Cashing in on facts Tapper knowingly obscured calls for serious professional consequences.
Henceforth a “Tapper” should denote any news delivered for the benefit of the reporter at the expense of the audience.
His book serves as an unintentional confession of how dishonest and utterly execrable he is. Any of his colleagues who refuse to condemn him are endorsing him.
Such bullchit. Grok:
Jake Tapper’s book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, co-authored with Alex Thompson, sold approximately 53,737 print copies in its first week, according to Circana BookScan data. This figure does not include e-book or audiobook sales. The book reached No. 3 on Amazon’s bestseller list and No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
…However, some call it a flop compared to books like Bob Woodward’s Fear, which sold 1.1 million copies in week one. The numbers don’t include e-books or audiobooks, so total sales are unclear. Despite heavy CNN promotion, the book’s polarizing take on Biden’s decline sparked mixed reactions, possibly limiting broader appeal. Sales data beyond May 2025 is unavailable, leaving the full picture uncertain.
