U.S. — In a shocking exposé, CNN anchor Jake Tapper has revealed new evidence that Biden’s mental and physical decline was covered up for years by Jake Tapper.

“These allegations regarding Jake Tapper are disturbing,” said Jake Tapper. “The idea that someone would use their power as a journalist to lie and withhold essential information from the American public is beyond the pale. This Jake Tapper guy, whoever he is, should be ashamed of himself.”

The bombshell report was detailed in a new book by Jake Tapper. It chronicles years of egregious cover-ups and collusion between the White House and a cooperative and corrupt press, including several newly leaked conversations between aides about putting Biden in a wheelchair for his second term. At the center of the scandal, it appears, is someone named Jake Tapper.

“I can’t believe the media would lie to us like this,” said one internet commenter. “It sounds like Jake Tapper needs to be held accountable.”

For those out of the loop, Democrat grifters such as Jake Tapper and Dana Bash actively smeared anyone covering Bidens decline.

Now they are trying to rewrite history by acting outraged that people covered up Bidens mental decline.

Blue no matter who folks were following Tapper’s lead and accusing folks criticizing Biden of being Russian bots or something… here on Lemmy.

The fake outrage of the media concerning Biden’s mental decline that they just discovered is extreme gaslighting it’s fucking ridiculous.

They were reporting that behind the scenes Biden was energetic and engaged while in public he seemed to have dementia.

Democrats and the DNC along with the corporate media handed the election to Trump, and now they are pretending to be shocked and outraged that the candidate who obviously had dementia actually had dementia, and they are pretending like they were not the ones actively attacking folks who could see the writing on the wall years before the election.

Their feigned outrage would be laughable, but it’s really sad. They can not be forgiven for this.

What is The Babylon Bee?

The Babylon Bee is the world’s best satire site, totally inerrant in all its truth claims. We write satire about Christian stuff, political stuff, and everyday life.

The Babylon Bee was created ex nihilo on the eighth day of the creation week, exactly 6,000 years ago. We have been the premier news source through every major world event, from the Tower of Babel and the Exodus to the Reformation and the War of 1812. We focus on just the facts, leaving spin and bias to other news sites like CNN and Fox News.

Yeah its right wing onion. Occasionally they have ws but usually if someone irl references them it's a signal they've got some pretty bigoted opinions

Republican media: "The sky is blue."

Average lemmy user: "The sky isn't blue. The right wing Republicans said it, so it can't be true."

Seriously, this is not healthy.

I gave them credit for being occasionally correct. Just because I think they're often off base and that a lot of their fans are some real pieces of shit doesn't mean I reject everything they say because of who said it. But go off I suppose.
