Jake Tapper: Press Was ‘Very Friendly’ to Obama, Many Drank ‘The Kool-Aid’

Tapper is simply pointing out the blazingly obvious (and despite his preening here, he was little better). The press is no longer the press. It is just a propaganda arm for the far left and the Democrat Party. No sane person should trust what CNN or the New York Times or the rest of them say. You want news? Come to the Geller Report.

“Jake Tapper: Press Was ‘Very Friendly’ to Obama, Many Drank ‘The Kool-Aid,’” by Alex Griswold, Washington Free Beacon, April 20, 2017:

CNN host Jake Tapper accused the mainstream media of being too friendly with former President Barack Obama during his administration.

In a candid interview with GQ published Tuesday, Tapper acknowledged that after his tough interviews of administration figures like Kellyanne Conway, he picked up a following from many critics of President Donald Trump.

“It’s nice to be recognized, but I also know that a lot of the people who are happy with me now are not going to be happy with me in four to eight years,” he predicted.

Tapper said that he was just as tough on Obama, and earned his share of grief for it at the time.

“A lot of people sending me nice tweets today were cursing me when I was asking questions about Benghazi in 2012,” he said.

“President Obama was not friendly to the press, but the press was very friendly to President Obama,” Tapper told GQ. “I mean, President Obama did not like me, and I understand why. I was a pain in his ass and I didn’t drink the Kool-Aid, and, you know, a lot of other people did.”

Tapper has made similar indictments before, saying that the mainstream media had a “cultural bias” that was more complicated that just liberal bias….

Who changes?
Think about it, the DNC is in constant flux, different leadership, different members in power. Message stays the same.
The enemedia doesn’t change, their management doesn’t change regardless of how poorly they perform.
Who is driving whom? Who is in control?

It’s hilarious, however pathetic, to watch the rats scramble off obama’s sinking ship. Anderson Cooper is another cowardly case study.
Now is the moment of the coup de grace of the fully exposed and disgraced Democrat Party and its propaganda arm, the “legacy media.”

The lame stream media were and still are so afraid of being called conservative, unprogressive and not politically correct, that like western europeans, they will sell their grandmothers, mothers, sisters and daughters to whatever trendy progressive stupidity is fashionable amongst the vacuum in the cranial vacuousness of phoney celebrities and mentally challenged egotists.

The media types went way beyond “very friendly” to being groupies and total suck ups. They were totally enthralled by obama and ready to kiss the floor he walked on.

I do remember Jake Tapper was one of the very few journalists that questioned Obama after he was first elected, while most journalists were slobbering over Obama. I saw Tapper go after Obama repeatedly and I never forgot that, even though he seems just as douchy as other journalists when going after Trump. He’s one of the few I believe still has integrity.

If Jake had integrity he would not work for CNN. I liked him for a while, but then he drifted into becoming just another left-wing/liberal, Trump hating CNN journalist. Never was he as critical and contemptuous of Obama as he now is of Trump.

Tapper should know since he is one of the guilty party and his take on the subject is simply the voice of experience speaking. In the US media, the default narrative regarding Trump is always the negative, no matter what. Trump could save small children from a burning building and the media would find fault with him for not having helped fight the fire. As a change of pace, is it possible to get a by-mail subscription to “National Enquirer”?
