Poll Finds Majority Blames Media For Covering Up Biden Health Issues

Recent revelations and discussions have spotlighted allegations of a media cover-up regarding former President Joe Biden's cognitive decline, sparking significant controversy. CNN anchor Jake Tapper, co-author of the book "Original Sin," has admitted to a cover-up of Biden's mental health issues, calling it possibly worse than Watergate, which has been met with criticism from figures like Lara Trump, who contends that the apology came too late to mitigate the damage. A national I&I/TIPP poll reveals that a majority of Americans believe the media concealed Biden's mental decline, with strong calls for holding media outlets accountable, particularly among Republicans and independents. Fox News amplified this narrative by questioning whether liberal media outlets should face consequences for their coverage failures and highlighted ongoing attacks on the media by Donald Trump, who is pursuing legal and funding actions against certain news organizations. The controversy reflects deep partisan divides and raises questions about journalistic integrity and the transparency of information related to political figures' health. These developments continue to fuel debates about media responsibility, political bias, and the impact of health disclosures on public trust and electoral politics.
