- Jon Stewart criticized CNN on May 19, 2025, for heavily promoting Jake Tapper's book about Joe Biden's health.

- Stewart mocked CNN's marketing of the book 'Original Sin', which recounts Biden's cognitive decline and a White House cover-up during his presidency.

- Stewart's remarks suggest concern about media ethics and imply that the revelation about Biden's health should have been disclosed earlier rather than sold as breaking news.
