Jon Stewart Criticizes CNN for Tapper Book on Biden

Jon Stewart, the former host of 'The Daily Show,' publicly criticized CNN on Monday for promoting Jake Tapper's book. The book allegedly focuses on President Joe Biden's mental acuity, especially in light of his recent cancer diagnosis. Stewart claimed that CNN's decision to promote the book was hypocritical, given the network's alleged prior reluctance to acknowledge concerns about Biden's health and cognitive abilities.

During his appearance, Stewart questioned the timing and motivations behind CNN's promotion, suggesting a potential bias or agenda. He argued that the network was now capitalizing on a narrative they previously avoided. The comedian's comments have ignited a conversation about the ethics and responsibilities of news organizations when reporting on the health of political leaders.

CNN has not yet issued an official response to Stewart's criticism. The controversy highlights the ongoing tensions between media outlets and political commentators regarding the portrayal of political figures and their health status.
