“Our coverage follows his lead. I think that if he pivoted as he claimed he would and was more presidential, not sending out nasty tweets about Nordstrom or judges or not go to the National Prayer Breakfast and talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger ratings, then I would be delighted, frankly, to cover the policies more. But there’s this whole other thing going on with this White House.” — Jake Tapper to Stephen Colbert, when asked whether Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway’s plea with him the day before to change CNN’s coverage of the President would be considered.

Rightwing Infighting happies me.

Did you actually read the article??? The author just wants all gays to shut up and be quiet and take what they’re given (I.e. You’ll be left alone to your depravity, just stop asking for equal rights.)
It’s not infighting; it’s homophobia.

Jake Tapper is that dad you used to fantasize about when you were 12 and daydreamed about what he looked like naked.

The dad I fantasised about seeing naked was a dark hairy Italian and I got my fantasy lol 🙂

Glad it’s not just me. Intelligence and wit are sexy (and being adorable doesn’t hurt, either.)

I like Trapper’s stance on his coverage of Trump. If Trump wants good coverage he needs to earn it.

arrogant self-righteous journalist…not my cup of tea. Who the Hell does he think he is…the new Nature’s Remedy?

Jake Tapper isn’t letting Trump or his Lying Whores off the hook. We need more “arrogance” like that.
SteveDenver
Good for Tapper!
Some morons keep calling for Trump to be given “a chance.”
He has had many chances over the past five months, and blown them all.

Too bad Jake Tapper was exposed in the DNC email leak as aiding the DNC with easy questions for Hillary and others in interviews. A top DNC representative was shown to have emailed other DNC operatives asking what questions they should give Jake Tapper to ask Hillary. Why would the DNC decide for Jake Tapper what he should ask?
It’s fine to say politicians shouldn’t be given a free pass and they shouldn’t BUT if you say that then you should apply those standards to EVERY politician and not just the ones you don’t like

Like so many other “news” outlets, CNN proved itself to be just another pit of lefty activists with an agenda. They might not have come out and blatantly told their viewers to vote Clinton, but they certainly more than suggested as much while they demeaned Trump as fiercely as they could. I believed—hoped, actually—that Tapper was the last genuine journalist at CNN who wasn’t in the tank for the DNC, but apparently that was a flawed belief.

Don’t expect Trump to ever act presidential. He’s an entertainer. He’s a clown. He craves for publicity.
Also, that’s what the rednecks and hillbillies who elected him want from him anyway… to act like them.
Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy four years.
