A little spin that it is mainly reaction to White Supremacists but otherwise points out who they are

Are they realizing that this false outrage is falling flat?

Be aware that the link above is to CNN.
Click only if you choose to support their propaganda machine.

Jake Tapper had the balls to call out Linda Sarsour on that network, so I'll give it a watch.

Not all stories about CNN link to CNN.
Just warning those who choose not to give them the traffic.

When Jake puts his head in the sand about an issue, people hammer his arse on twitter and he at least gives it consideration, in time. I will at least give him credit for showing up on twitter everyday and hearing other points of view.....even though he is liberal and won't admit it.

Props to Jake Tapper for at least acknowledging them for who they actually are. He's starting to become one of the few voices of reason at CNN.

Hes one of the worst at CNNbevause he's managed to convince people that he's a real journalist who's impartial and unbiased when he's anything but. As far as I'm concerned he's the worst because of that. This lip service attention to matter that was obvious to everyone and something he basically had to be shamed into doing with not change my mind on him.

Falling flat? Have you been under a rock this week? Trump has lost a council full of CEOs and two chief advisors just in the last few days, on top of receiving scorn from all sides of the political spectrum.

Flat

On Tuesday, Trump brought up ANTIFA (I believe about the time Tapper's show airs).

On Wednesday he sent out a series of tweets about two reporters who were attacked by the counter-protestors. And that may have been reported later in the day, maybe after his show.

Thursday that was a major terrorist attack.

Friday he has an official segment on ANTIFA.

So Wednesday was the only day he probably could have had a segment on it, but he was at least already tweeting about it.

I think people are too critical of him. He may he on CNN, and he probably has a left leaning slant, but he's far more balanced and objective than just about anybody out there.

Bret Baier is the same way, but of course there is probably a right leaning focus, but that's his primary audience like the left's Jake's.

Worse than Chris Cuomo who said that it was illegal for civilians to look at Wikileaks? Worse than Don Lemon who had his own camera man interviewed as a protester? Worse than Wolf Blitzer who hasn't formed what any would consider to be a coherent thought?

The one thing we can rely on Tapper to do is to stay so selfish that if he thinks being truthful will help his personal rating more than pushing CNN's fake narrative then every once in a blue moon he'll speak the truth, for purely selfish reasons, but he does it all the same.

I've argued with him before about this, when he was singling out Tapper for covering the military Trans policy Trump tweeted about earlier that morning, as if that's all Tapper covered. I was curious, so I checked the video of the program that they post afterwards, and yes he covered it, but nothing like it was insinuated. So I think he doesn't like Tapper.

Sounds like you have a problem with selfishness, as if it's the principal factor in your view of Tapper? Yet, correct my if I'm wrong, but you seem like one of those ardent Trump supporters. So if selfishness is so important to you, then how can you support a person, as a leader no less, who is essentially the textbook definition of selfish.

Council of CEOs? Maybe some of those CEOs shouldn't come looking for gov't subsidies.....Good.

Bannon....good.

Oh, and the arts council....don't forget about that.

This will bite the left in the arse like always.

Maybe they're just following the lead of the President. Afterall, he's proudly propped up the swamp for his own benefit for decades, apparently be use that's just good business. But nah, who needs them. There is only a bunch of them who are far more competent and knowledgeable businessman than the cronyist in office.

I think the bigger issue with most sane people is that Trump is saying there were good people marching on Friday night. That was simply insane for him to say that.
