CNN is scared poopless that Trump will not allow them a Whitehouse press pass. That is the Golden ticket in journalism.

Without, CNN is dead meat. It is already rotting meat, but it will be buried after this Friday.

Sorry Jake, I can’t hear you over Jimmy Acosta yelling at the President Elect.

CNN has a long history of supporting the left, they have NO credibility here. NONE.

CNN, and for that matter the media generally, should not expect business as usual. Trump is not going to beg them for attention or their affection. Second, Darwin is in play - the media will need to adapt to a POTUS that speaks DIRECTLY to the American people or not survive.

When he was in the WH Press Corpse, I thought he was one of the only ones who occasionally tried to hold the Obama Admin accountable for some things. I was sooooo disappointed when he became just another Dem political hack after he went to CNN.

Trump has turned the focus of the conversation 180 degrees. The Control-LEFT media cannot handle looking in a mirror.

The Gipper used the newer TV media to bypass the old print media. Trump bypasses all the old media by using the Internet to communicate directly with the people. Just as importantly, both of these gentlemen are delivering the right message.

How can a media fraud exposed by Wikileaks as a fake news monger “fire back” at Trump? Foolishness!

Has Jake Tapper ever explained why CNN gave the debate questions to Hillary before the debates?

Did they really think Hillary was too stupid to be able to answer the questions without cheating?

The public has a right to know.

I won’t call CNN fake News. I’ll stick with Counterfeit News Network.

Jake Tapper = dnc tool.

Wikileaks proved that.

In the past, Tapper was one of the few on CNN I would listen to.... but those days are gone.

I remember JT before, as you do.

Must have found the cult of his personality and allure of his innate brainpower too much to resist. Can happen to any daily media mouthpiece with a mic in hand. And usually does.

In some ways CNN’s reporting was worse than Buzzfeed’s. By publishing the whole so-called “dossier”, Buzzfeed allowed people to see for themselves how ludicrous the charges were, and therefore how false. CNN on the other hand, just mentioned the info, and said that the info was sourced from someone who the intelligence community previously had deemed credible. Ergo, there is no way that regular citizens wouldn’t think that there is something awful out there on Trump, and that it’s been deemed credible by our intelligence agencies. Now let people’s imagination run wild as to the info!
