Flush Tapper down the crapper
Democrats have to learn the beltway media aren’t their friends
ADAM PARKHOMENKO AND SAM YOUNGMAN
Want to run for president in 2028? Well here’s your first decision: Do you want to spend all your time talking about her emails or her fracking positions?
Because unless we learn to get tough with a Trump-loving press corps that doesn’t give a damn about the constitution or the American people, we will be walking into the same buzzsaw of bullshit that Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris did.
Think we’re exaggerating? Turn on CNN. You will find them talking about Jake Tapper’s scummy new book that insults and demeans President Joe Biden in ways that Tapper would never dream about doing to Trump. Now turn off CNN.
Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson and the rest of the beltway butt-kissers have repeatedly made clear that they think accountability and standards should only apply to Democratic candidates and officials. That’s why Tapper is spending his time trashing Biden and kissing up to Lara Trump and Megyn Kelly at the very same time that Trump is attacking Bruce Springsteen in the middle of the night and accepting bribes from Middle East countries. To be crude, reporters like Tapper are pussies. It’s way easier to get tough with Biden when you know he won’t call you stupid or send a violent mob to your home. The civility police are dirty cops.
