Original Sin

On MSNBC's The Weekend,  Original Sin co-author Alex Thompson says that the Democrat party was "sleepwalking" about Biden's decline until the disastrous debate made that impossible to ignore.  Co-host Jonathan Capehart failed to disclose that more than two weeks after the debate, he was still calling for Biden to stay in the race. On PBS, Capehart called Democrats calling on Biden to…

Status newsletter writer and former CNN media reporter Oliver Darcy showed Wednesday how hate rages through his veins and soul at conservatives and particularly at “right-wing media” because he argued this “irresponsible,” “dishonest machine” filled with “malicious” intent — which contain plenty of good and decent people — “do not deserve” credit for being out in front of legacy (liberal)…

In Tuesday’s episode of MK Media’s Next Up, 2WayApp founder and longtime political journalist Mark Halperin pressed friend and former colleague, MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Joe Scarborough, on the latter’s infamous March 6, 2024 comments declaring the then-current version of President Joe Biden was the “best Biden ever” and “f-you if you can’t handle the truth.” NewsBusters…

Speaking Tuesday night on NewsNation’s On Balance, Original Sin co-author and Axios reporter Alex Thompson told host Leland Vittert that, in his reporting for this bestselling book about the cognitive decline of President Joe Biden and its cover-up, one Biden administration source remarked to him they were shocked how compliant the press were of their lies about Biden’s…

In a Morning Joe segment with Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson about their book, Original Sin, on the cover-up of Biden's decline, Joe Scarborough finally admits, "I was obviously wrong" in claiming in March 2024 that this was the "best Biden ever," and "f-you if you can't handle the truth."

Tuesday’s CBS Mornings scored the first broadcast network interview for CNN host Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson as part of release day for their already bestselling book Original Sin about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline before and during his presidency. While there were attempts made to hold the legacy media to account, it never panned out and, even though some…

In February 2024, when Special Counsel Robert Hur published his report about then-President Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, the White House’s media lapdogs were utterly incensed by Hur’s characterization of Biden as an “elderly man with a poor memory.” Borrowing language directly from Democrats’ own talking points, corporate journalists maligned Hur for his “gratuitous”…

From attacking former Biden aides for talking to CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson for their new book on Biden’s decline to gross Catholic priest jokes to mocking President Trump’s recent Middle East trip as the very definition of corruption while having the wrong props on stage, the season finale of NBC’s Saturday Night Live had it all, and not in a good way.

In his Tuesday morning newsletter at Substack, conservative talk radio host and 2025 MRC Bulldog Award winner Erick Erickson tore Washington Post hack Matt Viser a new one over his years of (largely) covering for his dearly beloved President Joe Biden and painting him as fully lucid and in control despite public videos and now books proving otherwise.

Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart was not happy with CNN on Monday’s edition of The Daily Show as the network continued to promote Jake Tapper’s book about the cover-up of President Joe Biden’s mental decline amid his cancer diagnosis. The fact that the two could be related was not something Stewart even considered as a possibility.

MRC analysts looked at ABC, CBS and NBC’s evening and morning news programs, as well as PBS’s News Hour from May 13 through the morning of May 19 and found they spent a grand total of 7 minutes and 16 seconds on the reporting from Tapper and his co-author Alex Thompson. 

As news was breaking of former President Joe Biden’s advanced cancer diagnosis, there immediately emerged efforts to turn the diagnosis into a vehicle with which to suppress scrutiny of the former president based on the respective releases of the Hur tapes and the Tapper/Thompson book Original Sin. Chief among those doing so on CNN, Brian Stelter and former Obama guru David Axelrod.…

Many elected Democrats and media are beginning to wilt under scrutiny over the damning revelations published in Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s “Original Sin”. Many, as we heard from CBS’s Margaret Brennan, are just wanting to move on, or “look forward.”

On the latest installment of CNN State of the Union, an unrepentant Jake Tapper devoted a segment to promoting his upcoming Original Sin, co-written with Alex Thompson of Axios. The promotional segment makes clear, however, that Tapper appears unwilling to take personal responsibility for his own role, and that of the broader media, in perpetrating the biggest…
