The Lead

Proving why defunding PBS was a great thing for America, on Wednesday, Firing Line host Margaret Hoover appeared on CNN’s The Lead and laughed after hearing conservative commentator Scott Jennings recount watching a man get murdered right in front of him in Washington, D.C.’s Union Station. Hoover went on to decry President Trump’s effort to crackdown on the out-of-control…

Republicans living in Washington, D.C. were relieved that the city’s out-of-control crime was elevated to a national conversation after President Trump decided to take federal action to quash it. In a segment on Tuesday’s edition of CNN’s The Lead, Republican strategists Lauren Tomlinson and Doug Heye out classed former DNC communications director Karen Finney in proving that D.C. had…

On Monday’s edition of The Lead, CNN host Jake Tapper once again utterly embarrassed himself on the Texas redistricting issue. While he falsely claimed previously that Republicans were “the worst offenders when it comes to gerrymandering” and singled out Texas, this time he tried to go toe-to-toe with Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R). Tapper showed off a profound ignorance of the…

Now that his book tour was over, CNN’s Jake Tapper was back to hauling water for the Democrats. During the Tuesday episode of The Lead, the former Democratic operative turned CNN “journalist” dismissed his party’s widespread gerrymandering in several states, suggesting infamous Illinois was an outlier, and falsely proclaimed “most of the worst offenders when it comes to gerrymandering…

Early coverage of the declassification of documents related to the Russia Hoax by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard proves the adage coined by internet sage David Burge: "Journalism is about covering important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving.” Such is the case with CNN anchor Jake Tapper’s foray into the Russia Hoax firefight. 

CNN’s Jake Tapper tried desperately on The Lead on Friday to connect the news that CBS has cancelled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with parent company Paramount’s legal drama with President Trump. Tapper admitted he had no evidence for this but still found the whole thing to be “interesting” and promoted anonymous sources to help him advance his conspiracy theory.

O, Donie, where art thou?! That was the question worth asking Monday night when CNN’s The Lead had a new report about “Hate in America” in light of the deadly anti-Semitic attack in Colorado and deadly shootings of Minnesota state Democrats and host Jake Tapper brought out correspondent Tom Foreman instead of CNN’s supposed extremism expert Donie O’Sullivan.

On Thursday, the liberal media rushed to enflame the removal of far-left Senator Alex Padilla from a DHS press conference after he namelessly rushed at Secretary Noem and fought with security. Doing his part on CNN’s The Lead, Jake Tapper refused to fact-check powerful Democratic Senator Tammy Duckworth (IL) after she (twice) falsely claimed Padilla immediately identified himself;…

CNN’s adjudicated malicious defamer, Jake Tapper had discovered a new buzzword during his media blitz alongside Axios’s Alex Thompson to hawk their new book about the cover-up of President Biden’s cognitive decline: “humility.” But SirusXM radio host Megyn Kelly was the first interviewer to hold Tapper’s feet to the fire and grill him on his blatant complicity in helping to mislead and lie to…

CNN’s host of The Lead, Jake Tapper, tried to shame GOP Rep. Brandon Gill on Wednesday for trying to defund PBS and NPR by claiming, “PBS really helps little kids,” citing himself learning how to read by watching Sesame Street as an example. However, Tapper’s days in school were not complete as Gill informed him that the real issue is PBS’s “left-wing propaganda,” whether…

Team Trump put posters on the White House lawn – right behind the camera positions where the White House reporters chat with their anchors – with mugshots of illegal aliens who were arrested (and mostly convicted) of serious crimes, including fentanyl importation and child sexual assault. The Trump haters responded by blurring the images, out of great sensitivity to the unlikely potential…

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.

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…
