After Jake Tapper’s Revelations About Biden’s Decline, Rasmussen Reports Poll shows 57% of Republicans “Can’t Hate the Media Enough”

Published

Significant attention has been drawn to the cognitive abilities of Joe Biden during his term in the Oval Office.  In his not-yet-released book, Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson reportedly claim that Biden staffers had considered putting him in a wheelchair, but that doing so would destroy any chances of a second term.

The wheelchair concern came from the White House physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who told staff that if he fell one more time, he would have to “serve in a wheelchair,” according to Tapper.

When CNN’s Kasie Hunt asked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ,”Did you really not have any idea that he was not fit to serve a second term?”  Schumer, as expected, completely dodged the question to instead claim he’s focused on “looking forward.”

As reported by The Gateway Pundit, Hunt, clearly annoyed with Schumer’s answer, broke to a panel where Chuck Todd scorned the Senator.

“HE (emphasis added) is among the people responsible for this,” Todd exclaims.  “I find everybody now talking to these authors…get out of here!  Go home!  You’re part of the problem.  Now you tell us??”

This apparent epiphany that Todd seems to have had in real-time on CNN is equally perplexing.  Where have you been, Chuck??  And that is meant as a sort-of double entendre as both Chuck Schumer and Chuck Todd bear responsibility for keeping this from their constituents and viewers, respectively.

There has been no shortage of Biden gaffes that have displayed his cognitive decline.  Whether it was calling on a Congresswoman who had died just a week prior, or invoking two dead world leaders as confidants in discussions Biden claimed he had with them about topics relating to events after they’d long been dead, or perhaps announcing that he was running for U.S. Senate twice on the campaign trail in 2020, or his “phantom handshakes” while up on stage.

The list goes on and on and on.  The Gateway Pundit has reported thoroughly on these mental gaffes, oftentimes called “conspiracy theorists” or “far-right” as a result.

But in reality, it’s called “journalism” and perhaps it’s time the Mockingbird Media outlets get back to it.  Instead, the “authoritative sources” refused to cover these gaffes, or oftentimes chalked them up to “one-offs,” “fake news,” or “isolated incidents.”

Thankfully, the coverage bias doesn’t go unnoticed.  As many of the Mockingbird Media outlets struggle to find viewership and revenue, many are having to lay off hundreds of employees as a result.  But how much does the population “hate” the current media landscape?

In a survey from the beginning of May, Rasmussen Reports polled 1,072 likely U.S. voters, asking if they agree that “no matter how much you hate the media, it’s not enough.”  Shockingly, 44% of voters agree, including 57% of Republicans and 40% of Democrats, but only 36% of independents share the sentiment.

Almost half, 49%, believe the bias is getting worse, marking a decline from the same question Rasmussen Reports asked in July 2024 when 61% agreed.  Just 11% believe the bias is getting better, however.  The belief in media bias is shared more broadly by Blacks (53%) and Hispanics (55%), while only 44% of Whites hold that animosity.

But perhaps most telling: 61% of people who voted for Donald Trump in 2024 express their “hate” of the media compared to only 33% of Harris voters.  Is that surprising when coverage of the 2024 Presidential race was 85% negative for President Trump vs. 78% positive for Kamala Harris?  Or that it’s been 92% negative in President Trump’s first 100 days?

Between the biases and the “hate” for the mainstream media, it begs the question: who’s actually watching?

Dr. Ben Carson is the newest member of the Trump administration.

On Wednesday, former Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Ben Carson, was sworn in as the national adviser for nutrition, health, and housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins shared that Carson’s role will be to oversee Trump’s new Big Beautiful Bill law, which aims to ensure Americans’ quality of life, from nutrition to stable housing.

After being sworn in, Carson shared, “Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish.”

Per USDA:

Today, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins announced that Dr. Benjamin S. Carson, Sr., M.D., was sworn in as the National Advisor for Nutrition, Health, and Housing at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

“There is no one more qualified than Dr. Carson to advise on policies that improve Americans’ everyday quality of life, from nutrition to healthcare quality to ensuring families have access to safe and stable housing,” said Secretary Rollins.

“With six in ten Americans living with at least one chronic disease, and rural communities facing unique challenges with respect to adequate housing, Dr. Carson’s insight and experience is critical. Dr. Carson will be crucial to implementing the rural health investment provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill and advise on America First polices related to nutrition, health, and housing.

“As the U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in the first Trump Administration, Dr. Carson worked to expand opportunity and strengthen communities, and we are honored to welcome him to the second Trump Administration to help lead our efforts here at USDA to Make America Healthy Again and ensure rural America continues to prosper.”

“Today, too many Americans are suffering from the effects of poor nutrition. Through common-sense policymaking, we have an opportunity to give our most vulnerable families the tools they need to flourish,” said Dr. Ben Carson. “I am honored to work with Secretary Rollins on these important initiatives to help fulfill President Trump’s vision for a healthier, stronger America.”

On Sunday, Dr. Carson was one of the many speakers at the memorial service of the late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.

During the memorial service, Carson highlighted that Kirk was shot at 12:24 p.m. and then continued to share the Bible verse John 12:24, which reads, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”

LEAKED MEMO: Deep State Prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia Claim There Isn’t Enough Evidence to Convict Comey Amid Reports of Imminent Indictment

On Wednesday evening, disgruntled officials in the Eastern District of Virginia leaked contents of a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey.

As reported earlier, former FBI Director James Comey is expected to be indicted in the Eastern District of Virginia in the next few days.

Comey will reportedly be charged for lying to Congress in a 2020 testimony about whether he authorized leaks to the media.

Officials in the Eastern District of Virginia are still fighting to stop Comey from being charged after Trump fired US Attorney Erik Siebert.

President Trump last week fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff and others.

On Saturday evening, President Trump announced that he had appointed Lindsey Halligan – his personal attorney who defended him against the Mar-a-Lago raid – as US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

Now, with just days to go before the statute of limitations runs out to charge Comey for lying during a September 30, 2020 testimony, Lindsey Halligan is reportedly gearing up to indict Comey.

Prosecutors reportedly gave newly sworn-in Halligan a memo defending James Comey and explaining why charges should not brought against the fired FBI Director.

Per MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian:

Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA US attorney‘s office presented newly sworn US attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey, because there isn’t enough evidence to establish probable cause a crime was committed, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict him.

Justice Department guidelines say a case should not be brought unless prosecutors believe it’s more likely than not that they can win a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.

Nearly 8 in 10 Voters Say the United States is in Political Crisis After the Assassination of Charlie Kirk

Nearly eight in ten voters believe that the United States is in a political crisis in the wake of the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk.

According to a Quinnipiac University national poll of registered voters released on Wednesday, a massive 93 percent of Democrats, 84 percent of independents, and 60 percent of Republicans said the nation is in a political crisis.

“The Kirk assassination lays bare raw, bipartisan concerns about where the country is headed,” Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said of the poll results.

Quinnipiac reports:

Seventy-one percent of voters think politically motivated violence in the United States today is a very serious problem, 22 percent think it is a somewhat serious problem, 3 percent think it is a not so serious problem, and 1 percent think it is not a problem at all.

This is a jump from Quinnipiac University’s June 26 poll when 54 percent thought politically motivated violence in the United States today was a very serious problem, 37 percent thought it was a somewhat serious problem, 6 percent thought it was a not so serious problem, and 2 percent thought it was not a problem at all.

Nearly 6 in 10 voters (58 percent) think it will not be possible to lower the temperature on political rhetoric and speech in the United States, while 34 percent think it will be possible.

Over half, 54 percent, of voters believe the US will see increased political violence over the next few years. Another 27 percent said they think it will stay “about the same,” while just 14 percent believe it will ease.

A 53 percent majority also said they are “pessimistic about freedom of speech being protected in the United States.”

Surprisingly, a 53 percent majority also believes the current system of democracy is not working.

“From a perceived assault on freedom of speech to the fragility of the democracy, a shudder of concern and pessimism rattles a broad swath of the electorate. Nearly 80 percent of registered voters feel they are witnessing a political crisis, seven in ten say political violence is a very serious problem, and a majority say this discord won’t go away anytime soon,” Malloy added.

The vast majority, 82 percent, said the way that people discuss politics is contributing to the violence.

“When asked if political discourse is contributing to violence, a rare meeting of the minds…Republicans, Democrats, and independents in equal numbers say yes, it is,” Malloy said.

The survey was conducted from September 18 to 21 among 1,276 registered voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.3 percentage points.
