Love Jake Tapper
Thank you for always giving us the real news every day! I especially enjoy you’re side show on Sundays where you dig deep into corruption scandals that are apart of news history. I look forward to your show at 4 pm every day!
No credibility a news outlet
Lazy reporting. Use to be decent show until they followed the Fox News playbook and lost all credibility
Jake goes to Fox!
That’s a headline that would not surprise me in the future. Been feeling for a while that Mr. Tapper’s reporting has become more or more biased. Tonight’s episode was it for me. Unfollow.
