Why can’t all reporters be like Jake Tapper?

If I'm not mistaken, that's a 0.003% savings. If one of my employees came to me with that as a cost reduction effort, I'd fire them immediately.

They could reduce some of the duplication by getting rid of all the Czars. Maybe getting rid of all the political appointments that don’t actually do anything would help.
