Rep. Nancy Pelosi chided CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Tuesday for bringing up Donald Trump’s latest baseless smear of Vice President Kamala Harris regarding her acuity.
Listen, Pelosi is just as much a ghoul as most of Congress, but she’s absolutely right here. The media keeps ignoring their responsibilities as much as Congress has ceded its responsibilities to the executive branch. The Supreme Court and Presidency seem to be the only “estates” flexing any of their power and the US does everything it can to get morally reprehensible tools into those positions.
Tapper looks like Trump talking about Jan 6 or the death of Rowe v. Wade shielding himself from blame by saying “He’s the nominee, I thought you might have a reaction.”
What is CNN a fucking YouTube channel now? Are you doing a podcast Jake? Fuck off you corporate shill. Go hang out with Joe Rogan.
Disgraceful.
Jake Tapper is a fool reading what he was told to. Not a journalist or reporter. CNN has been captured by the right.
Now Taper’s lies are suddenly an issue for her?
If the Dem party had stood up for Talib when he did the same thing to her. He might not have done this
That’s funny. The Democratic Party standing up for a progressive.
No need to stand up for progressives when you got people like Dick Cheney on your side.
No willingness to stand up for progressives, regardless of who is on their side.
That was a bit different though - Tapper quickly apologized (see https://adc.org/demand-cnn-jake-tapper-and-dana-bash-apologize-for-false-attacks-on-rep-rashida-tlaib/ & https://www.commondreams.org/news/rashida-tlaib-false-allegations )
It is a bit tough to see though - Dems stick together in opposing the GOP, but when we see a fight between two Dems they try to avoid getting involved (as per https://www.mediaite.com/news/watch-gov-whitmer-completely-dodges-when-confronted-by-jake-tapper-about-whether-rep-tlaib-made-an-anti-semitic-smear-against-michigans-ag/ )
Though I also understand why Whitmer wouldn’t directly speak out. Nessel is under Whitmer, so Whitmer would be publically criticising her own subordinate. But, this wouldn’t apply to Pelosi… the best I can say about that is the issue with Nessel was just elow Pelosi’s radar.
Local stock guru snaps at terrible news media man.

Wait people still watch CNN
I live in Canada, and I have neighbours HERE that watch CNN.
Jake Tapper is the worst. Can’t stand the guy.
I think Jake Tapper and many others shouldn’t be called a journalist but a “News Influencer”
