Twitter Highlights of Jake Tapper going DEEP in the tank. [ArthurK]
— Open Blogger

(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 (14:1

My 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

10 I never believed that there was some central control being exerted on 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.

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.

I reject the premise that there has ever been unbiased journalism-- because people can not be unbiased.  All you can do is disclose your bias, or hide it.

 

Which is why I believe blogs are superior to old media in terms of cerdibility.

46 One thing I wish someone would ask her - is there a pregnancy problem at the Georgetown University? Cuz, that's one of the justifications for this new policy, right, that all these women are getting pregnant because they can't afford to purchase birth control. And, if it's not a problem, then the university is not going to experience all these "savings" that Sebelius keeps talking about. In fact, at $1,000 per female student per year just for the contraceptives, that's quite an addition to the student budget.

January 2007, Ace wrote this:

"I just had to post this, because I just saw the worst CSI: Miami ever, and I'm a connoisseur of this particular crap.

Caruso heroically got a hate-crimes case against a man already on the hook for capital murder. The DA asks, "Isn't the hate crimes case overkill?"

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.""

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.

70 The news media has never been "unbiased".  Even in colonial times the pamplets and news rags were rabidly partisan between one camp or another.

The difference then vs now is that there was an equal distribution between the camps.  Now ALL the news media is solidly in the back pocket of the liberals and Democrats.

There may be one or two papers that are Republican leaning but they are so rare few people ever seem them.

72 My favorite Journalism moment of the last couple of decades was David Brinkley begrudgingly accepting that Bill Clinton just won a second term in office.

Posted by: Truck Monkey at March 04, 2012 12:20 PM (jucos)

73 I'd say Tapper is "half right," in telling others to take up the mantle of journalism from corrupt party hacks like him, and do it properly, because he won't. 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.

97 Didn't they spend two years going through Palin's e-mail, mostly after she was out of office and not campaigning for another? 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.

104 I'm sure this has probably already been mentioned in the comments above, but Mr. Tapper knows on which side his bread is buttered.  Actually do an interview where you try to get to the truth of the matter of a woman who, oh by the way, just happens to have made it her life's work for 'reproductive freedom,' or whatever, and is spewing a bunch of lies about $1,000.00 a year for birth control, or still get your paycheck?

133
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.

142 Well, since Jake Tapper is either too lazy or too liberal or both to do his job, lets assemble a list of question any actual reporter should ask this twit when given a chance.  Here's a couple, just off the top of my head:

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?

180 "This is a black day for American Journalism." News: American journalism has been DOA since 2008. Pravda was never so much in the tank for Brezhnev as the American press has been for Obama. They're now just the agitprop arm of the DNC. 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.

183 Why do always pretend to act surprised, shocked, and dismayed at yet more evidence that the Lame Stream Media are nothing but propagandists for the democrat party? For at least 50 years, they have been as much a part of the democrat party as any union thug, government bureaucrat, hollywood sodomite, or welfare queen. Why do we always pretend we didn't know? And, why do we need some "hard hitting, tough questions" by a reporter to figure out that this woman is just another communist agitator?

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.

For example:  if you don't pay me for my birth control, I will go out and get pregnant.

Or:  If you don't pay me for birth control or certain innoculations, I will go out and get herpes, and then spread it around.

Or, in other avenues of life:  If you don't pay me, I'll steal from you, beat you up, use needles, etc......

the Flukes of the world are forming and participating in SHAKE DOWNS.

216 The Women's liberation movement started from the premise that women did not need to rely on a paternalistic society and could take charge of their own lives.  Women's liberation has devolved to begging the paternalistic government for free pills because apparently women are too weak, too impoverished, too impotent to obtain them on their own without the help of Big Daddy.

221 No doubt of the bias in media but I think most people read to much into these interviews. The simple reason most these 'journalist' don't ask the tough or important questions is because they don't put two and two together, they just aren't all that bright. And it isn't just the left, you want to see a "journalist' spend twenty minutes asking all the wrong questions, watch Hannity or O'Reilly.

Wallace would NOT even submit that a line had been crossed re separation of church and state. Was more interested in getting Santorum to say he was against contraception.
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.

225 I'm sorry someone called Sandra Fluke an ugly name while she works to 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.

Maybe Jake Tapper needs to get tips from Gerogie S, might get more invites to cocktail parties at the WH.

253 Sent via snail mail to the presidents of the companies that have dropped Rush. "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." May God damn this woman for what she has done.

A liberal facebook friend posted an approving link to a DU piece that celebrated Limbaugh's loss of these sponsors. My response was "Air America could not be reached for comment."

256 "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. Posted by: DaveA at March 04, 2012 07:38 PM (r8deX)" 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.

258 "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.

259 Our media has been taken over by special interest groups, and the Obama Regime.

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.

If we can't see the disaster, then it doesn't exist.

261 I just noticed that Twitter has an embed link for each tweet. I don't know if this is new, but it is very handy for quickly inserting a tweet into a post. However, the text for the link is a very light grey, so it can be hard to see unless you know it's there.

Clinton had Lewinsky.

Obama has Jake Tapper.

Good job slapping the shit out of that fraud Tapper.

Thanks, Ace.

Posted by: Mr Fever Head at March 05, 2012 01:21 AM (SzAZ7)

265 There has never been unbiased journalism. Ever.

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".

Not even looking at previous comments, no offense to anyone preceding me.

 

No brainer.  I can describe my own job.  Why can't Jake ?

 

Cry for help ?  ABC won't let him speak ?  Doesn't understand the whole idea of the media being an "Estate" rests on their credibility as critics of their "fellow Estates" ?

Assimilating previous comments - he's obviously in the tank.  We all sell out for pussy sometimes - those of us who are honest admit it.  If you want me to say otherwise, Jay, give me one good reason.  Or more - I'm not sure one will suffice anymore.

 

Sometimes it might be better to admit you have conflicted intestests and silence yourself.  Just sayin'.

268 Calling this woman a slut or a prostitute instead of presenting a rational argument is a sign that you've lost the debate.

You haven't lost the debate because you've reduced yourselves to these slurs. You're using them because you've already lost.

Ace,
You have to remember that Jake Tapper works at ABC which is owned by Disney.  ABC will never, never report anything that is controversial because they are worried about supporting their $6 billion tourism industry and not worried about actually reporting the news.  Jake is a good guy and probably one of the best journalists that is mainstream but if he even hinted that he was confronting Miss Fluke then he would be fired like the headline reporter from ESPN.  Women make up half of our population and if ABC pisses them off then Disney thinks that they won't go to the Magic Kingdom.  This is the biggest problem with an entertainment comapny owning a "news" reporting outlet.  Good call on taking him on though!

270 @jaketapper's been a bigtime lefty all his career. Starting at the DC left-wing pennysaver, "City Paper."

All that "standin' up to Obama" stuff is just window-dressing for the network suits, just in case a gig that needs a "fair and balanced" looking body comes along.

271 Ace, dude, you are not getting the message.
What Rush did that no liberal has ever done was demand a sex tape from a pretty female student half his age.
That made every father of daughters in Americas blood boil.
well.....except for Moron Horde fathers i guess.  you guys are "special".
