How Tapper and Thompson got Biden wrong by ignoring what was in plain sight

A lot of joy and ribs are directed CNN -OV JAKE TAPPER In recent days, during his co -authored book, a blockbuster book about how awful his colleagues are at their business.

But last week, during one of his 27 million TV appearances toward Hawk, “Original Sin”, a book about Biden’s administration lies that he rushed with Axios’s Alex Thompson as soon as the 2024 elections were over, Tapper said something that was so close to realizing his theme and his job that he was almost injured.

Appearing on CBS News, Tapper said, “So there They were People reporting what they saw. Conservative media were, according to their merit, all this. Now they did not have insider information, but they just made a sense of all the clips, and all the strange moments and extraordinary moments. “

What Tapper here misses is that conservative media did not correctly understand the obvious and inconvenience of Joe Biden for Office despite that they do not have insider information, they realized it correctly because They did not rely on insiders information.

In Tapper’s distorted view of journalism, and one is widely divided, the evidence we see with our own eyes is not enough. Instead, this is not news until some whistleblower pours beans, which puts all its strength into the hands of the source.

From the 1970s Watergate scandal, everything must be Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in style. The story is not real without a coat in the administration, although they also have an agenda.

It is obvious that the big problem is that all the sources of Tapper and Thompson have spent years deceiving them by the American people, but now, suddenly, we expect to believe in everything these same serial liars say.

Sorry. It doesn’t happen.

Let’s take a tempting story spinding Tapper and Thompson now that it was actually the first son Hunter Biden who led the show. It is delicious, perhaps the executive director of Burris, who is awarded by a crack, is a truly smartest man who has ever met. The artist behind the curtain.

However, and call me a cynic if you will, this special version of the event is just by accident that paints Tapper and Thompson’s insider sources in the best light.

Basically, what these insiders say is, “Man, we really tried to do the right thing, but that hunter, he just blocked us in every chance, which is too bad because he forgives for anything he has done with the highway now, but what can you do?”

And once again, Tapper and Thompson only eagerly write down everything as if they were standing at the top of Mt. Sinai, dictating the Ten Commandments from God.

The bottom line is that even if you are a generous soul prone to believing Tapper and Thompson, only a fool would trust their insider sources. Honestly, what is the point of even reading a book?

This is saying a lot deeper Problem with journalism which tends to frame all political coverage as a power that is lying and fearless reporters come up with real truth when it almost never happens.

Instead, these journalists confuse the source with the approach, so all their “sources” are people who are progressing in their agenda. Now it is suddenly the agenda to accumulate on the bidet and save our reputation (for media and insiders).

George Orwell said, “Journalism prints what someone else does not want to print: everything else is public relations.”

Tapper and Thompson both worked for a long PR for Democrats.

The source, especially an anonymous source, is almost by definition just a press to a journalist something they want a journalist to print. Sometimes it can be useful, but it’s never the whole story.

The hilarious final turnaround in all this is that in Donald Trump, we have a president who asks more questions than the average corporate call center and possesses everything that accuses me of migrants in his resort sent a migrant to El Salvadoranski prison to hold the crypto ball. It’s all just outdoors.

The Gotcha Journalism Age of Post-Watergate rejected the cliff industry. No one believes what journalists say because they are only the mouth for those who are in power.

The primary job of a journalist is not the extract of some hidden data kept from people; Are not detectives. It is precisely reporting and analyzing what we know is happening.

In this regard, the coverage of Joe Biden’s fall, his clear inability to serve, is probably the worst journalism that has ever tried. Tapper and Thompson couldn’t see what was in front of their faces because they were convinced that there had to be a little deeper, something hidden.

It’s time to turn the page and return to a journalism that deals with reality, not guessing. Until that happens, Americans have no reason to believe anything that Jake Tappers and Alex Thompsons from the world say.
