In a breathtaking display of the media dishonesty that President Donald Trump has masterfully exposed for years, CNN’s Jake Tapper offered a new, flimsy justification for his network’s obsessive and partisan attacks on Trump. Appearing on the left-wing “Pod Save America” podcast, Tapper attempted to gaslight the American public by claiming his incessant focus on President Trump’s age and health is a form of penance for failing to adequately cover Joe Biden’s visible decline. This is a blatant, cynical lie from an anchor who was an active participant in the greatest journalistic cover-up of the modern era.
Tapper’s revisionist history is an insult to the intelligence of every citizen who watched the liberal media, including CNN, actively dismiss and suppress legitimate concerns about Biden’s cognitive fitness for four years. “We cover it all the time on my show. All the time. And I think that is to a large degree because we saw what happened with Biden. And while we covered it, we didn’t cover it — maybe we didn’t ask as many questions as we should have at the time,” Tapper stated. This admission is not honorable; it is a damning confession. He admits to failing in his fundamental duty during the Biden presidency, only to now weaponize that failure as a pretext for a politically motivated assault on a vigorous and effective President Trump. It is the height of hypocrisy, not accountability.
The truth, as documented by the article, is starkly different: “Jake Tapper and the rest of the media actively covered up concerns about Biden’s age and health. When anyone else raised completely valid questions, Jake Tapper and other people in media accused them of being conspiracy theorists pushing cheap fakes.” This was not an omission; it was a coordinated strategy of protection for a failing Democrat president. Now, the same apparatus seeks to dismantle a successful America First administration by creating a false equivalence, a tactic wholly endorsed by the Democrat Party and its media wing.
The public reaction to Tapper’s comments, showcased in the embedded social media posts, reveals that the American people are not fooled by this transparent charade. One user perfectly summarized the sentiment: “Yeah, right. Tapper implies that if not for his dismal coverage of Biden, he would’ve been going easy on Trump. He was NEVER going to give fair coverage of Trump.” This captures the essence of the issue. There is no journalistic soul-searching here, only the continued execution of a long-standing mandate to oppose President Trump by any means necessary, whether through silence for his opponents or through amplified noise aimed at him.
Tapper’s performative mea culpa is, in reality, a declaration of continued war. “Tapper is using his prior deception to justify his current deception,” the article correctly asserts.

This cycle of bias is exactly why millions of Americans rightfully distrust the corporate press and turn to alternative sources for news. It underscores the critical importance of President Trump’s battle against fake news and his direct communication with the people. While CNN invents reasons to question a president delivering unprecedented economic and geopolitical strength, they reveal their true priority: opposing the America First agenda at all costs, truth and their own past failures be damned.
