MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell sharply criticized CNN for prioritizing coverage of Jake Tapper's book on Joe Biden over the alarming conspiracy theories endorsed by Trump. O'Donnell emphasized the normalization of Trump's irrational statements, such as suggesting that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced by clones and robotic entities. He pointed out that the media should be questioning the mental state of the current president instead of focusing solely on past critiques of Biden's mental acuity, suggesting a troubling disparity in media coverage standards.
O'Donnell criticized CNN for focusing on Biden's debates while ignoring Trump's endorsement of a conspiracy theory about Biden, highlighting a media double standard.
He argued that it is remarkable that Trump's acceptance of absurd conspiracy theories is accepted without significant media scrutiny, representing a dangerous normalization of insanity.
