CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday denied any "hysteria" on his network over a recent report that President Trump directed his personal attorney to lie to Congress about a deal with Russia.
Trump's defenders on Sunday pushed back on the report by blaming the media for seizing on the story, which Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani characterized as "phony."
"The reality is, yesterday BuzzFeed published a story that was scandalous. It was horrible. They should be sued, under investigation," Giuliani said on CNN's "State of the Union." "That's because you have a hysteria going on in the media that interprets everything against Donald Trump."
"There's no hysteria here, sir," Tapper replied. LINK

Tapper lost all credibility the last time he went all in on a buzzfeed piece. It’s his MO. I can’t believe he’s got so many people fooled to think he’s a reasonable journalist with integrity. He’s one of the worst in the media because he hides it.

How many times was the word, "impeach" uttered on CNN during the 18-hour feeding frenzy induced by the BuzzFeed story?


Either hysteria or groupthink.

Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat in the House, asserted that lawmakers included the caveat that the report would have to be true for it to warrant further investigation or impeachment considerations.
"I don’t think that my Democratic friends are in any way rushing to judgment because they qualified right up front 'if this is true,'" Clyburn said on "Fox News Sunday."

No.
If he made that claim, he lives in a lie.

I get it. He has to do anything to protect the CNN brand including lying bold face about anything and everything. Trust in traditional media in the US is plummeting and we will all be better off when it dies out.

Maybe Tapper is suggesting there’s another level of hysteria- like when Muellers report comes out and isn’t the bombshell the Dems expected.
