Overview

• Jon Stewart criticized CNN for heavily promoting Jake Tapper’s book, 'Original Sin,' which documents President Biden’s cognitive decline and alleged cover-up.
• Stewart argued that CNN withheld important findings about Biden’s health to package them as a commercial product rather than reporting them in real time.
• The timing of the book’s release coincides with Biden’s recent aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis, complicating CNN’s promotional efforts.
• CNN anchors, including Brian Stelter, defended the book’s relevance, claiming the reporting is even more significant following Biden’s health news.
• Stewart dismissed claims of a cover-up, noting that public polls and a primary challenge by Dean Phillips had already brought Biden’s fitness into question.
