CNN's Jake Tapper is one of the most well-known television journalists in the US.
Tapper values truth, transparency, honesty, and kindness, according to interviews. He's naturally skeptical and, to remain neutral, he doesn't vote.
Politico says he could be the best current television interviewer in the US.
He grew up in a Philadelphia "hippy" household, but one focused on what was right and wrong.
After three years he left Washington City Paper to become the Washington Correspondent for Salon. His editor at the time Joan Walsh said it was clear that he wasn't ideologically driven.
Tapper's wife says her husband isn't too hard to explain. He's honest and truthful and gets mad when other people aren't.
The day after the 2008 presidential election, Tapper was named ABC's senior White House correspondent.
From 2015 on, he's become one of CNN's go-to election debate hosts. In 2016, he asked then-presidential candidate Donald Trump 23 times whether comments he made about a federal judge were racist.
According to Vogue, this was when "it began" for Tapper. It wasn't until Trump entered the ring that Tapper began to come into his own and become a "viral sensation."
In February 2017, he had his now-infamous interview with Kellyanne Conway. What was scheduled to be a 10 minute interview ran for 25 minutes without breaks. He took on Conway about CNN's coverage of terrorism, false reports on murder rates in the US, and an entirely made-up massacre. He listed inaccurate statements made by Trump and said "false" after every one of them.
In 2019, he moderated the second Democratic presidential debate and was criticized for his relentless observing of time restrictions.
Since Trump became president, Tapper's said he's been reminded a journalist's job is to take a stand over facts, truth, and human decency.

“He’s better than most of the CNN clowns but a “champion of truth”?”
OK, but Tapper is still a certified A$$hole! A slightly better A$$hole than the other CNN A$$holes.
Not sure about the first two but I have serious issues with truth thing.
Jake is a goofy assclown.
