You have to at least give the man a smidge of credit, given that he admitted his error.

I do. The other talking heads on the liberal networks are swearing it was a nothing burger. Good for him for having at least some integrity

News reporters like him don't say anything that hasn't been scripted for them by their news agency. He doesn't just get on that camera all willy-nilly and just start spouting his mouth off with his personal opinions for fucksake. He's just a narrator he doesn't make the news he doesn't decide what news to report none of those news reporters do

Jake Tapper teases that he's a real reporter sometimes and then he falls off the wagon while explaining how you should think.

FBI reports from several years ago confirm Trump Russia collision. This was confirmed by investigative journalism at the time and up until recently.

Sounds like fake news. Jake tapper is falling for the fake news out there. This is 2023, why would anyone be lying about this. It's unfortunate to see so many people getting sucked up into fake news narratives that are already debunked several years ago

Tisk tisk

This very very late admittion is really short of admitting to the contribution of foreign efforts to sway two consecutive elections with obvious misinformation, of which everyone knew originated from Russia and bought through foreign intelligence entities, through multiple shell companies...

Yeah I'm not saying he met a high bar or anything. Just slightly higher than his co-worker CIA asset Anderson Cooper who apparently did not even deign to mention the report on his segment. Liberals needed to hear a trusted liberal like Tapper admit this was BS, because most of them won't even do that, and I don't know where else they would hear this if they consume only liberal media

Obviously they skip over the implications of admitting this was all false. It wasn't just a simple mistake, it changed voter minds, spread misinformation, and had huge consequences to American politics. This is like yelling fire in a theater, and then weeks later admit, "ok there was no fire".
