Heifer aside, Jake Tapper is one of the only MSM reporters that will ask a Democrat a tough question. He is much more professional and less partisan than any other candidate for a Sunday talking head program. It would be a major victory if he should get the ABC This Week gig.
Tapper is one of “them”. He just plays his card right. He’s always invited to Press Corps parties, and if that’s the case, in good standing with Odumbo.
If Tapper was non-MSM, he would be persona non-grata with the press corps by now.
