Early excerpts indicate a focus on revealing startling instances of Biden&#8217;s mental frailty, including a moment when actor George clooney was reportedly shocked that biden did not recognize him at a fundraiser.<\/p>\n<p>While the book promises to shed light on the administration&#8217;s denial regarding Biden&#8217;s condition, critics argue that Tapper himself played a important role in this media cover-up over the years.Despite occasionally addressing Biden&#8217;s cognitive issues, Tapper and CNN have frequently enough defended the White House&#8217;s narrative, particularly prior to the 2024 election. Instances include dismissing concerns as politically motivated and amplifying Democratic rebuttals against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-snaps-at-press-days-after-reveal-that-he-swears-at-white-house-staff\/\" title=\"...s recent outburst at press follows revelation of his profanity towards White House staff.\">reports highlighting biden&#8217;<\/a>s decline.<\/p>\n<p>The critique emphasizes that while Tapper&#8217;s forthcoming revelations may expose inner workings of Biden&#8217;s circle, they conveniently overlook the complicity of media figures, including Tapper himself, in perpetuating a narrative that downplayed serious concerns about the president&#8217;s cognitive abilities. The argument suggests that Tapper&#8217;s current stance may be more about self-preservation and less about genuine accountability, urging the public to recognize the media&#8217;s shared duty in confronting the truth about biden&#8217;s condition.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Jake Tapper&rsquo;s forthcoming new book, &ldquo;Original Sin: President Biden&rsquo;s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,&rdquo; &mdash; co-written by Axios&rsquo; Alex Thompson &mdash; promises to expose the Biden administration&rsquo;s efforts to conceal the former president&rsquo;s cognitive decline.<\/p>\n<p>That is, objectively, a good thing.

He and CNN played <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jake-tapper-berates-lara-trump-abruptly-cuts-off-interview-mentions-bidens-cognitive-decline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a starring role<\/a> in downplaying Biden&rsquo;s cognitive issues, only jumping ship when the truth became just a tad too inconvenient for them.<\/p>\n<p>As Fox News aptly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/jake-tappers-past-coverage-bidens-cognitive-decline-under-scrutiny-ahead-new-book\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">summarized<\/a>, Tapper&rsquo;s coverage of Biden&rsquo;s decline was spotty &mdash; at best. While he occasionally pressed the issue, he more often ran interference for Democrats, especially in the lead-up to the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>Take June 2024, weeks before Biden&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-mcconnell-isnt-expecting-the-gop-to-retake-the-senate\/\" title=\"Why McConnell Isn\u2019t Expecting the GOP to Retake the Senate\">disastrous debate performance<\/a> against Trump. The Wall Street Journal published a bombshell report on Biden showing &ldquo;signs of slipping,&rdquo; which Democrats and liberal media fiercely contested.<\/p>\n<p>Tapper&rsquo;s response? He focused on the White House&rsquo;s aggressive pushback, repeatedly telling viewers the report was &ldquo;mostly based on observations of Republicans.&rdquo; He even platformed Sen. Chris Coons, a Biden surrogate, to discredit the reporting as agenda-driven.<\/p>\n<p>This wasn&rsquo;t a one-off. Tapper and CNN consistently dismissed concerns about Biden&rsquo;s mental state, often echoing the White House&rsquo;s &ldquo;cheap fake&rdquo; narrative to explain away viral videos of Biden&rsquo;s stumbles.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative content creator Western Lensman laid out how Tapper was seemingly trying to grab praise for his sudden, harsher rhetoric on the failed Biden administration: &ldquo;Today, CNN&rsquo;s Jake Tapper lambasted the Biden White House for falsely labeling videos showing Biden&rsquo;s cognitive issues &lsquo;cheap fakes.&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Following Jake&rsquo;s clip are a few examples of Jake&rsquo;s own network actively perpetuating the &lsquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/media-finally-admit-biden-poses-grave-danger-to-country\/\" title=\"Media Finally Admit Biden Poses Grave Danger To Country\">cheap fake&#038;rsquo<\/a>; hoax, dismissing concerns about Biden&rsquo;s cognitive state and running active cover for the Biden campaign.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >post includes damning clips<\/a> of CNN hosts &mdash; Dana Bash, Oliver Darcy, and Brian Stelter &mdash; downplaying Biden&rsquo;s issues on air:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Today, CNN&rsquo;s Jake Tapper lambasted the Biden White House for falsely labeling videos showing Biden&rsquo;s cognitive issues &ldquo;cheap fakes.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Following Jake&rsquo;s clip are a few examples of Jake&rsquo;s own network actively perpetuating the &ldquo;cheap fake&rdquo; hoax, dismissing concerns about Biden&rsquo;s&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/NoiofXLiWK\">pic.twitter.com\/NoiofXLiWK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WesternLensman\/status\/1922665321904975980?\">May 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re somehow supposed to forget all of this,&rdquo; the viral X account noted.<\/p>\n<p>This is the same network Tapper has anchored for years.

They prioritized narrative over truth, shielding Biden until his debate collapse made it untenable.<\/p>\n<p>Tapper&rsquo;s sudden turn as a truth-teller reeks of opportunism. He&rsquo;s trying to rewrite history, positioning himself as a whistleblower while ignoring his role in the cover-up.<\/p>\n<p>The American public isn&rsquo;t stupid. They see through this revisionism, which is why trust in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/poll-three-fourths-say-mainstream-media-advancing-their-own-opinions-or-political-agendas\/\" title=\"Poll: Three-Fourths Say Mainstream Media &#039;Advancing Their Own Opinions or Political Agendas\u2019\">establishment media continues<\/a> to plummet.<\/p>\n<p>Tapper can&rsquo;t have it both ways. If he wants praise for exposing Biden&rsquo;s decline, he must own his part in hiding it for years. Anything less is journalistic cowardice.<\/p>\n<p>So, yes, read Tapper&rsquo;s book for the juicy details. But don&rsquo;t forget: He&rsquo;s as much a part of the problem as the Biden aides he now condemns.<\/p>\n<p>The stain of complicity doesn&rsquo;t wash off with a tell-all.

This is undoubtedly a positive development since transparency is crucial. However, we shouldn&#8217;t rush to label Tapper as a hero just yet. The CNN anchor has been enjoying the spotlight from early excerpts of the book, including one where George Clooney expresses surprise at Biden not recognizing him during a 2024 fundraiser-a revealing moment that highlights Biden&#8217;s vulnerabilities. Another excerpt discusses Biden&#8217;s inner circle contemplating a &#8220;politically untenable&#8221; strategy to support his re-election bid despite his evident decline.<\/p>\n<p>While Tapper&#8217;s book paints a critical picture of a White House in denial about Biden&#8217;s condition, it is important to note that he was part of that cover-up for years. He and CNN played significant roles in downplaying concerns about Biden&#8217;s cognitive issues until they became too glaringly obvious to ignore. As Fox News pointed out, Tapper&#8217;s coverage of these issues was inconsistent; he occasionally raised questions but often defended Democrats leading up to the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in June 2024-just weeks before Biden&#8217;s poor debate performance against Trump-the Wall Street Journal reported on signs of Biden &#8220;slipping,&#8221; which faced strong pushback from Democrats and liberal media outlets. In response, Tapper emphasized the White House&#8217;s rebuttals and suggested that the report relied heavily on Republican observations while giving airtime to Senator Chris Coons who sought to undermine its credibility.<\/p>\n<p>This pattern continued as Tapper and CNN frequently dismissed worries regarding Biden&#8217;s mental state by echoing narratives from the White House aimed at discrediting viral videos showcasing his gaffes as &#8220;cheap fakes.&#8221; Conservative commentator Western Lensman highlighted how Tapper criticized this narrative while simultaneously showcasing clips from his own network perpetuating it.<\/p>\n<p>The public isn&#8217;t oblivious; they recognize this inconsistency in narrative management by both Tapper and CNN over time. While his new book may shed light on internal discussions within Biden&#8217;s team regarding their strategies amid growing concerns about his capabilities, it conveniently overlooks media complicity-including his own role-in shielding these realities until they became undeniable.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, while readers may find valuable insights in Tapper&#8217;s book regarding Joe Biden&#8217;s challenges and political maneuvers surrounding them, it&#8217;s essential not to overlook how deeply intertwined he has been with those very efforts he now critiques. The media establishment owes an apology rather than celebrating newfound revelations as if they were always forthcoming truths<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2434826,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Jake-Tapper.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[55267,32444,33295],"class_list":["post-2434825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-biden-cover-up","tag-jake-tapper","tag-media-criticism"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Jake-Tapper.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2434825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2434825"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2434825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2434829,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2434825\/revisions\/2434829"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2434826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2434825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2434825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2434825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
