Media Faces Scrutiny Over Biden Health Coverage

A media firestorm has followed the release of Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's book 'Original Sin,' which alleges efforts to conceal President Joe Biden's cognitive decline. In a contentious exchange, Megyn Kelly accused Tapper and mainstream journalists of enabling a cover-up by delaying coverage of Biden's health, while Tapper admitted regret and apologized to Lara Trump for dismissing her warnings. Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy defended White House reporters by citing instances where he questioned officials about Biden's condition. The debate has intensified after Biden was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer and as insider accounts surfaced, claiming staff shielded him from scrutiny. Adding to the controversy, Donald Trump recently argued that Biden was not responsible for key policies, attributing decisions to aides due to Biden's alleged impairment. The situation raises broader questions about media responsibility and presidential transparency.
