Twitter Highlights of Jake Tapper going DEEP in the tank. [ArthurK]
(This all went down March 3rd, Saturday)
Sandra Fluke acknowledges a TV interview with Jake Tapper. (9:47 pst)
Thank you to @jaketapper @ABCWorldNews for giving me a chance to speak. (interview) #WeWillNotBeSilenced
(After a twitter-storm Ace wonders why Tapper doesn't respond )
funny, @jaketapper often responds to me. (13:52)
Jake Tapper responds.
@AceofSpadesHQ if you have issues with her testimony, take them up with her. if you have issues with what Rush said, take it up with him. (14:04)
Ace is gobsmacked .
@jaketapper gee, Jake, I just wish there was someone being paid by a media organization who just interviewed her who had a chance to ask!! (14:04)
Kevin chimes in.
@AceofSpadesHQ @jaketapper I think he just asked you to do his job for him. (14:0
@SimonTemplarPV sums it up
.@jaketapper to @AceofSpadesHQ: "if Fluke's lying her ass off, take it up with her. Don't look at me I'm just a journalist interviewing her" (14:20)
and this
I mean @sandrafluke is not an expert on anything, and her statistics are preposterous. Just let it slide? @AceofSpadesHQ @jaketapper (14:52)
Ace concludes
If only there were some profession whose primary goal is to investigate and confirm claims made in a public policy debate. @jaketapper (14:1My gripe is not that Tapper didn't ask questions - but that he said it wasn't his job to ask questions. My conclusion is... He CAN'T question her. Otherwise he'd get the Limbaugh treatment!
This is a black day for American Journalism. Also, I tweet at @ComradeArthur

Jake Tapper is no great reporter, but he seemed to have just a shred of integrity, and sometimes even asked tough questions. That he was unable to think of a series of intelligent questions to ask a neophyte like Fluke isn't just suspect -- it's laughable.

Caruso looks down at his feet, sunglasses off. "Doesn't hate concern you?" he asks the DA, burning with quiet righteousness.
"Of course it does," she answers.
"Good," he says, and then inevitably puts on the sunglasses and looks up. "Because hate should concern us all.""

My gripe is not that Tapper didn't ask questions - but that he said it wasn't his job to ask questions.
It's not. No one in the media/press is required to do anything. They never were. The press in America have never been much of a positive contribution to society. We accept that. They aren't supposed to spill national secrets like a Russian super-spy ... but we seem to have accepted that, too.

Of course, that leaves the "captured propaganda organ fuckstick" half for us to bash.
This is one of the larger strategies of "press propaganda," of course, the "question unasked."
Does anyone know if Tapper was a Hillaryite in 2008? That would explain why he asked a few "tough questions" of Obama for the first couple of years, before he surrendered to the inevitable.

And Tapper can't be bothered to ask Fluke about the background she misrepresented, that she's a professional political insider and not J. Random Coed?
To Tapper, this all makes perfect sense. Because he is so inured to the corruption of the system that it's like a second skin.
An oily, dripping, foetid second skin.
It's so much his nature now, he wonders why everyone else is backing away and holding their noses.

I had a similar exchange with reporter Dave Delozier, Denver TV. Channel 9 I think. He gave an excited, glowing report at the auto show about one auto only. The Volt, which he called the "all-electric Chevy Volt". I emailed and asked him how the hell he called a car with gas engine "all-electric". He informed me that the GM people told him to call it that.
I answered, "Are you a reporter or a shill for GM?" No answer back.

Just look at Tapper's career:
In 1992, Tapper was a campaign press secretary for Democratic congressional candidate Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky (PA-13) and later served as her congressional press secretary. Tapper worked in public relations for Powell Tate, a Washington, D.C., public affairs firm run by Democrat Jody Powell and Republican Sheila Tate. He also worked briefly for Handgun Control Inc. (now the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence) in 1997. After writing many freelance stories, Tapper began his journalism career full time as a senior writer for the Washington City Paper from 1998 to 1999 and wrote about his experience going on a date with Monica Lewinsky in 1998 for that publication, in a story that skewered Washington's culture of scandal. He was the Washington correspondent for Salon.com from 1999 to 2002, where he was an early questioner of the Bush administration's claims about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction. He has also contributed to GQ, The Weekly Standard, NPR's All Things Considered, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. In 2001 he hosted a TV show on CNN called Take Five in which young journalists and commentators discussed politics and pop culture. In 2002 he hosted a series of entertainment news specials on VH1 and in 2003 he hosted shows focused on independent film on the Sundance Channel. ABC News hired him in 2003. Tapper has been a frequent guest on the Imus in the Morning radio program.
He is the author of the books Down and Dirty: The Plot to Steal the Presidency on the 2000 Presidential election and Body Slam: The Jesse Ventura Story.
His comic strip Capitol Hell appeared in Roll Call from 1994 to 2003. He has also contributed cartoons to the American Spectator magazine, the Los Angeles Times, and The Philadelphia Inquirer. In 2006, he married Jennifer Marie Brown of St. Joseph, Missouri, who was a regional field manager in Washington, D.C. for Planned Parenthood Federation.
On July 6, 2009, former MSNBC television personality Dan Abrams launched a website service, Mediaite, reporting on media figures. The site ranks all TV-based journalists in America by influence. Tapper ranks, as of December 2010, at number one.
Tapper was considered one of the leading candidates to replace George Stephanopoulos as anchor of This Week. Stephanopoulos took over for Diane Sawyer, co-host of Good Morning America, when she assumed the role as anchor of World News. However, CNN's Christiane Amanpour was selected instead. Tapper served as the interim anchor until Amanpour took over the show on August 1, 2010.

1. Ms. Frum, according to reports before you testified you were a 23 year old college student from Georgetown. However our research indicates that you are actually 30, and that the only reason you joined Georgetown was to challenge there policy on providing birth control coverage. Do you consider yourself a student, or an activist? Also, doesn't this taint your testimony before congress?
2. Ms. Frum, your claims that you spend on average $1,000 a year on birth control are obviously exaggerated and outrageous. Do you realize that under title 18 lying or misleading congress, even if your not testifying under oath, is a crime? Do you believe you should go to jail for these distortions, since you've obviously broken the law?

Look at Fast & Furious: greatest and most far-reaching scandal in modern American history, a Watergate with bodycount. No Republican president could hope to survive such a bloody debacle. Look at Solyndra. Look at LightSquared. Those journalists who chose their profession in order to speak truth to power have been subverted and suborned, co-opted and corrupted. We're on our own.

Ok, do these slowly...if you get any unusual pain, stop.
Sitting up tall in a chair, with your arms hanging down, grab the bottom of the chairseat with your right hand on the right side and slowly tilt your left ear toward your left shoulder. You should resist the stretch with your right hand. Hold for about 10 seconds and then bring your head slowly back up.
Next, while still holding on with your right hand, lower your head toward your left armpit. Hold and then bring your head back slowly.
Repeat on other side with your left hand holding the bottom of your chairseat.

When the furthest right of the available media, like FOX and Tapper are merely SLUTS, not WHORES who at least get paid, but SLUTS who service the Lyin kING out of pleasure or fear, few remedies are left to Patriots who prefer to live within the guarantees of freedom the Constitution outlines!

But they're friendly / pedestrian with Democrats, and hostile to Republicans.
The point here is that they DO ask a lot of questions of the "other side" (us), often hostile and misleading, and they play softball with the left.
Tapper helped Fluke get her propaganda out, period, and did not ask about misleading or incorrect information she put out THAT HE KNEW ABOUT.
Imagine that happening with O'Keefe. Not hard to see the difference. And it's all day, every day.

subvert my First Amendment rights. It's funny how name calling is so
much worse, in some people's eyes, than what she is doing. She chose to
attend Georgetown because it is a Catholic school and does not pay for
contraception specifically so she could challenge the policy. You have a
lot of choices in this world, where you go to school, whether or not
you use contraception, whether or not you want to birth a child once it
is conceived, which job to take...It sure would be a shame if Catholics were denied their freedom to worship as they see fit.

Tapper helped Fluke get her propaganda out, period, and did not ask
about misleading or incorrect information she put out THAT HE KNEW
ABOUT."*
Of course they want to get her message out and why would you think the correct information means anything to anybody? I could point out a half dozen factual errors by every journalist in print or on TV damn near every freak'n day. Ninety percent of the time it isn't because they're pushing some agenda, it's because they're fucking stupid. And as for being "hostile" to Republicans, no shit Sherlock, but that doesn't make them smart. It doesn't mean these journalist go into interviews with a list of factual incorrect information to catch every GOP politician in some lie, it just doesn't happen. And in the off chance it does happen, no one ever follows ups in the same interview.

He's figuring, "Why should I lose my job over this? You have blogs and shit, you do it. I got kids to feed. Fuck you."
That is about the most charitable take on it, I think.

Journolist.
It fucking well does happen, they share talking points and press their agenda.
Oh, it doesn't happen *every* time, and sure, some of them are pretty dumb.
But you're doing the Republican thing - giving the benefit of the doubt to people who stab you in the back over and over and over and over.

Over and over, the far left /journo cabal confesses in small or large ways to wanting to push you and me off the map (just go back to journolist, the press corps private briefings with Obama's campaign, any of the big NYT / MSNBC / CNN insider dealings or crazy op/eds).
It's Evan Sayet's old "no, they don't really mean that
delusion.
Yes, they mean what they say.

"Journolist.

And how. I don't know if you caught, for example, the Sheriff Arpaio newsstream about the Obama BC forgery last week, but I caught the end of it during Q and A. The questions were not of a forensic nature about their discovery, no. They were attacking Arpaio and his Posse. It was quite amusing in a perverse sort of way. SOP from the institution we so dearly "love." The herd was a chorus coming at it just like we'd expect them to.

the media by the Democrats and their handlers on the hard Left. But
recently I have come to the conclusion that it is entirely possible.
Perhaps likely.
Don't go paranoid.
It doesn't take a conspiracy or control.
Just a common set of beliefs and reactions.
It's not just a Fluke that they flock to the left they're just a flucking bunch of lefties.

to the extent the media will admit they're left-leaning it's in these types of terms. "well yes, we do lean left, but that is because our cosmopolitan, worldly readership could never subscribe to those backward right-wing views"

To interview her.

Regarding the Carbonite guy, whining that Fluke could be his daughter is bullshit. She's going to be 31 years old in a month. She's no little kid. She was acting as a political activist and she is a fucking liar. What respect does she show to the American people when she lies her ass off?

"Since you have ended your affiliation with the Rush Limbaugh show in a public manner on a fallacious premise, be advised that I will not patronize your business as I had intended, and I will urge my friends and family to do the same. I doubt that you will find the non-productive class in this country will compensate for the loss of customers arising from this decision."

I disagree. George Stephanopolos completely out-of-the-blue reference to contraceptives in the GOP primary debate a few months ago was not an act of psychic prescience. The Democrats have highly trained, extremely intelligent and well-paid people whose sole job it is to guide and manipulate messaging in accordance with Obama Administration (and now Obama campaign) goals. It was a setup from the beginning, a way to divert attention away from substantive economic and foreign policy issues and into the Foggy Bottom of culture war and social conservativism, a gray area where emotions, not reason, prevails. The Obama Administration must keep people from thinking at all costs, otherwise they might notice what's actually going on: loss of freedom, runaway (and mostly hidden) inflation, soaring energy prices, all of it.
Sometimes there is a conspiracy and it isn't paranoid to notice it.

Exactly.
The problem is not that they just don't wish to see, they look away when it's staring them right in the face and pissing on their shoes.
I was told by Patterico that it was IRRELEVANT that Jake Tappers wife
was/is the regional director of Planned Parenthood!!
Gee, I wonder why old Jake might have gone a little soft ballee on Fluke.
We will simply not win with this strategy of playing nice.
Playing nice has gotten us a Barack Hussein Obama and a 16 Trillion Dollar deficit.

We actually have a strategy? Could've fooled me. I thought we were just supposed to react blindly, foolishly, and predictably to every orchestrated meme Obama's people send down the pike.
Country's on the precipice, ready to spiral into disaster? Hey, I know, let's talk about contraception.

Most people look back at Joseph Goebbels and his total domination of the German media and laugh.. How could people allow that to happen? Why did people go along with it? The Germans must have been sheep.
Haha.. well, now we know exactly how the Germans allowed it to happen. Its occurred here, and reached levels of absurdity that I never thought possible.. and NOBODY IS SAYING ANYTHING.. (except us, of course)
The Germans had the threat of violence hanging over their head in the early 30's when this occurred.. we don't... yet. If people said the Germans were sheep, then what does that make the average joe who accepts the shit sandwiches served up to them every day? Retarded sheep.
It HAS happened here. Now we know why Germany was brainwashed. Half of us are full on zombies already. I just can't get over how members of the media can breathlessly report stories like this with a straight face. It sickens me so much its unbearable. Breitbart had a heart attack for this very reason I bet. The media is so absurd it just makes you angry as hell. I myself cannot stand it anymore. I just don't see this continuing for very long. The whole thing is so absurd!
Tapper asking that garbage with a straight face? Dude, its your job jerk. How is this happening? I don't get it. Its invasion of the body snatchers

It's like we've thrown towels over our heads.

But back then, we had multiple voices, presenting different points of view. Readers could compare and contrast.
Now, there is one voice, one point of view. It is presented relentlessly. No dissent is allowed. And that bias defends its monopoly by calling itself "objective".
