Earlier this month, anchorman Jake Tapper demanded that CNN ban all Republicans (except Liz Cheney) because some dare question the veracity of the close counts in a half dozen states, which led to Biden's upset win.
Tapper said, "The lie about the election on its own is anti-democracy and it is sowing seeds of ignorance in the populace and, obviously, it has the potential to incite violence, but beyond that is if you're willing to lie about that, what are you not willing to lie about? That's where we are when it comes to the House Republican leadership McCarthy and [Rep. Steve] Scalise and where we are with too many leaders of the Republican Party. They're not willing to tell their voters the truth! What does that say about them?"
And Tapper did not stop there. He said, "How am I supposed to believe anything they say? If they’re willing to lie about Joe Biden wanting to steal your hamburgers and QAnon and the Big Lie about the election, what are they not willing to lie about? Why should I put any of them on TV?"
Stealing hamburgers? Um, the 7th ranking anchor on the 3rd-ranked cable channel got a little wound up.
His complaint about seeking a recount is odd because 20 years ago, Tapper was the one questioning the results of a presidential election. By his own definition, he is anti-democracy.
His book, "Down and Dirty: The Plot to Steal the Presidency," alleged that Florida officials illegally threw away 180,111 ballots cast in an election that President George Walker Bush won by 537 votes.
Tapper covered the election for salon.com and was upset with the outcome. In his book, he spread the rumor that Secretary of State Katherine Harris, whose office oversaw the election, had an affair with Jeb!
Tapper wrote, "It may well be that the biggest difference between Bush and Gore at this point is that Bush has a Katherine Harris, and Gore doesn't."
Oh dear.
16 years later, Tapper was at it again pushing the Russian Collusion Conspiracy Theory that Vladimir Putin was in cahoots with Donald John Trump and stole the election.
There is Tapper's name in the byline of the first mainstream story pushing this bald-faced lie.
QAnon has nothing on this Tapper nutball. He is proof of the prescience of the movie Network.
And he's Mad As Hell!
Retired Newspaper guys have long memories
ReplyDeleteand really great filing systems, too.
DeleteIt's like this idiot forgets the Internet is forever. My problem is even with this truth, they are seldom called into account by our society. I long for the days of tarring and feathering, although I would be nice and use spray on tar, not hot tar.
ReplyDeleteYou could update your stylebook to refer to Jack Tapper as Down & Dirty Jack Tapper henceforth

DeleteJake has spoken many times of his long-time (unrealized) dream of marrying Gore's wife. You know, Tipper Tapper.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha!! Made me laugh out loud!!
DeleteKnifecatcher - you are a prolific Jew hater we get that. But what’s your point, other than to confirm the fact that you are a Jew hater.
ReplyDeleteWhen you realize you are losing an argument, it is common to abandon the argument and attack the person. It is one of many forms of arguments called ad hominem, or to the person.
DeleteHe wasn't attacking you. He was just pointing out that all of your posts have an antisemitic common thread, and that you don't have any real point to make. I mean, all of what you say is true, but so what?
DeleteSo kc, what argument were you losing that prompted you to resume attacking Jews rather than stick to facts?
DeleteWhat is amazing to me is that there are so many really ignorant people who actually watch and believe what the see on this so-called news network.
