Jon Stewart knocks CNN for Tapper book
Comedian Jon Stewart knocked CNN anchor Jake Tapper and his network for promoting a new book focusing on former President Biden's mental decline, much of which contains reporting from during Biden's presidency. 'You've prepared an entire smorgasbord …. based on what you thought would be a relatively uncomplicated story about mental decline. News has the countdown clock, they got the book graphics, they got the 'CNN Happy Meal' tie-in toys, but now doing the story seems almost disrespectful,' Stewart said on Monday's edition of 'The Daily Show,' referring to Biden's recent cancer diagnosis. 'Can CNN thread the needle? How do you pivot from excitedly promoting your anchor's book to somberly and respectfully promoting your anchor's book?' The comedian's comments were first highlighted by Mediaite. Tapper and journalist Alex Thompson report as part of their new book, 'Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,' that aides around the former president were kept in the dark about the severity of Biden's mental decline and discussed the possibility of him using a wheelchair should he win a second term. Tapper and Thompson have faced some blowback for what critics say was the withholding of information about Biden's condition during the final few months of his presidency. President Trump and others have argued the book's revelation proves an effort by mainstream media outlets to turn a blind eye to the severity of Biden's condition during the 2024 presidential election. 'Forgetting about the fact how f‑‑‑ing weird it is that the news is selling you a book about news they should've told you was news a year ago for free,' Stewart said, '… it's just fun … to watch them not only continue to push the book in light of this difficult news, but to actually frame this difficult news as perhaps even more of a reason to buy this book.'

Joe Biden's Granddaughter, Naomi Biden, Slams New Jake Tapper Book
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Naomi Biden slammed the new Jake Tapper book about her grandfather, former President Joe Biden, in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday afternoon, calling the book "political fairy smut." A new book by the CNN anchor has ignited fierce criticism from liberals and media observers who accuse Tapper of profiting from a narrative he once helped downplay: Biden's mental and physical decline during his final year in office. The book, Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, co-authored with Axios journalist Alex Thompson, alleges that Biden's inner circle, including his family and top aides, orchestrated a comprehensive effort to obscure the president's deteriorating condition from the public, donors and even members of his own cabinet. Naomi Biden, 31, posted on Monday, "Just read a copy of this silly book, and if anyone is curious for a review from someone who lived it first-hand: this book is political fairy smut for the permanent, professional chattering class. The ones who rarely enter the arena, but profit from the spectacle of those that do. Put simply, it amounts to a bunch of unoriginal, uninspired lies written by irresponsible self promoting journalists out to make a quick buck. It relies on unnamed, anonymous sources pushing a self-serving false narrative that absolves them of any responsibility for our current national nightmare. All of this at the expense of a man so completely good and honest that it is impossible for these people to ever understand the why or how of it all. There are real stories to be told and one day they will be. I suspect history will reward the truth." This is developing news and will be updated as more information is available.
