Why people recommend it
Original Sin by Tatha Wiley is a non-fiction book examining political decline, media coverage, and the controversies surrounding political figures. The book received substantial discussion during an appearance by co-authors Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson on The Megyn Kelly Show. Host Megyn Kelly introduced the interview by giving the full title of the work, which covers President Biden's decline, the alleged cover-up, and his decision to run again. Throughout the episode, Kelly referenced specific details from the book, including passages on page four detailing cognitive decline, while questioning the authors about media accountability. Alex Thompson defended his reporting by noting that media rooms had intentionally chosen not to dig into the story initially, acknowledging it as a massive oversight addressed in the book. Jake Tapper also discussed the creation and timing of the project with Thompson. Furthermore, Megyn Kelly highlighted the negative reception the book encountered on other television programs like The View. At the close of the episode, Kelly provided a final recommendation to her audience, noting that the publication was available for purchase immediately.
