CNN's Jake Tapper is now pretending he didn't know about Biden's obvious cognitive decline even though he was among the corporate media pundits attacking those who doubted Biden's mental fitness. Plus: does Trump's Saudi Arabia speech signal a new vision for U.S. foreign policy?

0:00.0 | Good evening. It's Tuesday, May 13th. Welcome to a new episode of System Update, our live nightly show that airs every single Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern. If it's Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, it means one thing. We are here doing the show. And it's exclusively here on Rumble, the free speech alternative to YouTube. Tonight, one of the worst traits of the American corporate media, and there are obviously |
0:37.9 | many of those on that list, is the way they consciously engage in deceitful propaganda campaigns |
0:43.7 | for blatantly partisan ends, only to pretend the whole thing never happened once the election is over |
0:49.8 | and they get caught. We've seen this over and over in the last several elections. |
0:54.8 | There's no more brazen example than the way they all pretended to be so shocked. |
1:00.2 | Oh, my God, we're so shocked when they saw the Trump-Biden presidential debate |
1:04.5 | and then noticed how melted Joe Biden's brain was. |
1:08.7 | Oh, my God, we never imagined, they said, even though most of the country knew by using their own eyes that for years Joe Biden was brain was. Oh my God, we never imagined, they said, even though most of the country |
1:11.8 | knew by using their own eyes that for years Joe Biden was in cognitive decline, they were the |
1:16.4 | only ones apparently who didn't know it. This week we are being treated to a master of the genre of |
1:22.2 | media fraud really should be hung in the Smithsonian because there is a new book out that is co-authored by two very different |
1:28.6 | journalists. One is Alex Thompson of Axios, who really was one of the very, very few reporters |
1:34.2 | in the corporate press who actually pursued this story and intrepidly reported on Biden's |
1:39.7 | cognitive decline, and then has every right to write a book about that. But his co-author, |
1:44.6 | whose name appears first on the book, is CNN's Jake Tapper, who, in stark contrast to Thompson, actually |
1:50.9 | actively and aggressively covered up Biden's decline. And not only that, but he led the way |
1:57.3 | in attacking the people who actually noticed. And all of this is illustrative of the broader media pretense that, as always, |
2:04.6 | they bear no blame whatsoever for the lies that they were told that they told because |
2:08.6 | they were simply misled and deceived in good faith by a White House whom they trusted. |
2:14.8 | This book will get substantial attention so it deserves ours, but not only for that reason, |
2:19.0 | but also because it's reflective of a much broader media pathology that has played a very |
2:24.0 | significant role in the justifiable destruction of their credibility. |
