“Original Sin” book release - Biden’s decline cover up

[B-Man]

 

 

JOE CONCHA: Jake Tapper’s ‘bombshell’ book on Biden’s decline is a laughable attempt to rewrite history.

 

Thompson’s claim that every White House “is capable of deception” again makes the hilarious case that reporters believed what the Biden team was telling them without raising any questions.

 

Remember, this was the same White House that insisted inflation was transitory or was part of the mythical “Putin price hike.”

 

This is the same team that claimed the border was secure.

 

It’s the same team that actually accused Republicans of wanting to defund the police.

 

And the same team that said Hunter Biden’s laptop was a product of Russia and COVID-19 didn’t come from a lab that literally studies coronaviruses.

 

Not exactly a track record of honesty.

 

Tapper and Thompson’s Original Sin is on track to be a bestseller when it hits bookstores next week. The authors will profit nicely from it.

 

But in terms of something that can’t be bought, a thing called integrity, both men can kiss that goodbye.

 

Just like most of the rest of legacy media that took part in the worst “cover-up” in modern American history.

“No”

Biden was a disaster towards the end.  No argument.  Instead we got this. 
 

On Friday, President Donald Trumpposted the following statement about pop star Taylor Swift on Truth Social: “Has anyone noticed that, since I said “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT,” she’s no longer “HOT?””

Your assumptions about my views are as lazy as they are wrong. I’ve consistently supported law enforcement making difficult, split-second decisions, including the officer who shot Ashli Babbitt. That support isn’t based on politics; it’s based on understanding the reality officers face - chaos, uncertainty, and the constant risk to their own lives.

 

You, on the other hand, seem more interested in spinning narratives than dealing with facts.

 

Your attempt to link this to civil cases like E. Jean Carroll’s is a weak distraction. Civil cases are decided on a preponderance of evidence, not the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard of criminal cases. Venue, emotion, and other factors are always part of the equation - this isn’t some groundbreaking insight you’ve uncovered. But trying to use that to undermine a justified use of force is a transparent, bad-faith tactic.

 

You also bring up the officer’s past - as if leaving a gun in a bathroom somehow changes the fact that he was confronted by a violent mob trying to breach a restricted area. It doesn’t. It’s a desperate attempt to discredit him because you can’t argue against the facts of the situation itself.

 

Was this before or after you wanted to defund the police?

For me it's hardly an even fight betwen left vs. right media but instead a case of Fox vs. the entire cast of liberal legacy media outlets. Like 1 vs. 20 or so.

I get that, and I feel it's unfortunate you've come to look at it that way.  It's certainly easy to do.  For me, any news source takes certain facts about a story and ignores others to try and shape their biased version of the truth.  The good ones on either side include the most facts and hopefully spin a less biased story.  I definitely have to hunt more for decent right biased stories but overall I consider Fox News a go to right biased source.  

But even good sources can have highly biased stories, it's easy to tell by the amount of infammatory words and wording.

Do you have some that you consider good that meet this standard?

The main difference is with Biden it actually happened. With Trump you're claiming it would happen.

 

The mainstream media en masse blatantly ignored the obvious and severe cognitive decline of the friggin POTUS, lapping up the blatant lies from the WH and asking their viewers/readers to ignore the evidence of their eyes and ears.

 

If Trump started to repeatedly attempt to shake hands with imaginary people, forget close aides names, get lost walking off stage, mumble incoherently etc. Fox News very well might provide slanted coverage like they always do, but they wouldn't ignore it as if it wasn't happening at all, or accuse democrats who bring it up as being purveyors of cheap fakes.

 

This scandal is so far beyond the both sides are biased argument.

That's true it hasn't happened to a significant effect with Trump yet.  And the MSM didn't completely ignore Biden, they would make excuses for it, and I expect right wing sources to follow a similar playbook as Trump progresses down this road.  Why do I say that?  Easiest examples are their irresponsibility magnifying 2020 "steal" garbage Trump used to line his pockets, as well as J6 short term.

 

But I find it highly ironic and somewhat disingenuous you try and limit "right wing" to Fox News, one of the best sources.  How often do you actually post their content compared to all the X and more questionable right wing sources?  I can't get too involved with this board because eventually the willful ignorance bothers me too much, but you seem to post quite prolifically and the times I do check it out seems like your source is seldom never Fox News.  What percent of your sources on here would you say come from Fox News?

Honestly, a lot of it comes down to inflammatory language and factual content that hopefully elucidates counterpoints to the main story.  So, I'll usually browse MSN (not MSNBC!) and yahoo news which pull content from all over.  Fox News, Newsweek, NY post, Wash examiner, Post, WSJ, BBC, some of the links here which seldom pan out less than extreme, but still I look at more facts behind the argument and how inflammatory the sentences are.

 

I'll check out CNN infrequently but they are way biased most of the time.  Fox News is always interesting to me because they can offer inflammatory opinions and are seldom shy about it but they can put a lot of facts to their stories.  Extreme left and right sources for a laugh and to check their fact content.

 

Really I should utilize one of these pay news apps that tries to limit bias but I'm too old and cheap.  I do consider it more seriously now though.  It's disappointing so few sources report all the facts and I don't mind overt opinions or bias as per Fox News but try and acknowledge other realities for the people or situation involved.

Thank you. It would be nice to have one stop shopping for fact-based news. Wish such a place existed. As it is, yours is the way. Have to look at the entire spectrum and assess what we see and hear.

Between the reliable mainstream media being exposed further (shocking) and Joe’s state now undeniable even to the delusional, this has been a rough week for Frankish. Sending all my best.

Right off the bat. It hasn't happened to a significant effect yet.

 

Implying that there's actual evidence of any mental decline with Trump.

 

He's the same brash narcissist he's always been. 

 

The guy gives off the cuff press conferences with a hostile media on a near daily basis.

 

Please with this nonsense.

Again 😂

 

When they did mention it, which was rarely, it was to tell you that the right was lying to you about his decline. Cheap fakes. Don't believe your lying eyes.

 

Going to the most secure election in US history as well...lol

Fox News and more recently Newsmax are the primary right leaning TV news outlets.

 

So?

10% maybe.

 

Again Im not denying that all news sources have bias, and that your stated effort to try to cull news from varying sources in attempt to cut through the BS is what I've often said in this very cesspool of a forum.

 

But again, you're talking about slanted coverage.

 

I'm talking about blatant lying propaganda.

 

Did you need any news outlet to tell you that Biden's brain is pudding or could you arrive at that conclusion via your own powers of observation?

 

Did you need the media to tell you covid came from the Wuhan market case closed or did it perhaps warrant an investigation that it might have come from a lab instead of censoring  and canceling those who knew the lab leak was plausible?

 

These are two of the biggest stories of the past century and you were blatantly lied to and propagandized by the democrat party and legacy media on both of them.

 

You should be pissed off. 

 

But sure, Fox News.
