I put him in my basket of deplorables with the con artist and Tucker Carlson. He's vile and irredeemable.

(27,316 posts)He skewered Tapper and CNN for how often they shamelessly plugged Tapper's book on Biden. Pathetic!

(3,025 posts)Tapper is horrible. And CNN and Brian Stelter are horrible for promoting Tapper's fabricated trash.

(8,045 posts)He was attacking Biden most of last year with the same fervor as Tapper. His criticizing Tapper is hypocrisy.

(4,177 posts)He never made an impression on me. Now he has. Over (in sensu stricto) nothing important.

(9,212 posts)I never liked him. The book etc. and lying takes it a step further and says it all. He is yet another of the many in the media that helped the psycho take power. He is abusing his job and purpose in my opinion. Its possible hes opening himself up to liability issues here too.

(10,925 posts)My 'offence' around the 2008 election was to post information under his story that showed what Tapper was reporting was not correct/accurate. I backed up my claim with links.
I did that a few times and they banned me without warning or explanation.
I was credibly noting that his story was misleading or not accurate and basically proving it with links to back me up.
They/Tapper did not like that.
Elon Musk did something similar to me on X last September.
This article upset Musk

Because this chart in the article contradicted Musk's narrative

Showing the lowering the illegal immigrants during Obama's years
Musk claimed Obama-Biden were increasing the number of illegal immigrants to increase illegal immigrants voting. Pew's article showed otherwise.
Guys like Musk & Tapper don't like their narrative being exposed for the BS it is.
I've never found Tapper reliable nor that smart.
