Jake Tapper Praises ‘Golden Age of Journalism,’ Trump Policies ‘Built’ on ‘Racism’
Breitbart - Big Journalism ^ | 8-27-2018 | Robert Kraychik

Posted on 08/28/2018 9:44:14 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

CNN’s Jake Tapper described some of President Donald Trump’s policies as being built on “racism” while praising what he said was today’s “golden age of journalism.” He made his remarks last Thursday at the American Society of Travel Agents convention in Washington, DC.

Tapper said that some of Trump’s policies are occasionally built on “racism,” “in the views of many people”

(snip)

Tapper framed himself as a voice for “basic facts, basic truth, and basic decency,” while implicitly accusing Trump of not condemning “white supremacy” ……

CNN markets itself as a politically objective and non-partisan news media outlet. It brands itself as “The Most Trusted Name In News” with the slogan “Facts First.”

I’m sure he believes that. It is unfortunate that the mentally ill do not recognize their illness

It’s not about covering the news anyway..

They have 55 gallon drums full of Fake News Networx filler on their shelves sitting next to their awards for excellence in Journolism.

It’s all about them.. and their agenda.

Jake is just one more frog in the swamp.

Golden Age of Journalism . . . proof positive that Tapper is insane. The MSM is about as popular and trusted as the local drug dealer. Lawyers are more respected than the MSM.

I have the “used car salesman” test for politicians . . . would I buy a used car from a particular politician?? If I would, I can vote for them; if not, I wouldn’t. I can’t think of a single MSM personality that I would buy a used car from because they routinely misrepresent facts . . . Golden Age of Journalism?? . . . horse $h!+

I cannot extend to him the benefit of the doubt.

I doubt he believes what he reports. I think is is a matter of reporting the way his bosses like him to report. This is an easier way to stay employed.

>>>Tapper framed himself as a voice for “basic facts, basic truth, and basic decency,” while implicitly accusing Trump of not condemning “white supremacy”<<<

Describe “White Supremacy”. Is it the same as having a group of Black Congressional Democrats form a group that excludes White People from Membership? Are they promoting Black Supremacy with their exclusion of Whites?

I used to think that Snake Slapper was somewhat fair. NO LONGER! He’s not only on board the USS Get Trump, he’s on the bridge.

All the blather condemning Trump from this shill and he does not provide one specific example of what he’s talking about, let alone any logical support from all his sweeping charges.

Yeah, some golden age of journalism. More like a golden age of leftist shills and propagandists.

How can anyone take this clown seriously?

Whoa, Jake, better check your ratings before announcing any Golden Ages. At the moment you're looking up at Pawn Stars.

There appears to be a nearly total lack of self-awareness among the ink-stained wretches - when their breathless "we've got him now" gushing over the Cohen pleas resulted in a measurable uptick in Trump's approval, that's a lot of blowback staring up at anyone who is looking.

Ever since the left got those poll numbers showing Trump’s numbers up amongst blacks....they’re really amped up the racist charges.

These thugs are delegitimizing the moral authority of the Race Card and destroying the Left’s Race Baiting brand

When you use the Racist accusation indiscriminately in attempts to destroy opponents and entire collective group of people in society who are not the least bit racist simply because we you disagree with them, people just tune out

“in the views of many people,” Jake Tapper is a lying propagandist.

Go ahead and report on that, Jake...

They allowed the government to use them as a loophole to sidestep privacy protections when seeking wiretapping warrants. They are no better than Pravda.
