Jake Tapper on CNN pimping hard for Melanoma-trying to increase Drumpf's approval ratings no doubt

If your viewers wanted a Trump-fest, they would turn to FNC and Hannity Jake. I remember how much you hated Obama and supported Trump during the campaign too!

What about the distinguished former senate majority leader, Harry Reid? He, too, is in hospital, and has accomplished far more for America than Melanoma, who all we know is complicit in the Russian treason. Health care for millions anyone??

Are we going to get 5 days of 24/7 rolling coverage, as an "anxious nation prays for it's Queen?', Jake???

Nicole Wallace isn't being dragged into this game. She interviewed Michael Avenatti while Tapper swoons all over his heroes, Melanoma and TinyThumbs.

CNN can go take a hike!

But anyone who thinks Tapper is a Trump lover hasn't been paying attention.

Kidney problems are one of the first signs for many poisons. She hasn't been the most outwardly devoted of spouses, after all.

Not being a cable news watcher, what should be the relevant and fair quotient of time allotted to this particular story be, and on what is that measure based?

They are giving this way more coverage than they gave President Bush's ICU hospitalization or First Lady Barbara Bush's passing. Also, I believe they gave (CNN did) former President Gerald Ford's death 2-1/2 hours of breaking news and then forgot all about him to talk about Saddam's upcoming execution in 2007. I turned it off but if Jake is still droning on about her, this is more than the Bushes and Fords got already.

This is also way more than Nancy Reagan's death got for heaven's sake (again, I don't know as I turned it off in disgust).

Jake may criticize. We all criticize the party we support, but he seems like a KGOPer to me, at heart. Rush Limbaugh told his viewers during the Obama years that Jake Tapper was the only reporter he trusted. Remember that?

Seriously do you think calling her Melanoma makes you sound cool or something?
