‘editorial discretion’
...............................

LOL so that’s what they’re calling it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Jake Tapeworm.

[FlipWilson]

Claimed? No, it’s a fact Jake.

Jake Tapper? Isn’t he the guy who covered for Biden and then wrote a book slamming the coverup?

[cgbg]

This “frivolous” lawsuit could lead to discovery documents that would be stunning....

and that is why Redstone wants to settle and settle quickly.

[cgbg]

Tapper’s lying about Biden was that “editorial independence” we hear so much about...

Lol.

[butterdezillion]

Somebody should use their “editorial discretion” to get Jake Tapper to say he screws kittens.

See how he likes them peaches.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Real pathological liars like Tapper repeat their lies until they themselves believe them to be fact.

It is a genuine pathology. A mental illness. Unfortunately, their pathologies are not benign. Nor are they harmful only to themselves.

[hal ogen]

I thought that was known to be true.

[cgbg]

Tapper thinks reporters should be able to make up lies and slander with zero accountability.

[BrexitBen]

60 Minutes is the cornerstone of See-BS.

[butterdezillion]

Oh, dang. You mean I have to come up with something even more vile to use as an example?

I don’t think I’m up to the task. lol

I’ve been sick today and a lot of stuff has been bending me out of shape so I’ve used language today that I usually don’t. If I have to do worse than I just said I’m gonna have a real problem.

It was just a week or so ago a woman from the Trump administration (Agriculture Secretary?) referred to Jake as being from the left and he incredulously denied that and then she laughed at him for even questioning it. lol

[Red Badger]

Newspeak...............

[IncPen]

“Owens, 58, had been the executive producer of the CBS news magazine since 2019, but told staff in a memo on Tuesday that he has come to realize he is no longer able 'to make independent decisions based on what was right for 60 Minutes, right for the audience' amid the president's $20 billion lawsuit against the network, the New York Times reports.”

The jig was up. Owens could no longer defend the lies.

Trump effect.

[cgbg]

If you pay close attention to most of the stories about the administration they are based on anonymous sources.

Without knowing those sources and their reliability and/or axes to grind it is impossible to evaluate the credibility of the reporting.

That is one reason that reporters get used to having zero accountability.

[cpdiii]

'And it seems as if Shari Redstone is likely to bend the knee to Trump and settle this allegedly frivolous lawsuit,' Tapper told his audience.

Shari Redstone had a long talk with the CBS lawyers and was advised to "Settle now under the best terms you can negotiate or go to court and lose your whole ass instead of just half your ass if you settle now. You will lose."

[Bullish]

Tapper would have already had Trump marched out to a firing squad a long time ago.
