A chorus of criticism erupted Sunday evening over a televised phone interview between CNNs Jake Tapper and President Donald Trump, an interview that some described as pathetic.
Calling into CNNs State of the Union, Trump appeared to dictate much of the interview after refusing to answer certain questions, and with little pushback from Tapper.
Tapper also let stand what appeared to be the president's reference to billionaire David Ellison's impending takeover of the network, which analysts suspect may push CNN's coverage in a direction more favorable to the Trump administration.
..........
Tapper then insisted he was on a normal path right here, sir, before thanking the president for calling in and telling him I appreciate your time.

Where's Tapper's book about Trump's mental decline and physical infirmity?

A perfectly good chain saw. Use a 6 long 10 inch diameter soil auger. Rusty and go slowly and manually.

Jake Tappers white flag timidity when interviewing Sir, is as obvious as the tarp covering the Kennedy Center.

the time when it will be most profitable to release it. And that will probably be after Ellison wipes out the entire crew at CNN.
Have no illusions. The billionaires have no interest in making CBS or CNN strong networks representing the public interest. They mainly bought them to get them out of the way.

but kept at the ready as some job insurance.
