If CNN’s show The Lead With Jake Tapper were a dinner party, you’d cancel it because so many guests bailed out. Just look at the viewership numbers. Tapper’s weekday show, which was just expanded to two hours in April has already lost 75% of its viewers. Worse, the viewership shrunk by 49% from the first to the second quarter of this year. Wait, the news gets even worse – or better, depending on your point of view – than that. Fox News reports that losing 3/4 of the audience is bad enough, but in the crucial demographic 25-54, CNN’s viewership...

It really takes some balls to, er, I mean guts, to show your face again after being caught on a company Zoom call pleasuring yourself. Most people wouldn’t do it, but then most people wouldn’t feel the need to drop trou in the middle of a work event and take care of business, then actually do it in that same room. If people did, they’d likely be smart enough to leave the room with the camera attached to the computer on which they’d just been talking to everyone they work with only moments before the frisky coffee break. Then again,...

CNN's Jake Tapper has slammed colleague Chris Cuomo for joining strategy calls advising his brother Gov. Andrew Cuomo on how to respond to sexual harassment allegations. Tapper - who is widely seen as CNN's biggest star - told the New York Times that Chris' behavior put network employees in 'a bad spot'. 'I cannot imagine a world in which anybody in journalism thinks that that was appropriate,' the 52-year-old anchor stated in an interview conducted on Friday.

VIDEOTim Graham of Newsbusters highlighted a recent quote by Jake Tapper in which he claimed that he sees his "role as not particularly opinionated." Really, Jake? Okay, if you say so. Therefore the DUmmie FUnnies features a few clips of the "not particularly opinionated" Jake Tapper.

Joe Scarborough just told President Hillary Clinton, Governor Stacey Abrams and his fellow conspiracy theorists in the mainstream media that they should leave the country. I wonder how this sexist and racist advice will go over with his fans. During the MSNBC host’s most recent unhinged tirade, he made very good points - just not the ones he intended to make. **SNIP** Rather than discuss the onslaught of antisemitic attacks happening in Joe Biden’s America, the price of gasoline or the jobs report, “Morning Joe” had other topics to discuss. He and his panel of head nodders spent most of...

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will not be able to block President Joe Biden’s agenda because he was a”miserable failure” at his stated goal of making former President Barack Obama a one-term president. In a video, McConnell said, “100% of my focus is standing up to this administration. What we have in the United States Senate is total unity from Susan Collins to Ted Cruz in opposition to what the new Biden administration is trying to do to this country.” Anchor Jake Tapper said,...

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that if the Republican Party removes Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from her leadership role, it would be “classic cancel culture.” Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Let’s talk about the big lie which you just brought up and what’s happening across the aisle in the House. Republicans are set to remove Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney from her leadership role because of her refusal to spread President Trump’s big lie that the election was stolen. These inarguably more conservative than Elise Stefanik poised to replace her. It seems to...

There’s too hot for TV and then there’s too wrong for Tapper. The anchor of CNN’s two-hour mid-afternoon show “The Lead” suggested to his colleagues Tuesday that he would bar Republicans from appearing if they were “not willing to stick to standards and facts.” “How am I supposed to believe anything they say?” Tapper asked “New Day” hosts John Berman and Brianna Keilar. “If they’re willing to lie about Joe Biden wanting to steal your hamburgers and QAnon and the Big Lie about the election, what are they not willing to lie about? Why should I put any of them...

Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” called Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) “a woman of strength and conscience.” Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Let’s turn to the state of the Republican Party. Your fellow Republican Senator Mitt Romney, who I believe is a friend of yours, he was booed by delegates at the Utah Republican Convention yesterday. What was your reaction when you saw the clip of the vote for him being booed and the close vote to censure him?” Collins said, “I was appalled. Mitt Romney is an outstanding senator who served his state and our...

Former National Security Adviser John Bolton said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that while President Donald Trump has blood on his hands, the 25th Amendment should not be invoked to remove him from office because it could create a dispute causing there to be two presidents. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Let me just ask you, do you think President Trump has blood on his hands?”

CNN anchor Jake Tapper blasted Republicans on his Sunday talking head show State of the Union for organizing a challenge to Biden electors for Wednesday’s joint session of Congress to certify the votes of the Electoral College. Tapper threw out words like sedition, coup and traitors to describe the effort by Republicans to ensure the 2020 presidential election was legitimate. Tapper said he had invited all twelve Republican senators who have said they will challenge Biden electors and that all had declined or did not respond when asked to appear on State of the Union. Tapper cited a Civil War...

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany blasted Jake Tapper after the CNN anchor claimed he refuses to have her on his show because she “lies all the time.” McEnany’s comments were prompted by a segment in which Tapper found a safe space with his intellectually stunted colleague, Brian Stelter, on the show “Reliable Sources,” a misnomer if ever there was one. Stelter being the friendly purveyor of false information in a network known for false information allowed the opportunity for Tapper to open up. There “were some people who were just so mendacious I just wouldn’t put them on air,”...

This year was a disaster in just about every respect, but nothing compares to the overall disaster that is the media. Informing the public and seeking the truth took a backseat to agenda pushing and straight-up advocacy. While everyone in the media soiled themselves this year, to one degree or another, some people are just so awful they deserve special recognition.Joy Reid. Liberals fail up. There’s really no other explanation as to why this conspiracy theorist who only takes a break from lying to would get a new show on MSNBC. The fraud who lied about her blog being hacked...

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Sunday on “Reliable Sources” that he will not book White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany on his shows because she tells lies the way most people breathe. Tapper said, “There are some people that are just so mendacious, I just wouldn’t put them on air. Kayleigh McEnany, I never booked her. Jason Miller from the Trump campaign, I would never book him. I mean, these are people who just — they just tell lies the way that, you know, most people breathe. There was no value in that.”

If Joe Biden were serious about unifying the country, he would condemn the voices in his own party demanding to punish their political opponents. Former Vice President Joe Biden delivered a victory speech Saturday night calling for national unity, insisting the country to move past partisan divides to new heights.“With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation,” Biden said celebrating his media-declared victory. “It’s time for Americans to unite. And to heal.”True to form, however, Biden cast no blame on the loudest voices within his own...

CNN’s Jake Tapper joined the growing list of media elites and Democrats (but I repeat myself) calling for Trump staffers to be blacklisted. Tapper is using a blacklist threat to try and convince Trump staffers to stop contesting the disputed 2020 election. He’s not even hiding it. “I truly sympathize with those dealing with losing — it’s not easy,” the far-left CNNLOL anchor tweeted Monday, adding, “but at a certain point one has to think not only about what’s best for the nation (peaceful transfer of power) but how any future employers might see your character defined during adversity.” Joseph...

CNN anchor Jake Tapper objected to President Trump returning to campaign rallies claiming, “It’s like he’s trying to kill off his own supporters.” The comments came after Tapper and his panel discussed an alleged “complete recklessness, irresponsibility by President Trump and his campaign.” The CNN personality began by linking the President’s rallies to the death of Herman Cain, though even he admits “there’s no definitive proof.” “But when you look at the timeline,” Tapper insists, combined with public health experts telling him that “it’s completely consistent with the idea of Cain getting the virus” at Trump’s Tulsa rally in June....

Biden evades “Court Packing” question @FoxNews  Because his puppet masters are willing to destroy the U.S. Supreme Court. Don’t let this, and so many other really bad things, happen. VOTE! https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1315341383964610562   

1) Why does Biden make the false claims that a SCOTUS confirmation during an election year is unconstitutional? 2) Why does Biden refuses to answer questions on court packing? watch exchange...
