, none of it is a big deal. If Biden ever decides to run for public office again it'll be a big deal but right now he's some random citizen who holds no direct power and surprisingly little political power.
Even if he ran for office again, Biden would still be an vast step up from what we have now. To me, remembering the date-of-death shouldn't be a big deal period.
Agreed that he would be a step up from trump, and also agreed that when you're watching someone die a little every day pinpointing the date of medical death just feels very unimportant, especially years later.
But yeah, the fact that we're even talking about Biden right now feels insane to me.
We've got House Budget meetings in the dead of night and Cabinet secretaries willfully ignorant of the Constitution and their organizations. There's open corruption and plenty of drama in the current White House.
I can't stand any main stream media people since Dan Rather was on. I stand by Joe's granddaughter, I'm sure it's all hype and glitter bombs to make Joe look incompetent
I'm not looking for anything here, perhaps there is a misunderstanding . So to clarify I'm married, happily so, older than I care to acknowledge but young at heart. I follow like-minded people, not hook ups
My thoughts are that the name she called it is extremely polite and mild compared to what it ought to be called: money-grubbing, ethically-challenged yellow journalism.
When CNN changed tone a while back, I was "give JT a chance", he'll no doubt be working hard from the inside to push back against the oligarchy. But with this book, in light of everything else, I'll be junking all copies of Jake's works, done, stick a fork in them.
im still not over how msm handled biden’s age during the election. reminiscent of their complete “but her emails” failure. book is an extension of that. there are much more important things going on in our nation, the world.
She's absolutely correct. Jake Tapper is not a journalist, never was. He's an attention whore. He's a self promoting narcissist with little to no intellectual capacity or ability. He's a coward and therefore the perfect front man for the lies of the suppurating pustule. Self important twat
Not impressed. If it was such an alarming issue, why didn't he reveal this information when Biden was in office. It's all about the $$ with these people.
The endless promotion of this book should be viewed as a textbook example of Noam Chomsky's theory of "Manufacturing Consent". As America burns, its media plays a fiddle.
Have not read it, if the book is factual I find it hard to disapprove on that subject alone. But, when the motivation moves beyond journalism into profit for the authors things are more murky.
I’m waiting for the book about Jake Tapper that highlights how a journalist can sell their integrity instead of reporting on our country’s slide into fascism.
Jake Tapper is a grifter. He's out there now apologizing to Lara Trump, and Megyn Kelly. He sold out. He is just going where he thinks the money is. Wouldn't call him a journalist with integrity.
Good for her! Many of these Washington journalists only care about themselves and have never lived a “normal” life where you worry about how expensive your kids’ doctor’s bill is, haven’t taken a vacation in 10 years and have student loans from the 1990s.
I mean, his mental health decline wasn't even the worst thing about him, that was his enablement of a genocide. But who cares, right now we have bigger problems
There is a legitimate broader question about ill/unfit pols—Reagan, McConnell, sooo many members in the house on both sides of the aisle. However, tapper is making a buck about old news when the most unfit politician in history destroys our nation in the world. And he knows it.
How about @jaketapper.bsky.social take a close look at #47. Might have to be brave, though. Doesn’t take much courage to punch an old guy on the canvas.
My thoughts are simple. In this time of Trump-driven challenge to American democracy, it was outrageous for Tapper and friends to put out a book trashing Biden (who did a solid job as president) and to further weaken the Democrats' standing among the American public.
She's not wrong. Biden left the US economy in great shape regardless of what anyone speculates about his state of mind. I think the focus should be on the current WH dumpster fire and what it's doing to your country now.
Is he the one who started the "Biden's too old" crap? Maybe the trump mole in the media? CNN is an extension of Fox anyway. 🤮 The honest to god fake news.
Agree with her 100%. There is a Dictator in the WH. Tapper should write a book titled "Descended into Dictatorship" & keep the Biden family's name out of his filthy mouth. I'm fuming & disgusted at CNN pushing this hatchet job. Biden wasn't perfect but the USA flourished under his Government.
I always shy away from criticizing journalists telling the truth about a politician. I’m pretty consistently a “facts matter” kind of guy, even when it’s my guy who’s not cast in the best light as a result. I do not like double standards.
We must also be as judicious in assessing whether a writer has done the job of a good journalist and rooted out “facts” — from what I’ve read about the book so far is that it’s based on anonymous sources. That’s not a disqualifier necessarily, but in this case there are named sources who discount…
…the contentions in the book and who are in much better positions to know than anonymous sources we’ve heard before. The conspiracy is not on people hiding some Biden health scandal, but on people creating one — that’s the “Sin”
He’s just trying to sell a fictional book. He repeatedly proves it by bringing it up constantly at the end of his show. What happened to journalistic integrity.
Also, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
His motives and credibility should be challenged. He should sit in the hot seat with journalists not from CNN and explain his actions.
There are more important issues, like the current corrupt and incompetent administration.
Tapper’s actions relative to that book are why the Fourth Estate is on life support. Bradley, Halberstam, Safer, Kuralt, Wallace, etc., would never have done something so self-serving and called it relevant. Perhaps in a decade to get it on the record. But like this is tone deaf. DO NO HARM!
Sounds like the usual right-wing attack on anyone who threatened their existence, after all, they hounded Obama trying to claim he was an immigrant who couldn't serve as president, and yet, they were proven to be making shit up, as per usual...
@jaketapper.bsky.social. You've earned this ratio.
Apologize.
Donate every bloody dollar you make off your trash book to cancer research...since it no longer will be funded by the government you helped install and continue to enable.
Have no idea. As Kamala said "we're not going back". It seems a little more relevant to me that the current occupant of the Whitehouse appears to have alzheimers.
They want to create a narrative that all of today’s problems and future problems are because of coverups during Biden. Lies. Even if his book was factual, I still wouldn’t care.
Even IF, but I don’t believe it is. It relies on anonymous sources and my guess has no medical professional with first-hand knowledge attesting to any of it
I would rather have Biden as our prez than who we have today. T has similar problems and is totally checked out. Biden had competent people around him. T has evil men who want to bring harm to many. Why write the book now? Who does it benefit outside of Tapper?
This was a scumbag thing to do to make a buck Tapper. Biden gave his all to try to serve the People. Now you gave the despots more fodder to shift blame from the most corrupt Administration in history. Shame!
I think everybody needs to move on, the man is 82 with cancer and deserves some peace. Whether you agree with his policies or not there just no denying things were better when he was POTUS than they are now.
Comments
Tapper has officially gone over to the dark side.
The Trump, "we will never forget” side.
No coming back from. Integrity zero.
Those are my thoughts in a nutshell.
Good epithet for a thing of questionable value
For those compelled to read the book, borrow, don’t buy
#DontBuyTheBook
#FocusOnTrump
Really disappointed in Tapper
Thought he was more professional
What are your thoughts?

Jake Crapper can crap on his stupid book. Looking forward to seeing him fade like all other CNN rejects. 🤬
No one should buy it, in ANY case.
Everything we are told about Trumps health is a lie.
And EVERYBODY knows it.
And Tapper’s abuse of the former Prez is pathetic enough to watch that I refuse to.
The book is nearly all fictional bullshit.
It was done to Fox.
Let's repeat.
Tapper Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is real and affects people from all political backgrounds.
The article cites other items, but remembering date of death is not a big deal to me.
But yeah, the fact that we're even talking about Biden right now feels insane to me.
We've got House Budget meetings in the dead of night and Cabinet secretaries willfully ignorant of the Constitution and their organizations. There's open corruption and plenty of drama in the current White House.
Like, we know there's a T Rex and lots of velociraptors eating people now?
bullshit, more shit, piled higher deeper
What little respect I may have had for Jake's done and gone.
And that is the nicest thing I can say about him at this point.
BREAKING NEWS! Old age affects one's physical and mental ability. 😡
Damn. I'm calling everything that for a while.
Don't make me laugh
Bad joke and an asshole
As I would be.
It was also intermittently present.
Former President Biden is not at fault.
We all saw what was happening.
I hope his book fails miserably.
Now I have a lower opinion of him.
Much lower
Where are my journalism ethics peeps on this?
Biden Administration was great 👍
Biden didn't screw much up.
Until he tried to run again, instead of retiring a hero.
He gave us Trump.
Pretending that's not a reasonable claim - is what MAGA does with Trump.
...like attacking the source.
1. I love Joe
2. Tapper has been Scott Jennings-ized
3. CNN is finished
4. See 1-3
Oh, and then his tell-all book. “How I Trashed an Old Man With Cancer”.
Also, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
His motives and credibility should be challenged. He should sit in the hot seat with journalists not from CNN and explain his actions.
There are more important issues, like the current corrupt and incompetent administration.
🖕🏽 Jake Tapper
A whore not worthy of licking Cronkite’s boots.
Apologize.
Donate every bloody dollar you make off your trash book to cancer research...since it no longer will be funded by the government you helped install and continue to enable.
They were hyping a book
