The explosive revelations in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s book exposed Biden’s cognitive freefall – but glaring gaps remain. While detailing how Biden’s inner circle hid his deterioration, the authors avoid confronting their own industry’s complicity in propping up a failing president. Their silence on reports of Biden receiving pre-approved questions from friendly media outlets speaks volumes.
This omission isn’t accidental. The same media machine that branded Biden’s visible decline as “cheap fakes” continues protecting its reputation. Tapper and Thompson’s refusal to address the coordinated softball treatment reveals their double standard – happy to expose White House lies but unwilling to admit their profession’s role in the deception.
The truth cuts deep. Major networks spent years shielding Biden from tough questions while attacking anyone raising concerns about his fitness. Their anchors became palace guards, not journalists. Now these reporters want credit for “exposing” a crisis they helped create – without admitting their own fingerprints on the cover-up.
Real accountability would require naming collaborators. Where’s the scrutiny of CNN producers who booked Biden for scripted town halls? The ABC staffers who prepped questions for First Lady Jill Biden to ask? This selective storytelling protects the media-industrial complex while scapegoating political advisors.
The American people weren’t fooled. They saw Biden stumble through speeches and forget basic details long before the debate disaster. But coastal elites dismissed these concerns as conspiracy theories. Now their belated “revelations” arrive too late – the damage to our democracy is done.
Tapper and Thompson’s book proves the media still won’t come clean. By ignoring their own industry’s malpractice, they continue the gaslighting. This isn’t journalism – it’s damage control for a left-wing narrative that collapsed under reality’s weight.
Hardworking Americans deserve answers. Why did media allies give Biden kid-glove treatment while savaging his critics? Who approved the question-rigging schemes? Until these uncomfortable truths surface, the Fourth Estate remains part of the problem – not the solution.
The final outrage? These reporters now profit from exposing a crisis they helped prolong. Their book sells because voters hunger for truth, but the authors still won’t fully deliver it. The great Biden cover-up continues – with different liars holding the pen.
