The trials and tribulations of Jake Tapper

 There's been a whole lot about this story, but I tend to slough it off.


Jake Tapper is always been talked about, so I just ignore it all. But I sometimes read a bit about him. This dude is trying to make money off an "apology" that he does not make. I mean, it's bad enough to cover for the Bidens, but this dude is out there trying to make money off the appearance of making it right, when he really isn't. This dude takes the cake. Besides, I don't know why anybody'd buy this dude's book. Really, he's not reliable. If you want to read fiction, maybe you'd have better luck with someone more talented at writing it.


The relevant quote:


As he explained, it is hard to believe "Jake Tapper just woke up," but he thinks the framing is part of a larger strategy. Tapper and Thompson reportedly hired a crisis PR firm to help them navigate the book launch, and Greenwald said he sees those fingerprints are all over the authors' media tour -- beginning with their appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show. "[Tapper] kept using this phrase with you... 'I look back on my coverage with some humility.' This is the kind of thing that they tell you to say so that you seem like you're taking accountability even though you are absolutely not," Greenwald noted. "Like, what does that mean? You were the one who helped to lead the cover up that you are now... making millions of dollars off of exposing. It is a huge scandal."



Anyway, I try to ignore these people as much as possible. But this is so ridiculous, it invites a response.
