“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough was forced to explain why, in March 2024, he told the world that, after talking with President Joe Biden for hours, “This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.”

Note: Scarborough had never watched the most infamous clip of himself—until now.

During a cringeworthy interview with political journalist Mark Halperin, the MSNBC host was confronted with the reality of his own propagandist reporting.

Watch:

Below is the viral clip in which Scarborough strongly defends Biden, declaring:
“F-you if you can’t handle the truth. This version of Biden, intellectually and analytically, is the best Biden ever.”

Watch:

“I’ve said it for years now, he’s cogent. But I undersold it when I said he was cogent, he’s far beyond cogent. In fact, I think he’s better than he’s ever been, intellectually, analytically, because he’s been around for 50 years,” Scarborough said.

“Start your tape right now because I’m about to tell you the truth. And f-you if you can’t handle the truth. This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.”

Three months later, “the best Biden” looked like this:

Watch:

During the interview, Scarborough insisted he had never seen Biden on a “bad day” personally.

Halperin pushed back: “Well, you did! You did, because you saw him address a dead congresswoman, and you saw him in South Carolina.”

Halperin argued he could show Scarborough several clips that contradicted his bold claim. Scarborough quickly pivoted the conversation to Trump.

Scarborough argued:

“He stumbled and bumbled around, Mark. I mean, yeah, he certainly did. Donald Trump did, other politicians did, and it’s actually the same case as a lot of times when I’ve gone in and talked to Donald Trump.

We go on to Donald Trump, and I’ve heard the media narrative around Donald Trump, and certainly I’ve been very critical of Donald Trump, and when I leave, I have a better understanding, just like Jeffrey Goldberg did a couple of weeks ago, a better understanding of where Donald Trump is mentally, if Donald Trump is losing it, like people have said through the years or not.”

“And so again, am I going to look at a clip that’s gone viral and pay more attention to that than two and a half, three hours I had with a guy one-on-one going around the world? No, I’m just not going to,” the MSNBC host said.

“Are some of the clips bad? Yeah, they certainly are bad.”

“Put into proper context, I’m just not going to freak out and melt down on one or two clips here and there,” the Morning Joe host added. “And again he bumbled around, and he stumbled around, but he has for quite some time. That didn’t seem to me to get in the way of Joe Biden being able to analyze the most important issues..”

CNN media hack Jake Tapper is attempting to rewrite history by distancing himself from the left’s cover-up of Biden’s mental and physical decline. 

On Tuesday, he spent a considerable time promoting his book, which he promises readers will blow the lid off the multi-year conspiracy to hide Biden’s decline. 

Scott Jennings recently slammed liberal journalists trying to profit by exposing the lies they helped to propagate, for which Tapper takes the medal for being one of the most blatant. 

“And now all the books are coming out, and it’s amazing because a lot of the people who were telling those lies are now going to get paid to write those books. It’s crazy.”

Despite his attempts to portray himself as an innocent bystander, Americans have yet to forget iconic moments when he tried to convince us that Biden was fit for office. Here are ten times that Tapper helped downplay Biden’s decline.

Tapper’s ballistic interview with Lara Trump.

One of the most memorable moments when Tapper attempted to cover Biden’s decline was when he hosted Lara Trump close to the 2020 presidential election. During the interview, he grilled the First Daughter over her previous description of Biden struggling to get the words out. 

“I feel kind of sad for Joe Biden. I’m supposed to want him to fail at every turn, but every time he’s on stage and they turn to him I’m like, ‘Joe, can you get it out? Let’s get the words out, Joe.’” Lara had said.

“How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?” Tapper asked her.

However, Tapper went ballistic when Lara said she had no idea that Biden had a stutter and insisted that his incoherence was the result of mental decline.

“First and foremost, I had no idea that Joe Biden ever suffered from a stutter. I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a cognitive decline,” Lara said.

“I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody’s cognitive decline,” Tapper lashed out. “I would think that somebody in the Trump family would be more sensitive to people who do not have medical licenses diagnosing politicians from afar.”

More stutter lies.

On March 21, 2024, during CNN’s The Lead, Tapper continued to push the false narrative and attack Donald Trump for mocking Biden’s cognitive decline.

“President Biden embraces his stutter, talking about it, while Trump mocks it, exaggerates it, belittles it.”

Trump had mocked Biden, saying, “Did you see him? He was stuttering through the whole thing.”

Biden is sharp mentally … physically, and Trump is only 3 years younger.

During CNN’s “Inside Look Into Joe Biden’s First Two Years As President,” Tapper insisted that the Democrat was sharp “mentally” before correcting himself and saying “physically.” 

He also attacked Trump, saying he was just a few years younger than Biden.

“He’s sharp mentally… physically? I think the question is physically, right, more so? And the guy who is his chief opponent is only three or four years younger than him,” Tapper said.

Former Dem Rep. Dean Phillips’ interview.

Tapper also questioned former Minnesota Democratic U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips over remarks he made about Biden suggesting that the then-president was unfit for office.

“Do you worry that you damaged him at all?” Tapper asked.

Tapper also accused Rep. Phillips of saying nasty things about other Democrats, thus suggesting that the former lawmaker’s alleged remarks about Biden’s decline were inaccurate and malicious.

Tapper: Biden’s decline false.

During another CNN segment, Tapper said the Wall Street Journal’s remarks “about President Biden’s mental fitness and acuity” were false.

“…false claims to the Wall Street Journal, about President Biden’s mental fitness and acuity…,” Tapper said.

Adam Schiff interview.

When hosting Russian Collusion propagandist Adam Schiff, Tapper said Biden was 81, but his memory was “not horrible.”

“He’s 81, and his memory, you know, it doesn’t seem great; it’s not horrible, but I don’t understand the outrage,” he said.

Blame Russia!

Typical of the left, Tapper attempted to blame Russia for spreading fake news about Biden’s cognitive decline.

“The Russians are trying to do to make us and the public not trust our election integrity. Joe Biden has dimension, all this stuff.”

More WSJ outrage.

Tapper claimed that the WSJ story was filled with problems and characterized concerns about Biden’s mental acuity as a talking point by conservative media.

“The Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corp, which is run by the Murdochs,” Tapper said, adding that those concerns were “mostly based on observations of Republicans.”

Not incapable of doing the job.

In March 2024, Tapper also attacked Republicans for questioning Biden’s mental condition and calling him weak and senile.

“He certainly seemed like an 81-year-old, but he didn’t seem incapable of doing the job,” Tapper said after Biden’s State of the Union address.

Meanwhile, Tapper’s team continues to deny his role in the cover-up, saying he always questioned Biden’s health.

“From the campaign in 2020 to 2024 when he dropped out, Jake raised concerns about President Biden’s mental stamina on his shows, questioned Biden officials directly about his health on air, and consistently encouraged open discussion and debate on the issue,” a CNN spokesperson said.

A new national survey finds that a growing number of Americans, across party lines, believe media bias is not only real but getting worse—with nearly half of likely voters saying the problem has intensified in recent years.

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey, released this week, found that 49% of likely voters believe news media bias is getting worse, compared to just 11% who think it’s improving.

The findings reflect persistent skepticism among voters toward media institutions, which many say have increasingly favored Democratic perspectives.

In a key question from the survey, likely voters were asked if they agreed with the statement, “No matter how much you hate the media, it’s not enough.”

Forty-four percent agreed, compared to 29% who disagreed.

The results show that distrust of the press is not limited to one age group or political affiliation.

Respondents included younger voters, older Americans, Hispanics, Republicans, independents, and Democrats, many of whom cited a consistent pro-Democratic tilt in coverage across major news outlets.

When asked directly whether media organizations favor Democrats over Republicans, 43% of Democrats said yes, while 24% disagreed.

Among Republicans, agreement with the statement was even higher.

Overall, 57% of Republicans said they agreed that no amount of media hatred is too much, compared to 21% who disagreed.

Among Democrats, 40% agreed with the sentiment, while 35% disagreed.

Media bias has been a recurring topic in American politics, but it has taken on renewed significance in recent election cycles.

The issue escalated after President Donald Trump entered the political arena in 2015, regularly challenging coverage from mainstream outlets and referring to certain organizations as “fake news.”

Since then, multiple administrations have sought to circumvent traditional media gatekeepers.

Former President Barack Obama notably used social media and digital outreach to speak directly to voters, bypassing major networks.

The Trump administration expanded that approach by granting broader access to conservative and center-right outlets, challenging the legacy media’s dominance in the White House press pool.

Still, public concern about media bias has remained high.

According to the Rasmussen survey, a significant portion of the electorate believes traditional media sources have strayed too far from balanced reporting and editorial neutrality.

The survey reflects a broader trend of declining trust in journalism institutions.

Multiple studies over the last decade have shown a sharp drop in public confidence in major news outlets.

The growing skepticism has been particularly pronounced among independents and Republicans, though the latest data suggests even Democratic voters are increasingly critical of the media’s political leanings.

Rasmussen Reports did not release the full crosstabs or sample size breakdown publicly, but confirmed that the poll included a representative sample of likely U.S. voters.

As debate continues about how news is gathered, presented, and interpreted, the latest numbers underscore the challenge facing media organizations—one that now includes rebuilding trust across the political spectrum.

CNN was forced into a commercial break after a shouting match ensued when one of the unhinged commentators was triggered and resorted to racial outbursts when facts were not in her favor.

Scott Jennings lit the match when he called out the Biden administration for letting everybody walk across the border without due process, to which Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton insisted they must leave.

“We are a sovereign nation,” Singleton said. “You cannot just come into our country illegally whenever the heck you want… we can’t do it to any other country on the face of this Earth.”

However, fellow unhinged commentator Ana Navarro tried to draw false parallels between slaves and other illegal immigrants who voluntarily crossed the border without authorization.

“We have a hell of a lot of people, other than the Black people who were brought here as slaves, who came to this country illegally,” Navarro said.

However, Singleton pointed out that the slaves “were brought here against our will” unlike illegal immigrants who “decided to walk their butt across the border.”

“There’s a big difference. There is a big difference,” he insisted.

“That’s exactly what I just said,” Navarro said, her voice getting sharper and louder. “That’s exactly what I just said. Sure, Shermichael. Sure, Shermichael. Looking—act indignant. That’s exactly what I just said.”

Meanwhile, Navarro and host Abby Philips continued to insist that Singleton had misheard the statement, with The View’s regular asserting that she has always advocated for Black people to say anything derogatory.

“Because you have advocated for Black people—great. Congratulations. Last time I checked, I’m Black. You’re not,” Singleton said.

“That’s right. I’m Latino, and my people are being racially profiled,” Navarro blurted.

Either way, illegal immigration is not remotely connected to slavery, and Navarro’s attempt to create the false analogy falls flat on its stomach. Similarly, all races, including Asians and black Africans, are being deported, thus making Navarro’s claim that her race was being profiled preposterous.

Nonetheless, liberals often inject racism and slavery into almost every conversation involving a Black person, in a likely attempt to gaslight them into agreeing. Former President Joe Biden even suggested that Black people were not indeed Black unless they were willing to vote for him.

“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t Black,” he said.

Having a Black person who is willing to call out the false racial narrative is always priceless and a huge threat to liberals. Subsequently, Black conservatives are usually the most hated by the left and are usually subject to various forms of racism by white liberals.

Meanwhile, Scott Jennings, who is rumored to be seeking another office instead of schooling liberals on CNN, watched the showdown from afar.

Word on the street is that he is considering running to replace the retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) and is waiting for Trump’s green light to proceed. Without a suitable replacement for Jennings, CNN risks losing whatever little credibility it had left.

As we reported on Friday, a former New Mexico county judge and his wife were cuffed and taken into federal custody Thursday after authorities discovered they were housing a Tren de Aragua member.

Former Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano and his wife, Nancy Cano, had their home raided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this week.

Later, CNN anchors had meltdowns, calling the development “aggressive, dramatic, and significant.”

“This is something that we have certainly not seen before, but appears to be part of this aggressive approach the Trump administration has toward immigration,” said CNN’s Katelyn Polantz.

Blitzer called it “very dramatic and significant indeed” while noting the rarity of such an action.

Watch:

FBI Director Kash Patel, posting on X, wrote:

“We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest. Thankfully, our agents chased down the perp on foot and he’s been in custody since, but the Judge’s obstruction created increased danger to the public.”

The arrests highlight the Trump administration’s intensified crackdown on illegal immigration as FBI Director Patel adopts a more aggressive approach to immigration-related law enforcement.

This is not the first time a judge has been arrested under President Trump for aiding illegal immigrants.

During Trump’s first term, Massachusetts Judge Shelley Joseph was charged with helping an illegal alien evade ICE.

New Mexico Judge Joel Cano resigned last year after federal agents arrested an illegal gang member living on his family’s property.

Cano is now permanently barred from serving in any judicial role, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws at every level.

CNN commentator Scott Jennings criticized the backlash against comedian Bill Maher for meeting with President Donald Trump, calling the response from the left “an attempt to intimidate people” and prevent any future dialogue between liberals and conservatives.

As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Jennings made the remarks during a recent CNN segment while discussing the outrage Maher faced after visiting the White House earlier this month.

Though Maher made it clear he was not joining the MAGA movement, critics on the left still reacted with hostility, accusing him of legitimizing Trump.

One of the harshest responses came from actor and comedian Larry David, who wrote an op-ed in The New York Times that compared Maher’s dinner with Trump to dining with Adolf Hitler.

The piece condemned both Maher and Trump’s supporters and has been widely circulated among Maher’s detractors.

Jennings offered his perspective on the controversy, pointing out that the criticism wasn’t merely about Maher’s specific meeting but about discouraging any similar future interactions.

“The message of this is not to — because Bill Maher, first of all, I totally agree, he’s totally in the right to do it,” Jennings said. “I loved his monologue, even though I disagree with almost everything he believes politically. He was right to do this and he was right to speak out about it.”

Jennings continued:

“But this isn’t about that dinner. It’s about the next one. Because this is the modern Left. It’s an attempt always to intimidate people into not ever doing it again. It’s to silence yourselves, or we’ll do it for you.”

According to Jennings, the goal is to send a clear signal to public figures on the left: avoid engaging with President Trump or his supporters, or face social and professional consequences.

“That’s the purpose of this op-ed, so that the next comedian, or the next person on the American left chooses not to speak to Donald Trump,” he added. “This is all an effort to get people not to do what you just said, which is to talk to each other and our political leaders.”

The incident highlights growing concerns over ideological gatekeeping and the left’s increasing intolerance toward dissent or dialogue with political opponents.

Maher, who has frequently clashed with conservatives, now finds himself under fire from the very audience that once applauded him.

A recent report circulating in the media suggests that the Trump administration no longer considers Russia a major cybersecurity threat.

The claim, based on an alleged memo from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), has drawn sharp criticism from officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), who have called it “garbage.”

The Guardian reported that a memo from CISA, which operates under DHS, outlined new cybersecurity priorities that focused on China and protecting local systems but did not mention Russia.

The report also cited an anonymous source claiming that analysts at the agency were verbally instructed not to follow or report on Russian cyber threats, despite Russia having previously been a primary focus.

The source further alleged that cybersecurity personnel cuts within the agency had weakened U.S. defenses, stating, “Russia and China are our biggest adversaries. With all the cuts being made to different agencies, a lot of cybersecurity personnel have been fired. Our systems are not going to be protected, and our adversaries know this.”

The report also included the claim, “People are saying Russia is winning. Putin is on the inside now.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt responded to the report, calling it “unbelievable.”

Other officials have also dismissed the claims, emphasizing that the memo in question was not produced by the Trump administration.

The allegations come amid longstanding media narratives linking Trump to Russia, many of which have been debunked in recent years.

Critics argue that the latest report follows the same pattern, attempting to reignite controversy over Trump’s approach to Russia despite a lack of verifiable evidence.

The Guardian has acknowledged its left-leaning perspective in past reporting, and while it often covers stories overlooked by U.S. outlets, this latest claim has been met with skepticism.

Some have drawn comparisons to past incidents where media outlets ran with documents or reports later found to be unreliable.

As of now, there has been no official confirmation of the memo’s authenticity, and DHS officials have categorically rejected the notion that the Trump administration instructed agencies to ignore Russian cyber threats.
