Didn’t he tour Afghanistan and write a best selling book “The Outpost”? Good book then; jerk and propagandist now.
If the house is inside the beltway, it is insanely overpriced.
Great post!
Critical thinking please folks. Let’s not devolve into that “other site”, where ideology, emotionalism, gossip, innuendo, and fake news hold sway over facts and logic.
You can’t get a mortgage without a sizable down payment. Therefore, the assumption that Tapper is paying interest on the whole $4 million must be false. That fact alone destroys the credibility of this article.
The article estimated his pay at 300K which I thought was too low.
Not buying it. Large-market local news anchors make more than $300k per year. I’d wager Tapper easily makes ten times (or more) than that.

Re. Jake Tapper’s “family friend,” Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky.

Tapper had read in the newspaper that Margolies-Mezvinsky, a family friend, was running for Congress. He called the house, and she immediately invited him over.
“You know, when you think about a political campaign, you picture this giant, organized machine,” Tapper said. “I got over there, and it was just Marjorie and two women sitting there talking.”
Tapper helped her with speeches, planning events, and “fell into” working with the press. After her primary victory, he joined her staff full time, where he has gained a reputation for bombarding media outlets with forests of shiny fax paper.
“I was seeing the fax machine in the beginning, but it was never a serious relationship. I really fell in love with my fax modem,” he quips.
After the election, Tapper asked Margolies-Mezvinsky on a train ride to Washington if he could be her press secretary. She agreed.
Margolies-Mezvinsky says she has known Tapper “since he was in the womb” and sometimes has to remind herself not to act like a doting relative. But she says Tapper instantly proved his worth early on in the campaign with his resourcefulness combined with a healthy sense of humor.
“I can’t say enough nice things about him without sounding like his mother,” Margolies-Mezvinsky said. “I had been in the media for 25 years, and I had gotten dozens of calls from friends after I won who wanted to work as press secretary. When Jake came to me and said, ‘I want to go to Washington,’ it was crystal clear to me that, despite all these people I had worked with in the field, he would be wonderful here, he would be just fine.”

Looks like the fake news business is lucrative for Jake.
Seems like it is a financial windfall to carry the DNC’s water for so many years.
