Back in January, President Donald Trump assailed CNN as “fake news” at his first press conference as president — an insult that has apparently taken hold in the home of Philly-raised CNN anchor Jake Tapper.
But only when his 7-year-old son is mad at him.
Tapper last week told MTV’s Ana Marie Cox that his son uses the “fake news” term when the CNN host is annoying him, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
“[My son] now does an impression where whenever I’m bothering him he says, ‘fake news,’” Tapper said. Deadline reports that Tapper added that his “7-year-old knows it’s a ridiculous, childish thing.”
Trump referred to CNN as “fake news” during his first press conference as president in January, telling CNN reporter Jim Acosta, “you are fake news.” Trump also referred to BuzzFeed as a “failing pile of garbage” during that press conference.

Hmmm. Doesn’t seem like the best move for him to publicly admit even his immediate family thinks he’s fake news.

Well, you started it butthead.
If Mr. Tapper would not lie so much, he would feel better about himself and earn his sons respect.
TWB
So what Tapper’s revealing here is how much the “fake news” accusation is really getting to him.
The fact that the kid is now using it means dad’s been running around the house ranting and raving about “fake news” for about 6 weeks or so now.
Kids don’t miss a thing.
‘fake news,’” Tapper said. Deadline reports that Tapper added that his “7-year-old knows it’s a ridiculous, childish thing.”
His own child Knows it is FAKE NEWS and yes it is Ridiculous and CHildish to continue to Push your FAKE NEWS, just ask your son.
Could be a new TV Show for Jake, “Are you Smarter than a 7-Year Old”.
I really like DJT’s “failing pile of garbage” phrase — applies to 99%+ of the media.
The boy is a future Middlebury College radical cutting off freedom of thought and speech.
If my 7 year old gave me that smack, things would fall apart just as he was taking a breath for his second sentence.
You would give your child grief for telling the truth?
I don’t think so.
The kid likely doesn’t even do this. Tapper is just trying to insult our President by comparing him to a child.
In other news, Jake Tapper not smarter than a fifth grader!
If I’m a Fake Newsman, I deserve a disrespectful retort from my 7 year old.
If I’m not a Fake Newsman, I’m moving toward my 7 year old to head off the possibility that he will be a mouthy snowflake.
Out of the mouth of babes...
