Jake Tapper

Near the end of Thursday’s edition of The Lead, host Jake Tapper boosted an election theft conspiracy pushed by The Washington Post, which erroneously claimed President Trump was going to issue an emergency declaration to steal the midterm elections. Tapper even brought on the senior White House reporter to wrote the story, Isaac Arnsdorf to help give the accusations weight.…

Just after midnight in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, CNN was still reacting to President Trump’s State of the Union address when co-anchor Jake Tapper led the rest of the ladies on the panel in clutching their pearls over Democrats getting called out as “crazy” by the President. Of course, they didn’t mention what issue Trump called them “crazy” for supporting and it was a pretty…

On Jake Tapper's CNN show on Tuesday, they discussed Stephen Colbert's stunt of putting an interview with Texas state Rep. James Talarico on YouTube because his lawyers banned him from putting Talarico on air. CNN and Jonah Goldberg touted this as a "gift" for the two men, a "perfect storm" where "everybody" opposed to Trump comes out a winner. 

On CNN's State of the Union, host Jake Tapper repeatedly tries to lure Tom Homan into bashing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem--but the border czar won't bite, saying, "It’s one team, one fight. I’m not going to divide this administration.”

Most Americans are aware of the controversies involving ICE, and the attacks aimed at their agents. If you are in the media, you have to know about the statements made against ICE by the man who will be featured in Sunday's Super Bowl Half Time Show,…

On his show The Lead on Monday, CNN host Jake Tapper turned angrily on former Trump official Chad Mizelle when he suggested blaming Alex Pretti’s shooting in part on Tim Walz saying ICE is “Trump’s Gestapo” and Jacob Frey telling ICE to “get the F out” of Minneapolis. Tapper was so furious he accused Mizelle of hating free speech, and thinking Pretti deserved to be shot. 

The Elitist Media’s Sunday shows, in furtherance of preserving MInnesota’s civil unrest over interior immigration enforcement, booked Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey for another round of softballs and patty-cake. With perhaps one exception, they all enabled his inflammatory rhetoric.

A great deal of media coverage of the events in Minneapolis is marred by a bad-faith framing of the events that ultimately seek to blame the ICE agent and ICE policy for the unfortunate death of Renee Nicole Good. Case in point, Jake Tapper’s interview of Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) on an extended State of the Union.

2025 marked a year of arguably unparalleled success for the NewsBusters team seeing as how, along with chronicling the best and worst in daily and long-term liberal media bias, we helped see to a successful conclusion a decades-long fight to defund National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS. As you’ll see below in our top-ten list of the most read stories, you’ll see NPR come up along with the major…

Late night comedy’s regular trashing of conservatives and Republicans is not confined to the hosts. Oftentimes, guests are brought on to parrot the host's beliefs, and with a new Republican president, an outgoing host, and another that was briefly suspended, those guests had lots to talk about this year. Here are the ten worst.

Will he write a book about getting this one wrong too? CNN host made a fool out himself again Thursday evening. He kicked off The Lead by falsely claiming that the suspect arrested for planning pipe bombs outside of the Democratic and Republican National Committees national offices ahead of January 6, was a “white man,” when he was, in fact, black. He also refused to correct the…

According to a November 25 McLaughlin & Associates national poll of 1,000 likely voters conducted for the Media Research Center, less than a quarter of respondents correctly described Tyler Robinson, the man accused of murdering TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk, as left-wing.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, the liberal media rushed to the defense of ABC chief White House correspondent and liberal tool Mary Bruce following President Trump’s extensive dressing down of her over questions about to him about the Epstein files and Trump family business dealings in Saudi Arabia and then to the Saudi crown prince about 9/11 and Jamal Khashoggi.

Another weekend rolled through, with the elitist media doing their level best to actively avoid covering the biggest political scandal since Watergate: the weaponization of the federal government against Republicans and conservatives known as Operation Arctic Frost. Instead, the Sunday shows ran their clocks out with a mix of off-year election previews and shutdown apologia.
