Yes America, he said it! Tapper’s past pokes at Trump renew CNN bias concerns on eve of debate

“They don’t even want you to see Jake Tapper’s past,” Sean Spicer said.

With CNN anchors Jake Tapper and Dana Bash set to moderate the first presidential debate on Thursday, the network and other Biden-friendly media have attempted to brush aside some of their prior comments indicating a bias against former President Donald Trump. But Tapper’s on-air record is extensive and the campaign sees good reason for Trump to not expect even-handed treatment.

The Trump campaign agreed to the debate after publicly negotiating the affair with President Joe Biden through a string of social media posts. The Republican camp has suggested that Trump expects to fight an uphill battle, with the moderators propping up Biden, and that he would nonetheless deliver his intended message during the debate.

That narrative has not sat well with the network, however, and CNN anchor Kasie Hunt this week ended an interview with Trump National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt over her comments highlighting Tapper’s prior statements about Trump.

“President Trump is knowingly going into a hostile environment on this very network, on CNN, with debate moderators who have made their opinions about him very well known over the past eight years and their biased coverage of him,” Leavitt said during the interview.

As if Bash hasn’t bashed Trump too, on numerous occasions.

She probably hates him even more than Tapper does.

Wouldn’t it be great if Trump got a favorable decision on immunity today.

Does Biden still consider Obama as the first mainstream African American that is bright, articulate and CLEAN. or does Biden denounce saying that?

Trump should ask Tappy what it’s like to have some viewers for a change.

Trump should use the debate with every question direct it to the camera and the American people just like Reagan did, not at joe or the commie moderators. That will piss them off

Why would Trump agree to the terms presented by those yellow journalists?
I would have laughed in their face.

That’s nothing. The other moderator (D Bash) is married to one of the 51 intel agents who published the false letter about Hunter’s laptop before the 2020 election.
