Mr. Tapper's actions alone prove the old adage that predominantly, mainstream television news "editors", "producers" and "reporters" (in particular those revolving around Washington, D.C.) are eager Hoors when it comes to servicing the Right.

But, you knew that.

Tapper was "carrying some water for producers who knew he had a relationship with the governor's office." This reminds me of the telephone conversation scene in All the President's Men between the WaPo reporter and a Watergate conspirator. The conspirator tried to play on his "relationship" with the reporter, but the reporter responded "What relationship? We don't have a relationship." Once upon a time reporters had contacts with politician's staffs, not personal relationships with them. That distinction helped them do their jobs right.

So, who the heck is Griff Jenkins? Someone who writes things like this:

"Some in the media have accused the new Obama administration of waging a campaign of fear to get their stimulus package passed… but still, numbers don’t lie.

Some in the media... campaign of fear...

I'd say he's a Karl Rove wannabee, mini-me.
And, Govenor, he's here to help.

The fluid that Tapper is carrying- in his mouth- is not water.

"Carrying some water for producers?!?!"

Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?

That should be a fireable offense for Tapper.

It is too bad you cannot do a FOIA request to determine what e-mails and phone messages went between Tapper and the RNC/McCain campaign the night Jake worked late to post that Obama had played the race card. Unless, of course, he e-mailed McCain's Senate office.

Yeah, Sanford wasn't the only one who was hiking the Appalachian Trail. (And by "hiking the Appalachian Trail," I mean, of course, "having an illicit affair.")

I must say, these email FOIA requests bring a whole new meaning to "Media Whores Online"...

Gunga Dim?

Fourth Estate in foreclosure. Auction to follow.

If Jake Tapper's a journalist, I'm a professional basketball player -- and I'm 5 feet 6 and 48 years old.

I love it. Jake Tapper is exposed as for what he is and he is such a sniveling coward that he lays the blame off on his producers. So he is both a sycophant and a liar. Yuck.

Having been in the media, I can tell you there's a huge advantage to being in power. Most editors are desperate to cuddle up to incumbents because they fear "the other guy" will get the story if they aren't sycophantic enough.

There once was a guy named Tapper,
Who wasn't much good as a rapper;
So he took up reporting,
While rarely resorting,
To journalism and that was the capper.

Sadly, if that reporter from the State was smarter, she'd have waited until his press conference to see if he would repeat his bullshit story to the masses. Then she would have really had a bigger story by asking him about her findings in public. I'll bet she's always going to wonder if he would have come clean had she not called his office after speaking with him at the airport. As for Jerk Tapper, I knew he was a fraud when he admitted going on a date with Monica Lewinsky the day before she blew up..so to speak. He's real garbage and clearly jealous that David Gregory has MTP and he's still shilling for the Repblicans on abc. Suck it Jake. Monica can show you how!

Well good.What else would it take for people to realize as many posters here have done that Tapper has always been a wing nut trying to fly under the Radar.
