Jake Clapper: I Don't Know A Single Thing That Anyone in the Media Got Wrong in the Russia Hoax

What a stupid dishonest cuck, parroting every corporate propaganda claim Jeff Zucker whispers in his ear.

CNN State of the Union host Jake Tapper poses as a Just the Facts Man, but his command of the facts vanished on Sunday. When Trump's chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said the " media got it wrong for so long" speculating on collusion in the Mueller investigation, Tapper offered the spit take that "I'm not sure what you're saying the media got wrong....Other than the people in the media on the left, not on this network, I don't know anybody who got anything wrong."

I think he's trying to throw Rachel Maddow under the bus with that "other than people in the media on the left" line. (What, Jake? CNN isn't on the left? Are you joking?)

Glenn Greenwald, Jimmy Dore, Michael Tracy and other leftwing Russia skeptics have predicted this move from the media, that they would claim that it was all Rachel Maddow's doing.

Blaming it all on a lesbian woman? How problematic. Why the cis white het privilege, Jake!

While Rachel Maddow was the worst, all of these people were doing the the same thing -- and they shouldn't be permitted to claim one single media figure is the scapegoat they'll sacrifice to absolve the tribe.

And note, he won't even name her in his scapegoating effort.

NewsBusters then notes all the oopsies CNN was guilty of, starting with:

On the facts, Tapper should at least know about CNN's whoppers, especially ones with his name on them. Let's recall Washington Post media blogger Erik Wemple noting Tapper and three others wrongly predicted what former FBI director James Comey would tell Congress that he didn't reassure Trump he wasn't under investigation. "CNN assigned four reporters to inaccurately predict testimony that was coming in a matter of hours." Wemple called that "stupid news."

Or:

Or CNN screwing up the dates on a WikiLeaks email to Donald Trump Jr. After hours of breathless hype smearing the president's son, CNN issued an on-air correction read by Manu Raju. The reporters however, faced no disciplinary action because, according to a spokewoman, they “followed the editorial standards process."

More examples at the link.



Check out this thread to see some of the more deranged proclamations from Rachel Maddow's mentor, Keith Olbermann.

No one talks about this brokedown old lunatic anymore, but it's worth remembering some of the deranged claims he made.

By the way, Maddow is still just making things up, and just like the supposed Fake News Exposers at CNN refused to call her out for the last two years, they will continue refusing to call her out.

Fake news and conspiracy theories aren't bad as long as they animated the Democrat base.

50 Not sure citing idiots like Greenwald et al actually helps the point any.


The point stands on its own. It's not just that the media "got it wrong" - that grossly under- and mis-states the problem.


The entire thing, from the get-go, was obviously ridiculous, and was debunked by common sense, universally known facts, and a tiny bit of thinking.


For those needing others' help, a handful of online analysts and Cong. Nunes debunked every element of everything very quickly.


And until the appointment of a special counsel contrary to statute and regulations (no predicate crime), and the FISA and counter-intel abuse and crimes are fully aired and prosecuted, the scandal *continues* to grow.

I can sorta see what Fapper's getting at since it was their intent to completely and totally fabricate a lie to try to get PDT thrown out of office. So, they really didn't get anything wrong because they were lying from the beginning. They never stopped and still haven't. And apparently have no intention of stopping lying.

If only that was all. The Conservative Media Ecosystem™ is slavishly devoted to Tapper. It's like a HS girl crushing on the quarterback. It's unseemly.

Every single impulse these people have to cuck out for the Left is amplified by an order of magnitude when Jake Tapper's in play.

Mika defended Biden today calling his antics "being too flirtatious and affectionate"


Yeah, Meggie Mac and the crones on The View defended him, too. Meggie: "I've known him forever.....blah....blah....blah...." and "Don't sent me tweets and emails!" she yelled at the television audience.

99 Solid bet. TV news anchor is the profession with the lowest intelligence.

Again I have to plug Broadcast News with William Hurt, Albert Brooks, and Holly Hunter. Exactly what that movie is about. The dumb pretty guy who's good on camera gets ahead while the hard working smart investigative reporter loses the girl to him and doesn't get promoted.

I know you care about him. I've never seen you like this about anyone, so please don't take it wrong when I tell you that I believe that Tom, while a very nice guy, is the Devil.

What do you think the Devil is going to look like if he's around? Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long, red, pointy tail. No. I'm semi-serious here. He will look attractive and he will be nice and helpful and he will get a job where he influences a great God-fearing nation and he will never do an evil thing... he will just bit by little bit lower standards where they are important. Just coax along flash over substance... Just a tiny bit. And he will talk about all of us really being salesmen. And he'll get all the great women.

Given that he's not talking about reporting the truth of anything, but in sticking to Teh Narrative That Trump Must Go, then yeah, nobody in Progda dared to stray from it for a nanosecond.

Psychos tend to concoct pretty extravagant excuses for their actions and tend to talk about their own things inside their heads, not any outer truth. We're seeing this in action. Sad.

110 I disagree that "Maddow is the worst."

She's not a news person - she's an opinion person. She's wrong about everything that she doesn't flat-out make up and she invents "facts" to suit her agenda, but you know where Maddow stands because she tells you up front and repeatedly precisely where that is.

Our good opinion people - like Tucker - don't do all they lying but like Maddow they're also not news people. A lot more can be forgiven from an opinion person than from a news person.

Maddow's not the worst, she's just talking her book. The "news" desks at places like (MS)NBC, CNN, Bezo's Blog, NYT, etc. are *far* worse than Maddow. At least she isn't pretending to be a straight-shooter who deals in objective truth. These other people do claim that, and this makes their actions worse than Maddow's.

Then, after the beginning of Barbarossa, they did a 180 degree flip on this. Many necks snapped in the process.

And then, after Stalin died, the famous (infamous) 20th Party Congress denounced the excesses of Stalin. Many American Bolsheviks also got whiplash in the process of the wild turn of events.

210 The great irony is that they don't understand why it was important to get things right - they don't even have a clue. The people who built their business knew, but those people are long gone.

A "news organization" only has one real asset - it's credibility. They can talk about distribution, and viewers, but without Credibility they're just the Weekly World News pitching stories about BatBoy hanging out at Hitler's Summer Home in Bolivia.

THAT is why you work so hard to get things right - so that you don't squander the only real asset that you have. But now, it's been squandered. Take this story - one of the reasons I read this blog is to keep up with what people in D.C. are talking about, but in my everyday life, I would be surprised if I know a single person who could tell you who Jake Tapper was without looking up a reference. He's just totally irrelevant to our lives, as we live them. Had lunch with a few workmates today, and the conversation was mainly how the last couple that still had broadcast channels were dropping cable and/or Dish, and going to streaming only for video feeds. Nobody even watches the news channels much anymore, just too much constant blah blah blah. (I'm the nerd because I still enjoy Tucker)

It's not even really a movement of the left or right - it's more of a feeling I can sense amongst ordinary people that all of this is just bullshit, and they're not going to listen to any of it anymore.

______________________________

If you're following along at home, that was the Trump Administration throwing out something juicy to identify their internal leaks. They gave separate little tidbits to different people they suspected of leaking.

So, not only did CNN blatantly release false information; they inadvertently helped the administration nail a few pieces of excrement inside the White House and helped identify those "journalists" that benefited directly from the leaks. I still don't think they know or believe that scenario. They are that dumb and self-important.

One of the other stories like that was the claim that Trump had a dedicated server to connect with Russian investors through Deutsche Bank.

247 In the run -up to the US joining in on WWII, at first all the Hollywood Bolsheviks parroted the Commie party line, and were all about brother socialists in the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, and were against the US helping Great Britain.

Then, after the beginning of Barbarossa, they did a 180 degree flip on this. Many necks snapped in the process.


Actually, the Reds flipped twice. Initially they were all-in on their hatred of the Nazis as Adolf and Stalin slanged each other routinely, then came the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, at which point the Reds considered Adolf their bestest buddy, until Operation Barbarossa, when he once again became the devil incarnate.

But the court case isn't about actually apportioning representatives, it's only about asking a question on the census about citizenship.

The idea is that asking the question will scare non-citizens from answering the census.

And the Left hates that.

It's not like Donald Trump, fresh off of his re-election, is going to suddenly have a large roll of where illegals live in the country, or anything.

265 224 Article 1 Section 2.

3. Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons

and again in the 14th Amendment section 2

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed."

2 points: First, recognize that 14th Amen, Sect. 2, overrides the first paragraph, since it comes later in time. The clause with the 3/5 reference has been defunct for about 150 years now.

Second point - (and this will not be a popular one) Since the 14th Amendment specifies "persons", not "citizens", then a Plain Language Reading says that illegal aliens should be counted as part of the State totals.

337 Then the Census for about 5 decades was unconstitutional because that question has been on there in the past.

Additionally, the citizenship question is on the census long form to this very day.

Not buying that argument as the left would have ran this through the courts in 1950 and before but they didn't. "

Good for you on bringing up this point, since a lot of people have missed it - when it was asked before, it was only for INFORMATIONAL purposes. And those people were still included in the total for representation, they weren't subtracted it. Because they were still Persons, even though they weren't citizens.

Even now, the Trump Administration is NOT saying that they won't be included - they just want to know how many are here. And the Left is scared that the illegals will hide and not answer the census because they're scared of La Migra finding out the results and coming to pay them a visit.

and thus they will SELF-SELECT themselves out of being counted.

THAT is what the entire census fight is actually about. All the parties to the fight know this - it's only the reporters and the general public that are clueless.

The last 150 years of case law can be summed up as, if you can be arrested by the local police for a crime, then you are "subject to the jurisdiction of". Foreign Embassy officials are about the only exceptions anymore. Indians on Reservations also used to be exempt, but that's been dealt with through separate legislation.

Its not like leaving the boundaries of the United States removes you from US jurisdiction anymore than a person would no longer have been a subject of their respective monarch.

The text is clearly exclusionary. The standard and erroneous interpretation insists that the phrase added nothing to the sentence. You cannot be born or naturalized and not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the country in the sense of police jurisdictions and such. The claim that it includes everyone passing through the US as US subjects is dependent on the statement being meaningless.

Furthermore this was specifically addresssed in the debates leading up to its passage.

So we have a text that can only be interpreted this way if someone is intentionally obtuse and we have the debates where its proponents state it would not create freewheeling birthright citizenship. And yet this interpretation persists.
