Kudos to Jake Tapper for writing a book about former President Joe Biden‘s decline while in office after denying it all along. Where was the CNN anchor when the events were occurring ( “Jake Tapper’s message to the media on holding power to account,” June 4)?

Tapper is the classic case of a pundit who lets his politics inform his reporting. He is not someone to be admired.

Now that Biden is down for the count, Tapper is on a book tour touting his discovery that, after all, he should’ve asked harder questions. And he has the audacity to title the book “Original Sin” whatever that means.

Veteran CBS News reporter Scott Pelley is speaking truth to power. Yet, your editorial criticizes him for doing that.

We need a lot more Pelley and a whole lot less of Jake Tapper.
