Jake Tapper is laying down the law with Propaganda Barbie

He is taking her to task about the Trump administration war on the media...hammering her again and again about the constant lies. She is a bit cowed in this interview. I think she felt the heat of the 2 day boycott. I can only wish they had made the ban permanent. At least he's holding her feet to the fire.

Start covering us in a positive way!

And she's admitting to "misspeaking."

"I felt really badly about that," she said of the "Bowling Green massacre."

She's not as confrontational today, at least.

Tapper was good...kept at her even though her responses were all pivot answers.

He called Trump's words lies, but I so wish they would tell her to fuck herself and leave the job to someone to someone that tells the truth. She has ZERO credibility.

I can't believe they put her back on, but maybe that was worth it. It was nice to see her without that smug, reptilian smile. I think what another poster said above about an extra xanax today may be about right. She was either purposefully subdued and somewhat reasonable, or she was drugged...either way, I've never seen her so dominated in an interview. Great job, Tapper!

They really should have never let her back on...and all the other networks should permanently ban her, too. Unfortunately, this one small victory that Tapper won will just get her foot right back in the door. Other pundits will want to interview her in the hopes of achieving a similar result, and she'll slide right back into her circular logic and aversion to anything resembling truth or reality. This one interview, while cathartic for us, will just allow her more opportunities to spew her drivel.

She seemed somewhat reserved but still just can't seem to stick to the truth or admit that Twitler lies.
