by Alex Berenson, Unreported Truths:
The last two days have shown yet again that from Jake Tapper to the New York Times, journalism’s biggest names simply will not tell the truth.
They can’t help themselves.
Two days ago, CNN’s Jake Tapper faced massive backlash after announcing he is writing a book on Joe Biden’s mental decline — and blaming a “cover-up” for Biden’s “disastrous decision to run again.”
Tapper fully deserved the blowback. As the slogan on those 1980s hair club ads went, Tapper wasn’t just the president, he was also a client. Commentors on X quickly posted clips of him defending Biden’s brilliance and harshly criticizing anyone who suggested Uncle Joe might be a couple Rolling Rocks short of a sixpack.

If there’s one person who shouldn’t write this book, it’s Jake Tapper.
Yet. If there’s one person who should write this book, it’s also Jake Tapper. After all, his dishonesty and hypocrisy exactly encapsulate modern journalism.

For decades, Tapper has served a walking, talking Democratic PowerPoint presentation, the embodiment of smug midwit liberal Washington reporting.
During Covid, his bootlicking interviews with Dr. Anthony S. Fauci were a master class in how not to hold power to account.
In late June 2021, just as the mRNA Covid jabs began to fail, he and Fauci started what would be a years-long campaign of blaming people who hadn’t gotten them for the fact they didn’t work.

Tapper’s smug mock-seriousness became almost unbearable to me in 2021. I once compared him to “a dog watching a chess match,” one of my all-time favorite quotes:

So should anyone be surprised that Tapper is trying to rewrite history and blame the Biden White House for the job he and his Washington colleagues failed to do?
Biden barely campaigned in 2020 and was obviously failing even by 2021, as the videos of him wandering across stages and shaking hands with thin air piled up.
Had the Republicans not stumbled in the 2022 midterms, Biden would probably have had to announce in early 2023 he was not running for reelection. Instead, he and the Democrats held on to just enough support that they and their media acolytes believed they could drag him over the line one more time — never mind that he would be 86 by 2029. They essentially ended his unscripted public appearances, even in small groups, and sharply curtailed his schedule. Even some Cabinet members barely saw him.
