I think if Hoffman wins NY23, McDonnell wins in Virginia and Christie wins in NJ, we're going see a bunch of "Journalists" suddenly grow a spine. Like rats off a sinking ship.....
I used to think Jake Tapper was a reflexive liberal but then I saw him cover the 2008 Presidential campaign. He was one of the few asking tough questions of Obama and Hillary. And then when ABC “tapped” him to cover the White House I was very happy because I knew he wouldn’t bend over like his colleagues.
I like Jake Tapper and Matt Lauer because they as tough on the Democrats as they are on the Republicans. It’s like they reside in “no man’s land”. There aren’t that many reporters like that (besides the ones working on Fox, but thats a given).
