Jake Tapper

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.

On Tuesday, CNN’s The Lead host Jake Tapper was all of us in having to deal with the middle-aged, theatre kid buffoonery of Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury (D-NM), who was brought on as a Democrat from the Oversight Committee to counter an earlier interview with Chairman James Comer (R-KY) about the Biden autopen report. Instead, she hijacked it to accuse Republicans of wanting tens…

CNN’s Jake Tapper had on the seven-time Mr.Olympia and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to discuss partisan gerrymandering, among other topics, and got an earful when he tried to justify California’s gerrymandering referendum known as Prop 50. Tapper got a near-total recitation of Democrat partisan gerrymandering efforts in a way not normally seen on cable TV.

Shortly before 5pm on Thursday, it was reported that New York Attorney General Letitia James had been indicted by a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia, on charges stemming from allegations of mortgage fraud.
