Brett Meiselas @bmeiselas.bsky.social · May 16 Axios’ editorial comms director who is relentlessly pushing the Axios/Tapper book about Biden was a literal Republican operative who did comms for Ron Johnson, Kevin Cramer, the RNC, the ND Republican Party, and worked on Rand Paul’s 2016 campaign.

Gross
And that is why I cancelled my subscription
Well of course.
Right wing information game matched with social media algorithm control has been devastating to Democrats. Nothing has to be true. Everything gets framed to benefit republicans.
Why do people read Axios?
Of course.
Of course
And worked in press for the Trump Admin.
Axios forgot about ethics standards, Mike Allen was too busy deep throating Jim VandeHei
It seems every recent president had some mental acuity issue. Wonder when Axios/Tapper will be brave enough and honorable journalists to focus on the current President?
Axios is rightwing. They exist to launder gossip & smears to the public for House Rs (recall they printed the Swalwell smear which McCarthy - who no doubt fed Axios the info - then used to kick Swalwell off Intel Comm). They're also funded by fossil fuel industry.
Ya...I noticed tapper had gone full on grifter since Trump started his second term. i guess it was only a matter of time cnn showed its true colors (gop red)
Stay in the fight my friends! There’s a lot that’s going to need fixing but we can do this! ✊😆 youtu.be/SdnclbIdRRo?...
Imagine choosing to work for Ron Johnson. He may not be the dumbest senator, but damn is he stupid.
lol shocking he was super chatty with me on Twitter and started getting really flirty and talking about meeting up when I was in DC. (Married as well)
Bashing Biden is smoke and mirrors to deflect from trump’s disastrous first 4 months in office
It all makes sense now
Makes so much sense.
As I said, it’s not accident this Trash Biden look is getting first rate attention from the media.
Future pavement smear
He decided to work for Ron Johnson after his 2020 election lies?
Oh. Does he have Putin ties too?
📌
What a surprise, Not
I can't figure Axios out at all. And if I can't figure that out, I can't really use them as a reliable source.
Tappers father was a doctor and one would expect him to have some recognition of dementia related issues. Why drag Biden over the coals for a medical condition he has no control over? Just stop. It’s gross and looks like money grubbing at its lowest level.
Axios & their hit piece pushing BS about Biden
Next Dem congress needs to drag them in for a hearing. I also read that Maureen Dowd has hired a ton of former Daily Wire staffers.
Of course he did. Wow
Yes and it shows
Oh, Axios is a right wing propaganda machine you say…
gtfa (everyone talking about this)
Always suspected books like this as money laundering operations to get money to an organization under the radar of scrutiny.
This book is an outrage. These guys can’t competently report on anything that’s happening now in terms of the egregious behavior exhibited by our current president. In what universe is continuing to bash Biden constructive in this environment? I guess if you’re making money, it doesn’t matter how.
So he helped get a Republican to replace Heidi Heidkamp a Democrat because she voted for the ACA.
Jeeeeeesus
Thanks for sharing this info. I am not interested in Tapper’s book at all. How about journalists start covering the current Administration with better reporting.
Fuck all of them, especially @jaketapper.bsky.social
tbf weren't the meidas group all former republican operatives? I'm a huge fan of them and the tapper thing is ridiculous but also this is a lil funny
And yet that doesn’t change the truth of the book. Truth we could see and hear from Biden for years. Please don’t become a truth denying hack. We have enough of those already.
