CNN Jake Tapper’s Anchor has aimed at treating media for those who sounded the alarm for the cognitive decline of former President Joe Biden before being completely exposed to the now famous presidential debate, despite the fact that his network was guilty of lobbying such attacks.
While Biden was actively seeking re -election, there were two explosive moments that attracted the attention of his mental sharpness before the debate.
The first was in February 2024 with the issuance of the HUR report, which stipulated that the Department of Justice would not seek criminal charges of abusing the then president’s classified information, in part because a jury would consider it “a charming, good man with poor memory.”
The report also revealed that Biden could not remember the main dates, such as when he was in office and when his son Beau died.
The second was in June 2024, a few weeks before the debate, when the Wall Street Journal published a bomb report, “After closed doors, Biden shows signs of slipping,” a month investigation by reporters Annie Linskey and Sobhan Hughes involving more than 45 sources that were or directly involved in meetings with Biden meetings. They said that below, who are good, who are good and the bad and the bad, who were or directly involved. ”
At Podcast “honestly” by Bari Weiss on Thursday, Tapper spoke about how Biden House White went to “war” with special adviser Robert Hur, whom he described in Weiss as a “serious civil servant” and how the media members participated.
“Many people in the media are very aware and part of the stained car against Robert Hur,” Tapper Weiss told. “Robert Hur has been dyed and can’t get a job for months. And he was – honestly, if you look back on what he said, that was polite!”
He also praised the “brilliant reporters” Linksy and Hughes, mentioning that they were also wildly attacked.
“[They] They are Garroted by the Democratic Party and by journalists and media critics, and by journalism professors and all this industry of people who claim to be non-partisan evaluators of truth … that should be traumatizing for them, “Tapper said.
What Tapper failed to mention was that CNN was among those “associates” in Team Biden’s attacks on Hur and Wall Street Journal.
Im Acosta, who at the time was CNN’s TAPPER colleague, asked aloud if the rating was “outside the borders”, while CNN commentator and former White House communication director Kate Bedingfield accused Huri of “editorialization”, and his political report was involved, and CNN’s political analyst asked why “.
One of CNN’s legal experts, Jeffrey Toobin, reprimanded Hur for making the “unnecessary points” about Biden’s advanced age, characterizing the special adviser as a “Republican Partisan” who “destroyed” the president despite the fact that he did not bring charges.
“Part of this report was a anger. It was a shame,” Toobin said at the time. “I mean, the idea that those who would make such a large point in bidding being old is not something the prosecutor had to do.”
Pundit Liberal of CNN Paul Begala similarly attacked the “Partisan Partisan” to “Editorialization of the Road from his League”, even suggesting that Hur was motivated to seek revenge on Biden for Voting against William Rehnquist, for whom he had given, during his 1986 Supreme Court confirmation.
“This guy has donated to the Republicans. He is a partisan,” Begala said. “The only work he had was to sue or not to sue, and to add all this – the only thing he did not add was the legal denial that this is a political advertising in support of Donald Trump. It was a total free blow.”
CNN’s then political analyst, Gloria Borger, immediately took the side of Biden, insisting, “this is not a man who will forget the day his son died” and echoed the counterfeiting of Biden Hur was the one who brought Beau death in the interview when, in fact, it was the president.
Perhaps Biden’s biggest defender at CNN at the time was his media reporter, Oliver Darcy (who has since left the network), who announced the Hur description of Biden’s mental state “did not match reality”.
“Gratitude by some, but not all, the media on Tuesday about the true nature of Biden’s deposit marked another embarrassing moment for the national press, which has flown in the main moments until its sharp elections of 2024,” Darcy wrote in March 2024. him. “
“Hur chose to portray the president as a diminished mental old man who tried to remember the basic information during his deposit, raising the alarm bells if he had the fitness to serve the country’s highest office. Biden’s characterization of Biden played directly in a stupid police campaign. right to describe the president as a senil, as a man, tall, “he continued. “, He went on.
Following the Wall Street Journal report, some CNN anchors pointed out that the newspaper’s history relied heavily on Republican criticism of Biden and called former householder Kevin McCarthy, who made the only statement in the record, to present the rolling in Biden’s graft in previous comments (Magazine Reporters. McCarthy with Bid with Bolster Comments (The Journal Reporters explained it as a tactical action, for the time McCarthery with Bolter Bolter with Bolin Bolin with bol bol bol with bol bol with bol bol me bol me bol me bol me bol me bol with Bol with bol bol with bol bol with bol and commentary with biden white house).
Boris Sanchez of CNN grilled Hughes on democratic accusations that its story was “steep”, a question that would be impassable to a journalist covered by Donald Trump.
Darcy broke out in the Wall Street Journal, insisting that her reporting “suffers from bright problems”, lecturing the letter “owes to her readers – and the public – Better. ”
“It is difficult to imagine that the newspaper, or any plug, would develop a similar story by stating that Trump is” sliding “behind scenes based on the word of high democratic figures – despite the fact that democratic leadership has demonstrated a much stronger relationship with the truth in recent years than their Republican counterparts,” Darcy wrote.
“More broadly, the newspaper part showed an ongoing problem by the news media as it covers the 2024 elections. Trump is allowed to fall asleep in court and make nonsense public statements on a routine basis without any serious questions raised about his mental sharpness,” continued the former CCN. “Meanwhile, Biden is judged to a completely different standard.”
A CNN spokesman refused to comment.
