CNN Is Selling Books While Democracy Burns

Just days after President Joe Biden was diagnosed with aggressive cancer, CNN went back to doing what corporate media does best: selling stories instead of telling the truth.

Not covering the brutal Medicaid and SNAP cuts threatening millions. Not reporting on ICE’s possible illegal deportations to war zones like South Sudan. Not pressing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—who astonishingly seems unaware of what Habeas Corpus even is.

No. CNN’s priority was giving airtime to a book written by Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson about Biden’s alleged mental decline. Yes, this is what they chose to spotlight—while democracy, policy, and people are burning.

Before we go any further: I will never sell out like Jake Tapper. If you value independent reporting that doesn’t play nice with power, I invite you to subscribe and support this platform. No sponsors. No filters. Just facts, accountability, and truth—every damn day. We don’t have the marketing budget of CNN, but we have you. And that’s more powerful.

Now let’s be clear:

This isn’t journalism. It’s propaganda.

If Jake Tapper had credible evidence about Biden’s mental state during the campaign, then he had a duty—not a choice, a duty—to report it to the public at the time. Not shelve it for a hardcover launch. Not sit on it until it could be monetized.

What we’re watching is the hollowing-out of journalism in real time. The nation faces a possible humanitarian breach by ICE, a government official who doesn’t understand basic constitutional law, and a social safety net under assault—but CNN is selling books.

This isn't a failure of priorities. It’s a deliberate decision.

It shows us who corporate media really works for. And spoiler: it’s not you.

Let’s stop pretending these people are journalists. This is about profit, ego, and influence. Tapper and Thompson didn’t break a story—they brokered one. On their own terms. On their own timeline. For their own benefit.

And now, Biden—who is not even governing while undergoing treatment for a serious illness—is being turned into a talking point, a product, a brand asset. It’s grotesque.

Someone today told me I’m like “the left’s Joe Rogan.” I get the compliment. But here’s the truth: we don’t need another Joe Rogan. We need another Walter Cronkite. We need journalism that informs, that exposes, that protects. Journalism that serves people—not publishers.

Jake Tapper, Alex Thompson, CNN—your moment came. And you failed. You didn’t report. You cashed in.

I won’t.

This platform exists to shine a light where others refuse. If you're tired of being manipulated by networks more interested in Nielsen ratings than the public good, then this is your place.
