Jake Tapper of CNN Ripped Obama For Criticizing Reporters For Failing To Hold Presidential Candidates Accountable. He really lit into Barry's hypocrisy. I am in shock...
Quote:CNN’s Jake Tapper had sharp words Tuesday for President Obama after the latter’s lecture of the media the previous night, calling Obama a hypocrite because of his poor record on transparency since taking office.
Obama demanded at a media awards dinner that the Fourth Estate hold presidential candidates more accountable. He scolded the press for enabling a candidate like Donald Trump and suggested it had a greater responsibility than to hand someone a microphone.
“President Obama made many salient points,” Tapper said. “His message was a good one, but was President Obama the right messenger?”
After briefly recapping Obama’s address, Tapper said that for many journalists, “the messenger was a curious one.”
“Many believe that Obama’s call for us to probe and dig deeper and find out more has been made far more difficult by his administration than any in recent decades. A far cry from the assurances he offered when he first took office,” Tapper said.
Tapper is one of the few true journalists left in this country.
He's gone after the WH on several absurd attacks on the media. He pushed back hard back in 2010 or so when the WH was openly trying to shut out and rally support against Fox news. And Tapper doesn't even work for Fox.
He saw the danger of that. Whether you like fox news or not, this is not the Soviet Union.

CNN has typically not been partisan. They don't apologize for the Democrats even though they are liberal. Now ABC, NBC and CBS are owned lock, stock and barrel by the DNC. How could anybody with any integrity have Stephanopolous interview the person questioning the Clinton Foundation? NBC is barely better than their progressive echo chamber at MSNBC.

I tend to think CBS is one of the more objective news organizations around, though given big media's reporting on Sanders I'm not as sure on that as I once was.
Far as I can tell, MSNBC was created in response to Fox. Fox set the standard for biased political commentary masquerading as objective responding, and anyone who considers it either fair or balanced is sadly misinformed.
