Jon Stewart Knocks CNN for Tapper Book
- Jon Stewart criticized CNN on May 19, 2025, for heavily promoting Jake Tapper's book about Joe Biden's health.
- This criticism followed the May 16 diagnosis of former President Biden, age 82, with aggressive prostate cancer that spread to his bones.
- Stewart mocked CNN's marketing of the book 'Original Sin', which recounts Biden's cognitive decline and a White House cover-up during his presidency.
- CNN anchor Brian Stelter said the cancer diagnosis timing was dramatic ahead of the book release, which is based on over 200 interviews.
- Stewart's remarks suggest concern about media ethics and imply that the revelation about Biden's health should have been disclosed earlier rather than sold as breaking news.
