Report Details Biden Aide Reaction To Media Report In 2024

The unraveling of the Biden presidency, once carefully concealed behind media spin, choreographed appearances, and Hollywood intervention, is now out in the open—and no amount of posturing from the White House or its allies can put the toothpaste back in the tube. At the center of the deception is Mike Donilon, a top Biden adviser whose behind-the-scenes manipulation was pivotal in shielding the public from the reality of President Joe Biden’s health and cognitive decline.

In the wake of the June CNN debate—where Biden delivered what can only be described as an electoral disaster—Donilon attempted to downplay the moment as an overreaction. But reports now confirm that Donilon and his team weren’t surprised by the president’s performance—they were preparing for it. In fact, they were orchestrating elaborate media strategies for months to keep the wheels from coming off.

According to Semafor’s early look at Original Sin, the book by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson:

  • Donilon personally pressured journalists to kill stories about Biden’s failing mental faculties, yelling at reporters and stalling coverage.

  • The White House selectively leaked sensitive documents, like the Special Counsel’s report, to sympathetic media in a preemptive spin operation.

  • The campaign even enlisted Steven Spielberg to help stage and edit video content—slowing down footage so Biden’s sluggish gait wouldn’t appear so jarring and scrubbing out gaffes in post-production.

That’s not strategy. That’s cinematic propaganda.

Now, in retrospect, it all fits. The confusion at the G-7 Summit, the awkward teleprompter flubs, the inability to remember his own son’s death—these weren’t isolated moments. They were symptoms. And we now know the president wasn’t just suffering from cognitive decline; he was battling aggressive, metastatic prostate cancer, a diagnosis only disclosed after he left office. Doctors and analysts confirm this kind of cancer doesn’t develop overnight. It’s a long, deteriorating process—one that couldn’t have escaped the notice of his closest advisers.

So what did they do? They lied. Repeatedly. Boldly. With full knowledge of what they were doing.

This wasn’t just about protecting a legacy. This was about preserving political power at any cost, even if it meant running a cognitively impaired, physically ailing man for the most demanding job in the world—just to stop a Republican victory.

The book offers more than just a look behind the curtain—it gives a front-row seat to the institutional panic that followed Biden’s collapse on live television. Vice President Kamala Harris had been prepped to spin the performance across four networks. Afterward, even she was seething, reportedly exploding after a CNN interview, shouting that Anderson Cooper “doesn’t treat me like the damn vice president.”

This wasn’t a crisis. It was a collapse—of credibility, of leadership, and of the facade carefully built to deceive the American people.

What we’ve learned is that the Biden administration’s most consistent achievement wasn’t economic growth, foreign policy wins, or pandemic recovery—it was illusion. They edited footage, manipulated media, stifled stories, and insulted the intelligence of voters to prop up a narrative that everyone could see was falling apart.

Mike Donilon’s attempts to gaslight the public into believing the debate was just a bad night are laughable now. The truth was always in plain sight—only now it’s been confirmed, chronicled, and dissected.

And yet, had the American people not witnessed Biden’s incoherence firsthand on the CNN debate stage, the full extent of this con might never have come to light. The media would have continued running cover, the staffers would have kept editing clips, and the Democrats might have marched their wounded figurehead into another national humiliation.
