Jake Tapper

CNN went into overdrive for its coverage of the two special congressional elections in Florida, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, pre-empting their normal prime time schedule in favor of full Election Night Coverage. Coverage proved to be little more than an exercise in Elon Musk Derangement therapy, with some elections happening in-between. 

Once again, CNN’s Scott Jennings says the one thing exposing leftist hypocrisy that causes a segment to go up in smoke. This time, he did it on CNN’s State of the Union.

CNN host Jake Tapper announced that he and Axios reporter (and CNN analyst) Alex Thompson have a book coming out in May titled Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. They promise “an unflinching and explosive reckoning.” Conservative reaction was fierce. CNN was part of the coverup. We need a book like this, that finally exposes…

On Thursday and Friday, CNN and MSNBC both linked the tragic suicide of a Hispanic child in Texas to the Donald Trump administration's recent push to deport illegal immigrants. These networks would never, ever blame a suicide on anything the Democrats said or did.

Democrats and their corporate media allies like to quietly redefine political terms to suit their needs. Threats to “democracy” are really threats to the entrenched, unaccountable, left-of-center bureaucracy; “misinformation,” along with its “dis-” and “mal-” cousins, is any fact or narrative that is inconvenient for the political left; and basically anyone or anything who runs afoul of the…

The liberal media had become so anti-Elon Musk they wanted to dissuade everyone from listening to what he had to say, including his pointing out of the Muslim rape gangs going unprosecuted in the U.K. Near the end of the first hour of Thursday’s edition of The Lead, CNN host Jake Tapper ran a report from CNN international diplomatic editor Nic Robertson decrying Musk for “opening old…

Following their being found liable for defamation in January, CNN proclaimed in a statement that they “will of course take what useful lessons we can from this case.” But during Monday’s edition of The Lead, host Jake Tapper once again found himself embroiled in controversy when he refused to strongly push back on Democratic Senator Chris Murphy (CT) after he peddled the long-debunked…

It’s been a while but White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller seemed to still have it during a Tuesday interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on The Lead. Miller repeatedly embarrassed Tapper by calling out the outlandish assertions he was making and throwing them back in his face, like suggesting it was “demonizing” to note that someone voted for Vice President Kamala…

Twice on Friday, CNN turned to in-house fact-check and Canadian Daniel Dale to spin-spoil for FEMA and lambast President Donald Trump targeting the response of the agency to last fall’s aftermath of Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina and this month’s wildfires in southern California.

On Inauguration Day, CNN host Jake Tapper warned about Big Tech execs: "We‘re about to enter an era of deepfakes, and all sorts of misinformation and the degree to which those five gentlemen play a role or do not play a role, will be pivotal in terms of where the American people are four years from now, in terms of understanding what is true and what is false.” CNN never misinforms?

Largely lost in the coverage of witness testimony, breaking news of the liability verdict against CNN, and the subsequent settlement on punitive damages, was how CNN’s lead counsel David Axelrod (not to be confused with the CNN commentator of the same name) had repeatedly lied to Judge William Scott Henry and was dressed down in front of the court and streamed around the world because of it.…

A jury in Panama City, Florida found CNN guilty of defamation in the case of Zachary Young, who worked to rescue people from Afghanistan after America withdrew. CNN must pay $5 million in damages (not counting punitive damages). Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro has been in the courtroom to explain it all. 

Panama City, FL – On Friday, a jury of six in Florida’s 14th Circuit Court in Bay County has found CNN liable for the defamation of Navy veteran Zachary Young and that he was entitled economic and emotional damages, a ruling that proved CNN was not worthy of their moniker “the most trusted name in news.” They also found that CNN’s reporters had demonstrated expressed malice,…

The six-person jury for the $1 billion defamation suit against CNN heard closing arguments on Thursday and started their deliberations. Both parties urged the jury to use their “common sense” to see them through deliberations and secure them the legal victory. But it was the argument of Vel Freedman, the lead counsel for Navy veteran and Plaintiff Zachary Young, who called on the jury, “Your…
