Tapper and Thompson Continue Dangerous Cover-Up
David Catron
Now that Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson have published Original Sin, which confirms what most Americans already knew — that former President Joe Biden was cognitively unfit to carry out the duties of his office — the corporate media are attempting to deflect attention from their complicity in a dangerous cover up. The “original sin,” according to Tapper and Thompson, was Biden’s decision to run for reelection in 2024 and the dishonesty of his aides. A far more egregious sin, however, was the cover-up of Biden’s decline by countless journalists who refused to report the truth.
These journalists and politicians, for all intents and purposes, belong to an exclusive club whose members have never met an actual MAGA voter.
This dereliction of duty presented a far greater danger to the republic than Biden’s decision to run or the lies of his aides. Thomas Jefferson once observed, “The functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty & property of their constituents. There is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information.” The fundamental purpose of a free press is to provide that information by reporting what government officials are doing and why. Thus, as Marc Thiessen points out in the Washington Post, the corporate media cover-up was the real original sin.
