In a recent display of audacity, CNN's Jake Tapper has been making headlines.
Tapper has been promoting his new book, "Original Sin: President Bidens Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again," co-authored with Alex Thompson. The book and the promotional tour have sparked controversy, with many speculating that Tapper's sudden interest in former President Joe Biden's cognitive decline is driven by ulterior motives.
According to Western Journal, Tapper revealed his motives during an interview on social media platform X. "This applies to Donald Trump, too," Tapper stated, referring to the lack of transparency surrounding the former presidents health.
This statement has led many to believe that Tapper, who was previously accused of participating in the cover-up of Bidens decline, is now attempting to shift the narrative towards President Trump.
Tapper's focus on Trump's health has raised eyebrows, especially given the former President's well-known work ethic. "Donald Trump has released, like, nothing about his health," Tapper said. "And while there arent the questions of acuity, there are certainly questions about his health. This statement has been met with skepticism, as many outside the establishment media recognize Trump's tireless work ethic and question Tapper's motives for bringing up Trump's health.
In an attempt to maintain an appearance of impartiality, Tapper framed the issue as a constitutional concern. We cant have this as a country, he said. We have such a powerful executive branch, and at this stage, such an un-co-equal legislative branch, and such weak political parties, [that] were really racing towards a very dangerous situation.
Tapper's comments have been met with criticism, with many pointing out that the other two branches of government, particularly the judicial branch, have not hesitated to interfere with the executive branch's operations when necessary. Critics argue that Tapper's portrayal of Trump as wielding unchecked power and receiving undue deference from the courts is misleading.
However, the controversy surrounding Tapper's comments extends beyond the CNN journalist himself. The establishment media has been accused of scrutinizing the very scandal it allegedly helped to create. One user on platform X sarcastically wrote, We outed Bidens mental state after he served. See how honest we are? This qualifies us to go after Trump while he is serving.
In essence, Tapper's "investigation" into the Biden cover-up has been likened to a mockery of justice, similar to Anthony Fauci leading the COVID response. Critics argue that both Tapper and Fauci have demonstrated a clear motive to undermine Trump.
This controversy serves as a reminder of the importance of journalistic integrity and the need for transparency in media. As the debate continues, it is clear that the actions of figures like Tapper will continue to be scrutinized by those who value truth and accountability in journalism.
