Jake Tapper is a POS. Such a condescending jackass in his characterization of President Biden's

[JohnSJ]

presentation

[DURHAM D]

1. Change to MSNBC

Nicole just now: 95% of the American public will agree with the President. 95% of the press will disagree.

[JohnSJ]

3. I just did. Thanks

[badhair77]

4. Just saw Nicole. She said it well.

[NewsCenter28]

7. Jake Tapper is and always has been a right-wing maniac

See his attacks on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for a vaccine rollout that is now the best in the world (just had a few hiccups). Also, never forget Rush Limbaugh calling him the only journalist to "hold Obama to account" during the Obama administration. I will ALWAYS remember him drooling over the ACA premium rise 2 weeks before the 2016 election, gleeful that it would hurt Sec. Clinton's campaign.

I think he is a hard-core republican who just didn't like that the ring-wing maniacs chose someone like Trump to be their maniac instead of a GOPer more to his liking, like Ted Cruz or Chris Christie, perhaps?

1000% agree. Tapper can go rot in hell with his buddy Limbaugh!

[badhair77]

2. Can't stand him. Quit watching long ago.

Your description fits him well.

[JohnSJ]

5. I switched to MSNBC

[lame54]

6. Now that Santorum is gone he has to be twice the asshole

[Hoyt]

8. Add Clarissa Ward, and there are 6 more dour looking commentators to come.

Point is, I’m not blaming/condemning Media for criticism of execution.

[JohnSJ]

12. Brian Williams, "that was a consequential speech". Jake Tapper, "Biden was forced to make a speech"

It isn’t the criticism that bothers me, it is his belittling characterization of President Biden speech

Very unprofessional

[DET]

9. Turned Him Off

Tapper has been an arrogant ass since the withdrawal began. Couldn’t listen to him any more.

[OneBlueDotS-Carolina]

10. He's CNN's chuck todd

He should go back to his roots, exposing stuff on VH1

[AngryOldDem]

11. He just proved Nicolle Wallace's point.

The majority of Americans will agree with Biden; the majority of the press won’t. That’s because their careers and time slots hinge on constantly stirring shit. I miss the days of just three networks, one commentator, and a panel that would talk for maybe 15 minutes, and leave the rest to the viewers to consider. I hope her comment makes people think about the impact of 24/7/365 news programs.

Plus, Tapper can argue just to argue.

13. David Rothkopf tweeted about this

[JohnSJ]

14. Thanks. Well said., and nailed it

[SharonClark]

16. Excellent response!

[left-of-center2012]

15. Don't keep it a secret

What did he say?

[JohnSJ]

21. Tapper started his segment with Joni Ernst mutual admiration society, criticizing Obama and

Biden’s immigration policy, and how the state department wasn’t doing anything

Then Biden’s presentation begin

After the presentation Tapper started by saying Biden was “forced to talk about the unfolding crisis in Afghanistan”

Forced by who jake, you?

Then he starts by saying Biden withdrew troops from Afghanistan, but had to take that back and send more troops back in, saying the speech was full of finger pointing and blame game, brushing aside in an inconsequential manner that the Afghan government didn’t want the US to evacuate people, because they thought it would cause panic, and emphasizing in jake tappers feeble mind that Biden wasn’t accepting any blame, which is nonsense. Biden took full responsibility

I had to switch channels at that point

[GoodRaisin]

17. Agree.

I switched channels after about the third sentence out of his mouth.

[highplainsdem]

18. Judging by Twitter, the House Republicans love Tapper now, but regular CNN viewers don't.

[highplainsdem]

19. Tapper himself admires his "audacity" for "holding commanders in chief accountable." Asshole.

20. Mr. Tapper always knows more than anyone else,

except, strangely, the rightwing hacks and enablers he regularly has on his show. Self esteem just oozes from him. Where he gets it, I don't know.
