Tappper Spills the Beans
Timothy Birdnow
Jake Tapper must be getting desperate.
After being proven profoundly wrong and then beaten up over his attempt to prosper from his lies to America, the faux journalist is now spilling the beans.
Jake Tapper Admits media Took Order from Democrats for Decades
FTA:
This is Tapper's way of getting back in good with the public. He knows he's probably destroyed his career over the long haul - a journalist who has admitted to lying about a major story. His only hope now is to switch sides and hope the Right embraces him, at least enough to keep him in the game.
Otherwwise he wouldn't even have been on Goldberg's podcast. (Naturally, Goldberg has been a Nevertrumper and he probably hoped for easier treatment.)
Don't fall for it. He'll be back at the news desk pimping for Democrats if they will have him.

Jake Tapper Admits media Took Order from Democrats for Decades
FTA:
CNN anchor Jake Tapper acknowledged during recent interviews that the national press has, for years, functioned in service of the Democratic Party and failed to properly report on Joe Biden’s cognitive decline while in office.
Tapper’s remarks came during a conversation on "The Remnant” podcast with Jonah Goldberg on Thursday, where the two discussed perceived double standards in the media’s treatment of political figures based on party affiliation.
Goldberg argued that the press would have aggressively covered Biden’s mental decline if he had been a Republican or if President Donald Trump had represented a more establishment brand of conservatism.
"The one group of people who believe Biden’s ‘existential threat to democracy’ stuff about Trump was a big chunk of the D.C. press corps,” Goldberg said.
Tapper responded, "I don’t disagree with your general premise. And I think it’s unfortunate that a lot of the press criticism and journalism — and most known journalism professors out there — have been saying since the Bush years that it is the responsibility of journalists to basically take up the Democratic cause — capital D, not small-d — the Democratic Party cause. And I think that’s unfortunate. I don’t doubt that there were a lot of people who viewed the world that way.”
Tapper noted that while he agreed with Goldberg’s premise, he believed that the issue went beyond partisanship, pointing to a culture of "groupthink” and professional "intimidation” that shaped newsroom behavior during Biden’s presidency.
"I think it’s probably more complicated than partisanship,” Tapper said.
"We’re people too, journalists — and I think there’s probably a lot of groupthink. I think there’s probably a lot of intimidation.”

I think it's too late for Jake. Most of us are now saying "Jake who?"

There was once a baseball player named Nate Orf. My grandfather told me this story; he'd heard Nate's father interviewed and the man claimed he named his son Jack. I think Jake Tapper should change his last name to Orf.
I suspect he's going to fade away in time; he's now on everybody's shit list.
