Did CNN Cover Up the Biden Family Scandal? Historian Accuses Jake Tapper of Duplicity

On May 26th, 2025, a video surfaced online featuring historian Victor Davis Hanson accusing CNN's Jake Tapper of journalistic malpractice. Hanson alleges that Tapper and other mainstream news outlets engaged in a deliberate cover-up of the Biden family scandal, only addressing the issue once it became politically opportune. Hanson claims this cover-up extended to downplaying President Biden's health concerns. "Tapper, no one from CNN is gonna get a seat at a press conference," Hanson stated, illustrating his point about the alleged media collusion. The video has sparked debate about media bias and the ethical responsibilities of journalists in covering political scandals. The claims made in the video require further investigation to verify their accuracy and context.
