Jake Tapper "Reports" on Antifa Attacking Journalists... On Twitter. And Without Calling Them Antifa.

John Sexton is a close friend and I don't want to hit him on this.

But as a general matter, it's time for conservatives to stop being #CheapDates for Jake Tapper.

He mentioned this on Twitter. I doubt he will feature it on, you know, his actual TV show.

He does this a lot -- if you embarrass him about his non-coverage of a major story that he's embargoing because of his lefty politics, he'll mention it on Twitter, as he did here, but he'll keep his CNN show clean of this offensive material.

His show's on now-- let me know if he gets 'round to mentioning it.

If a critic points out his blatant hypocrisy -- his bullshit posture of a Real News MAN Who Reports Without Prejudice or Favor -- he'll give you a little "Shut up, I 'covered' that on Twitter" appeasement.

But it won't the make the actual TV "news" cast.

Check the timestamps here:

.@jaketapper, I remember you being very emotional when people razzed @katytur. Any comment on this, or is this for @BrianStelter to embargo? https://t.co/IcVtcbLpYs

At least two journalists in Charlottesville were assaulted by people protesting the Klan/Nazi/alt-right rally. Taylor is one: https://t.co/haVOw89uTN
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) August 17, 2017

Notice, by the way, that he provides three descriptors for the protesters -- "Nazi/KKK/Alt-right" -- but his descriptor for antifa is just "people protesting the Nazs/KKK/Alt-right."

He's been on a jeremiad about specifically naming the evil groups -- why does he lose his nerve with antifa?

Later in this series of tweets, he notes a letter written by antifa defends/excuses this attack, but he's careful not to id the assailant as antifa.

Over the years, I've got a lot of excuses from Jake Tapper about why major stories do not appear on his show.

The Iran Echo Chamber story? I don't trust that source, he told me, not giving any reasons for that lack of trust. When I later told him Ben Rhodes and Ned Price had confirmed the quotes attributed to them, he said something like "It was a busy news day" or whatever.

Months later the Iran Echo Chamber story was in the news again, and I again asked why he wasn't covering it. Again he told me "I don't trust that source," forgetting, it seems, that he had already offered that excuse previously and I had already rebutted it by linking Rhodes and Price affirming the quotes.

Jake Tapper's main outreach to conservatives is just making bullshit excuses for his leftist bias -- he was a former "star" Salon reporter, don't forget -- which is hailed as some kind of victory by his fanbois on the right (of which there are many-- and I specifically do not include John Sexton (of whom I am a fanboi, as you might gather from my many links to him)).

When pressed, and with no avenue of easy retreat, Tapper will mention something on Twitter, and then Noah C. Rothman will applaud his "courage" for tweeting a story late in the night.

But he's #OnTheTelevision, and the television is the new Cult of the Saints. Many people just seem to lose their shit when someone from the TV!!! "interacts" with them on twitter. It's enough to create a permanent loyalty to the Great Television Celebrity for many.

I have to admit, I know people from movies or tv, and yeah, you do kind of think "OMG, someone from TV or the movies!" I admit it. Yes, it's a major thing. Even if you try to be cool about it, it's still a thing.

But the intense cult of loyalty Tapper has instilled in his devoted suckophants merely for retweeting them (or sending a cursory DM after they effusively praise him for his "bravery") is a bit too far, isn't it?

If you want to meet the real Jake Tapper, here's how you do it:

Criticize him online for bias. Oh sure he's quite swell if you're praising him. Who wouldn't be?

But try criticizing him for his bias.

You will then meet the Real Jake Tapper -- not the Pleasant Celebrity Who Pleasantly Accepts Your Fawning Admiration -- in your DMs.

And the Real Jake Tapper isn't the one who flatters you with some small amount of Twitter Attention after you praise him.

But then, he is #OnTelevision. And therefore, adult men should continue allowing themselves to be reduced to quivering schoolgirls when such a "celebrity" as he gives them some minor attention.

40 I have an idea:

1) Stop protests for now. Time out.

2) If there are licensed "protests" or "gatherings" come without weapons or riot gear.

3) No media coverage. This step alone will keep the basement bois home. It is all about their few minutes of fame, with ugly people captured for eternity in our retinas. See: press corpse without teevee. No teevee no show the theatrics.

If Jake Tapster had any investigative skillz, he would be able to connect occupy to Auntie Fa. Or that many of the break-off factions of these, um, clubs are run by former felons (including pedophiles) who recruit the mentally ill.

101 Speaking of Milieu Yiannopolis since when did he become an untouchable "alt righter" white supremacist (as a gay man with a black boyfriend).
Is it because the antifa started burning sh*t down wherever he was scheduled to speak, and so had to be deemed "alt right Nazi" to justify it?
Seriously, DJT should have a press conference with Milo, introducing him as his openly gay half of a biracial couple and watch lefty heads explode like Scanners.

Now don't you wish all those experts who can't be troubled with your opinion--especially with who should be president--would actually heed the larger message rather than the specific incidence he was citing?

149 Since Cicero announced the previous thread was closing, I figured I should address this here.

@simplemind

"844 Doesn't necessarily mean its true . . .

"nothing is necessarily true when it comes to historians. "

Oh no, there are a lot of things that are necessarily true, and anybody telling you otherwise while claiming to be a "historian" is probably some "postmodernist" hustler,

For instance, it is necessarily true that Jack Pershing lived. It is necessarily true that he fought the Moro Jihadis. It is necessarily true that airliners destroyed he twin towers on 9/11/3001 of the Gregoria's Calender, and so on.

Those things we can know for sure. I am not sure if the pig story for Pershing is something we can absolutely know was true or not, but I would have to research more.

Still, I am inclined to believe it is true.

"But, if its in Pershings own book I think Trump's entitled to believe it."

Oh agreed indeed.

Not so much about the no terrorist attacks in 35 years thing.
Still, his heart is in the right place.

* BLM is a scam, is violent, and is vilely racist
* ANTIFA is a scam, is violent, and is vilely racist

What people often leave out is that Eisenhower DIDN'T just warn us about one complex, but the elevation of the EXPERT over the common man.

Perhaps best known for advocating that the nation guard against the potential influence of the military–industrial complex, a term he is credited with coining, the speech also expressed concerns about planning for the future and the dangers of massive spending, especially deficit spending, the prospect of the domination of science through Federal funding and, conversely, the domination of science-based public policy by what he called a "scientific-technological elite".

"These Juramentado attacks were materially reduced in number by a practice that the Mohamedans held in abhorrence. The bodies were publicly buried in the same grave with a dead pig. It was not pleasant to have to take such measures, but the prospect of going to hell instead of heaven sometimes deterred the would-be assassins."

What people often leave out is that Eisenhower DIDN'T just warn us about one complex, but the elevation of the EXPERT over the common man.

Perhaps best known for advocating that the nation guard against the potential influence of the military--industrial complex, a term he is credited with coining, the speech also expressed concerns about planning for the future and the dangers of massive spending, especially deficit spending, the prospect of the domination of science through Federal funding and, conversely, the domination of science-based public policy by what he called a "scientific-technological elite".

The story goes they would apply tourniquets to their extremities and get hopped up on some damn thing or another, and wave after human wave would attack and consequently people would be all shot up by the .32 or .38 caliber rounds. Thus the need for a larger, heavier round that would prove sovereign in such cases. Regrettable, but necessary as it were.

oh actually, in that one story, he was a slave. The one where he is swimming in the ocean and is picked up by a merchant ship. Pretty sure he is only allowed on the ship as a galley (slave) oarsman.

He later kills the captain and takes control of the ship. He also says something dark, like "You thought you could just fish me out of the water and keep your ship, your woman, and your life?"

That race gave rise to one of the funniest political ads ever (of course it was yanked immediately when the Dems cried "racist!!!" even though the ad never alludes to Ford's race at all).

I'm starting to think that black radicals who think all whites are racist may have a point. I think most whites feel guilty about race and one of the ways they deal with it is to call out the racism -real or imagined--of OTHER white people. This alleviates their personal feelings of guilt while also directing ire at others.
Now Trump's comments have given them an opportunity pile on and run for the hills.
It's sheer madness.

i liked it and I don't know that conan was "never a slave." It's never mentioned, but Conan was just about everything in his career.

oh actually, in that one story, he was a slave. The one where he is swimming in the ocean and is picked up by a merchant ship. Pretty sure he is only allowed on the ship as a galley (slave) oarsman.

He later kills the captain and takes control of the ship. He also says something dark, like "You thought you could just fish me out of the water and keep your ship, your woman, and your life?"

As if the guy should have known better than to save his life.

The captain wasn't even a villain. Not a humanitarian, but no villain.
Posted by: ace at August 17, 2017 05:22 PM (8rNrN)

Well Conan was a barbarian. A thief. An outlaw. That was kind of the character Robert E. Howard was trying write. A man from outside civilization and unconstrained by 20th century morality.

Makes for great escapist reading, even today.

370 Lots of people on the previous thread were asking for more detail on Charlottesville, and whether Fields was in fact attacked by club-wielding Antifas. Short answer: yes he was, immediately after the collision, they obviously would have killed him if he'd gotten out of the car, or stayed in it, and most of the serious and critical injuries occurred when he put his car in reverse, gunned the motor, and ran over the homicidal thugs too stupid to know not to stand behind a car with its motor running when you're trying to bash your way in and kill the driver.

The film that convinced me Fields may well be acquitted was linked at Althouse by someone named Rabel, and I linked it again on this thread. Ctrl-F on 'Weevil' to find the link and my analysis of what it shows. There is a lot of interesting discussion on that Althouse thread and a dozen others before and after, mixed in of course with truckloads of complete crap from the usual Althouse lefties.

Bill Clinton had a saying back in the day: Don't Poke The Bear. What he meant was don't introduce sudden, transformative change into the system because multiple shocks to the public would generate a counter-reaction that would negate the gains and roll back the changes.

Think about this: the game-changing strategic errors made by Hillary's campaign were made because Hillary's campaign manager, Robbie Mook, pushed Bill Clinton to the side, shut him out of the decision-making process even though Bill Clinton pointed out each of those errors as they were being made. Mook ignored Bill right up to election day, convinced the election was in the bag.

My point is that the people now running the Left are all Mooks.

422 I heard, without much substantiation, that the Colt .45 automatic pistol was invented due to the Moro tribesme.. er, indigi-peoples. The story goes they would apply tourniquets to their extremities and get hopped up on some damn thing or another, and wave after human wave would attack and consequently people would be all shot up by the .32 or .38 caliber rounds. Thus the need for a larger, heavier round that would prove sovereign in such cases. Regrettable, but necessary as it were.

He reports it as if it were something to be proud of, so I'm pretty sure it's true.

474 Was Heath H. one of the ones beating on the car? I've only seen parts of the linked video (don't much) but in one bit an EMT is doing what chest compressions in a way that looks it's really not working. The person he's working on has very fat, very pink, very hairless legs, and Heath H. was apparently quite plump, though you'd never know from the MSM coverage. (Someone was banned from a social-media site for calling her "fat" and some other nasty things.) I think that must be Heather H., since she's the only one dead so far, and where she's lying as they work on her suggests that she may have been one of the people behind the car - in other words, an actively violent Wobbly in action, not just some wannabe. But I don't really want to watch the whole video carefully enough to tell - unlike all the people on Twitter watching crying Nazis over and over, I don't really enjoy seeing others suffer, even Antifas.

488 The NYT editor involved in the Palin editorial law suit has said that he didn't intend to defame her;

The editorial said there was a link between political incitement and the mass shooting in Arizon that severely wounded Representative Gabby Giffords and said that Ms. Palin's "political action committee circulated a map of targeted electoral districts that put Ms. Giffords and 19 other Democrats under stylized cross hairs."

I'm sure he intended to say: "The price of tomatoes has gone up over the last 60 years" but instead a series of inadvertent typos caused the editorial to read as published.

I think a more accurate piece of testimony would be to say: "I never intended to get sued for slander - I thought I could get away with it."
