The journalist Mark Halperin is one of the few people working in media who was honest with the public about Biden’s condition, and was probably the first person to claim Biden was going to drop out of the 2024 race after his disastrous debate performance.
During a recent video report, he went after CNN and singled out ‘media reporter’ Brian Stelter for his dishonesty and hypocrisy in covering the scandal.
Stelter deserves this roasting and so does Jake Tapper, who is also mentioned. If you’re not a fan of CNN, you’re going to want to watch this.
RedState reports:
It was Stelter choosing to fangirl over the book rather than acknowledge the media’s politically-motivated, grotesque dereliction in coverage of concerns about Biden’s health that was just too much for independent journalist Mark Halperin to tolerate.
In commentary from his most recent podcast, Halperin went off, calling Stelter’s actions part of a pattern of “journalistic corruption” in the press:
And then you’ve got at CNN, this guy Brian Stelter, who’s their media reporter, who’s an ally of Jake Tapper, to protect Tapper’s image, to enhance Tapper’s image. He’s got a media newsletter. He’s supposed to cover the media. Guy doesn’t write about the biggest failure in the history of American media. Instead, he writes about how great Tapper’s book is.
And today in his newsletter – guy’s a fan of irony – he writes about how it was so important for Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson to have the truth in their book, the full truth, that they hired the head of The New Yorker’s fact-checking department to fact-check their book.
Okay, again, the job of a media reporter, I would think, is not to protect and promote his colleague. And this is no innocent here, Brian Stelter. In addition to promoting and protecting Jake Tapper, Brian Stelter has been, over the course of the entire Biden presidency, one of the biggest critics of those on the right and those few people like me in the independent media who have tried to hold Joe Biden accountable.
Here’s the video:

CNN, Jake Tapper, and Brian Stelter, among others, should never be allowed to live this down.
