Jake Tapper

Immediately after Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds gave the GOP response to President Biden’s Tuesday night State of the Union address, CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash defended Biden from attacks from Reynolds on his Russia record.

CNN didn’t waste any time heaping praise on President Biden for his State of the Union address on Tuesday night with Jake Tapper proclaiming his performance was “quintessential Biden” and Van Jones declaring that “Uncle Joe is back”

President Biden’s weakness on the world stage is on full display again as new sanctions on Russia have failed to curb President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. And during Wednesday’s edition of The Lead, CNN host Jake Tapper pressed on this truth and was backed up by OutFront host Erin Burnett, who was reporting from Lviv, Ukraine.

Not long after Tuesday’s joint press conference between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announcing new sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine, CNN’s Jake Tapper was joined on The Lead by the latter. There, Tapper called out the sanctions as weak, less than what Ukraine was asking for, and barely a deterrent to Russian President Vladimir…

Just like their network counterparts, the primetime hours of both CNN and MSNBC completely ignored the bombshell court filings from Special Counsel John Durham showing that Hillary Clinton’s campaign allegedly spied on then-President Donald Trump both at Trump Tower in New York and the White House. In fact, with the exception of a brief segment on Jake Tapper's show in the 4 pm hour on CNN,…

On Sunday’s episode of CNN’s State of the Union, anchor Jake Tapper ripped into President Joe Biden for refusing to accept responsibility for the disastrous troop withdrawal in Afghanistan which killed thirteen American soldiers, including Ryan Knauss. 

“Profits above all else” was the fact that rang true on Tuesday’s edition of The Lead on CNN as anchor Jake Tapper and Wall Street Journal reporter Erich Schwartzel called out liberal Hollywood for capitulating to the censors in communist China to get their blood money.

Through a series of stories this week, it was evident CNN’s current staff have no interest in being salvaged as a serious news organization and anything other than a far-left propaganda outlet worthy of being some combination of mocked and ignored. Instead of seeking to move on from disgraced former boss Jeff Zucker, they’ve tried to canonize him as a tent pole of American democracy.

CNN spent Wednesday in mourning as if CNN boss Jeff Zucker had passed away when, in fact, he was pushed out for having carried on an inappropriate relationship with fellow CNN exec Allison Gollust, calling him “incredible,” “remarkable,” “larger than life,” and “singular” person who brought “a clarity of mission” to the network. In other words, it was something North Korean news reader Ri Chun…

Appearing on Monday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, CNN host Jake Tapper falsely claimed to the eponymous ABC host that Peter Doocy’s employer in Fox News “would never come to my defense” if a president called him “a stupid son of a bitch” as President Biden did hours earlier to the Fox White House correspondent.

In addition to making headlines by giving Russia the green light for a “minor incursion” into Ukraine during a press conference on Wednesday, President Biden dropped jaws when he declared the 2022 midterms would be illegitimate if the Senate didn’t pass the federal takeover of elections. And it was a declaration that raised serious concerns on both sides of the aisle as White House Press…

On Wednesday afternoon, the House Select Committee on January 6 requested cooperation from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). Naturally, CNN returned January 6 to its prime position as, from 3:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Eastern, the Jeff Zucker-led network spent 97 minutes obsessing over what it (and other developments) meant for the probe. In contrast to the 97 minutes and 19 seconds on…

For nearly two years, conservatives and Republicans were vilified as conspiracy theorists for raising questions about COVID hospitalization numbers when it came to who was there because of COVID and who just happened to be infected. On Monday, CNN and anchor Jake Tapper finally arrived at the scene to ask the obvious questions after CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky admitted to Fox News that…

On Friday, the liberal broadcast networks and Spanish-language networks (Telemundo & Univision) weren’t interested in showing just how ignorant a liberal Supreme Court justice was when discussing COVID-19. During the Supreme Court’s oral arguments about the vaccine mandates, liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor made multiple hyperbolic and false statements suggesting Omicron was as deadly as…
