Hunter Biden has launched a blistering attack on CNN anchor Jake Tapper, calling his journalism “poor” and questioning the authenticity of Tapper’s recent book, suggesting it may have been generated using ChatGPT. During an explosive interview with Mediaite reporter Tommy Christopher this week, Biden did not hold back, stating, “I don’t live my life to impress Jake Tapper,” and highlighting the “ugly” nature of addiction and personal struggles detailed in his own book.
Biden’s comments come as Tapper promotes his co-authored book, Original Sin, which critiques former President Joe Biden’s mental decline. Hunter Biden dismissed Tapper’s arguments, stating, “You can read my book all about my scumbaggery. I wrote all about it.”
The former first son expressed disdain for Tapper’s standing in the media landscape, claiming he “ranks about 35 or 40” among cable news shows, indicating a perceived decline in Tapper’s audience. “I don’t know many people that like Jake, okay? I really don’t,” Biden asserted, reflecting on his long history in Washington D.C.
Hunter also criticized CNN’s platforming of Tapper’s work, stating that the network allowed “an infomercial for his book” to air, particularly ahead of the release of Tapper’s latest title, Race Against Terror. “I think Jake’s got to cool it on the ChatGPT,” he added, indicating that the anchor should take a break before publishing more books.
Biden’s remarks are not just personal attacks but also a reflection of the ongoing tensions within media circles, raising questions about journalistic integrity and the relationship between public figures and the press.
As this story develops, the public is left to wonder how Tapper will respond to Biden’s pointed criticisms. CNN has yet to issue a statement regarding the controversy. This unfolding drama encapsulates the complex dynamics between media personalities and political figures, making it a hot topic in both social and traditional media.
