Jake Tapper is a bit of sunshine in the darkness at CNN

Democrats make a statement, however false,  of accusation against President Trump or any conservative and the anti-Trump press publishes those words; they then become revealed "truth" to be quoted over and over by TV talking heads and on posters at anti-conservative gatherings.

Smackdown: Jake Tapper calls out Democrat Ted Lieu for lying about Trump and coronavirus  "It's like some sanity has returned, at least a little.
"Which is why Tapper's stinkeye to the
whole matter was so welcome."
"For all the sludge of lies about President Trump and his preparations for coronavirus, modeled in part on the Democrats' Katrina template which damaged President Bush, Jake Tapper of all people stepped in and shut leftist Rep. Ted Lieu up. Tapper commented:
In his questions for @SecPompeo, Rep. @tedlieu
said Mick "Mulvaney told the Conservative Political Action Conference that the coronavirus was the hoax of the day." That's not what Mulvaney said.
. . . Mulvaney said at CPAC today that 5-6 weeks ago, the admin. held coronavirus briefings on the Hill and only 5 senators & 10-15 congressmen showed up. He attacked the media for covering impeachment: “We were dealing with it. The press was covering their hoax of the day.” . . .This thread continues...


"Which was an unexpectedly welcome smackdown, given that the press and its Democrat allies have gone all in to create a truly phony narrative suggesting that President Trump considers the coronavirus outbreak "a hoax." When President Trump, and his lieutenants such as acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, have used the term, they explicitly stated that the Democratic claims that Trump was either unprepared or doing nothing about coronavirus were the hoax. Which they were." . . .

I have always respected Jake Tapper as a serious journalist and once wrote him about leaving CNN. One can suppose that, just as an actor in a terrible movie can be damaged goods for his future, Mr. Tapper be associated with the yellow journalism that is CNN.
