Jake Tapper Admits Media Covered Biden Cognitive Decline

Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson co-authored the book "Original Sin," which reveals former President Joe Biden's mental decline and the media's role in covering it up. Tapper admitted on Megyn Kelly's show that conservative media had been right about Biden's cognitive issues all along, and he apologized to Lara Trump for previously dismissing her concerns about Biden's mental acuity. Kelly criticized Tapper for the media's complicity in shielding Biden's condition from public scrutiny, highlighting how obvious signs like Biden's stumbles and confusion were ignored or denied by the White House and mainstream press. The book and discussions also touch on Hunter Biden's controversial role in the family, with Tapper calling him "unethical" and "sleazy," though no evidence of wrongdoing in his business dealings was presented. Tapper acknowledged a lack of adequate reporting on these matters during Biden's presidency and expressed humility about past coverage failures. The revelations have sparked calls for media introspection regarding their coverage of Biden's health and related family issues.
