CNN's Jake Tapper exposes their bias during 2016 Election coverage "we need to win these states"
youtube ^ | 2016

Watch the short clip from election night. Tapper actually caught saying "we need" these states and quickly changing it to "Hillary needs."

Our side should be consistently using terms as they do by saying left-wing journalist Jake Tapper, Democrat supporting journalist Chuck Todd, etc. They need to be labeled.

No question about it. Also I bet he donated to the dimoKKKRATS.

It was a sad little Jake who finally had to admit on election night that there was no path...for Hillary

CNN really is a thug network.

Trump is making them look like the Comedy News Network. They’re a joke.

Great catch. Have not seen this. President Trump and his allies should reference this often. Thanks

Not just the news anchors, we need to concentrate on combatting the false info put out by Yahoo and MSN home pages - where users are a captive audience because this is where they get their email. Users see the fake news published daily in a prominent position by the administrators of these sites. Headlines such as Russians make secret payment to Flynn and It’s costing millions more to protect Trump than Obama. Over time, headlines such as these can be very damaging and I hope Trump’s people fight back. This is very demoralizing to users of these sites when they see this day after day and the demoralizing effect builds up.

The bottom line - Tapper and Chuck Todd are not journalists, they are pundits no different than Hannity. However, they refuse to release their mantle of journalists even as they live out the lie for all of us to see.

CNN is a network full of pundits masquerading as journalist.

This is the way to address them - they are very dishonest about who they are and that is what exposes their journalism as a very dishonest exercise.

Thanks for posting that. Election night was memorable for sure. I didn’t watch CNN but I did watch FOX, and I will always remember that stunned and frozen look on Barbie Girl Kelly’s face when Brett Baier announced Trump had carried PA and the election. Ah, what a great memory.

The only way they win if they lie... otherwise it’s easy to see through them.

Gwen Ifil got bumped from ABC to NPR for saying the same thing.

Why is Jake still at CNN?

Thanks for pointing this out. I wish the next time that Trump holds a press conference and answers a question from Jake Tapper, he reminds Jake and the rest of the press corps that Jake says “We need to win” not once but twice in this video clip during the 2016 election night coverage. He also had to correct himself two times by saying “Hillary needs” twice. One time might be a slip of the tongue but two times within one minute shows his bias. The press might not understand what Trump means by fake news and leaks. But if he uses the word bias, everybody watching the press conference will understand his meaning.

I think that’s the day he aged 10 years.

Spicer should play the clip at every press conference before CNN is allowed to ask a question.
