Do he have a good reason?


quote:

CNN anchor Jake Tapper is ripping the Conservative Political Action Conference's decision to invite far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos to speak at the annual meeting. In a series of tweets Sunday night, Tapper slammed the invite after a video surfaced of the Breitbart editor appearing to defend pedophilia. Tapper said he initially wanted to avoid discussing the revelation, but was urged to speak out by an unnamed friend, who Tapper said is a victim of sexual abuse.

Milo can make some good points but is generally pretty disgusting.

the rioters at UC Berkley wanted to shut this guy down and shut him up

as far as public profile and awareness he was on his way out of the door, since the incident he's been on several tv shows being introduced to new audiences by the millions and CNN is whining about him

good job guys

I have not listened to the tape, but let's say He did defend that.... does he still get a voice? Should he be defended?

So what Tapper was saying was: Cannot shut up journalism but this editor at a news outlet cannot be allowed to speak?

Sounds about right for a Leftist who hates Freedom of Speech except when it is applies to his own speech or job.

He was once the only rational voice at CNN, management must be leaning on him hard to toe the anti-Trump line. Until a slot opens up at Fox he probably has to suck it up and play ball or loss a big paycheck.

no, he was just a voice you never heard because he wasn't on the air in the evenings until the last 2 years with the election stuff

tapper hasn't changed, he's always been like this...now people just know who he is.

ETA: also after the DNC leaks and podesta leaks who cares if he is a fraud. Jake tapper is a fraud, a much bigger one too

Liberals to CPAC before inviting Milo: "you're all a bunch of bigots because you don't accept anyone with different views thsb yours lives"

Liberals to CPAC after inviting Milo: "You're all a bunch of pervs and hypocrites because you invited someone with different views than yours"

This is why one cannot take "advise" from liberals.

What's bizarre is this board would find a way to justify the holocaust if Hitler was pro-Trump.

A disgusting flaming bundle of sticks that digs little boys is all good because...Trump.

People could, theoretically, be for Trump without abandoning everything they ever stood for or against.

A gay guy who is smart, conservative, and who attacks radical Islam? He must be discredited at all costs.
