>A chorus of criticism erupted Sunday evening over a televised phone interview between CNN’s Jake Tapper and President Donald Trump, an interview that some described as “pathetic.”
>Calling into CNN’s “State of the Union,” Trump appeared to dictate much of the interview after refusing to answer certain questions, and with little pushback from Tapper.
>Tapper also let stand what appeared to be the president’s reference to billionaire David Ellison’s impending takeover of the network, which analysts suspect may push CNN’s coverage in a direction more favorable to the Trump administration.
>“We would love to have you back sometime ‘cause I do have a lot of other questions for you, sir,” Tapper said as the interview concluded.
>“Sure. We’ll do that, we’ll do that. We’re trying to have CNN go on a normal path, and we’ll do that,” Trump responded.
>Tapper then insisted he was “on a normal path right here, sir,” before thanking the president for “calling in” and telling him “I appreciate your time.”
>Critics did not mince words with their condemnation of Tapper’s performance.
>“This is just embarrassing,” wrote journalist and former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan in a social media post on X.
>“God Jake Tapper is so pathetic,” wrote Keith Orejel, an assistant professor at Wilmington College in Ohio, in a social media post on X.
Tapper earns millions for doing a terrible job, he sees the writing on the wall regarding CNN and will do absolutely anything to keep his cushy job.
As long as Jake Tapper and Scott Jennings remain at CNN I refuse to watch
We need a book about Tapper’s cowardice – which like his own recent book, hardly anyone will read, but would be more relevant than his book
Great example for his daughter. /s
I don’t understand how people can totally compromise their principles for money, 180° turnaround. Tapper and Graham are the prime examples this week. How would you feel about yourself when you woke up in the morning, well I guess I’ll go be a lying asshole today but I’ll be comfortable in my $1,000 shoes.
Jake Tapper has questioned Biden’s mental acuity, but not Trump’s mental deterioration.
Proof that media can easily be bought.
Jake Tapper has zero credibility.
Tapper led the Biden is senile movement but when Trump comes on he’s like “I’d just like to add you’re more handsome everyday”
“Sir”
Tapper is horrible, one of several reasons I stopped watching CNN.
When is Tapper’s book on Trump’s health coming out?
We need to get that guy from Family Guy to follow him around and call him a great big phony.
