CNN Rewrites Its Rules After Jake Tapper Book Fiasco

CNN is reportedly tightening up its rules on staff hawking their own products on air after Jake Tapper’s intense promotion of his book on Joe Biden turned into a “rolling infomercial.”

Tapper, 56, is the host of CNN’s The Lead, as well as being a prolific author. Last May, he released Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, written with reporter Alex Thompson.

The book examined the former president’s mental decline in office, which the authors claimed was hidden from the public until the fateful presidential debate against Donald Trump in June 2024, which Tapper moderated on CNN.
