Jake Tapper

According to a court filing exclusively obtained by NewsBusters, CNN’s Jake Tapper refused to answer basic questions about his show’s finances, including his salary, during a sworn deposition on Wednesday. The legal team for Plaintiff and Navy veteran Zachary Young was now requesting Florida’s 14 Circuit Court to step in and force him to answer the questions.

With CNN and MSNBC both reportedly going through hard times, it’s worth recalling perhaps the greatest corporate media hoax in recent memory. From the very beginning of the first Trump presidency in 2017, practically every journalist in America was frothing at the mouth about the latest national security scare: “Russia hacked the election!” This story would turn out to be not just a pernicious…

With the January 6, 2025 trial date rapidly approaching, CNN has apparently resorted to trying to get the court to bar an expert witness from testifying against them in the $1 billion defamation suit they’re facing. Among their various complaints directed against Major General James V. Young (retired), CNN essentially argued that he was too good of a witness and provided too many important…

Multiple CNN journalists proved to the world that they were living in a liberal political silo Tuesday night, as they could not give a reason to explain why Georgia independent voters would swing 20 points from 2020 to now back former President Trump.

So desperate was CNN to make something stick against former President Trump in the last few days of the election, they spent much of their Friday newscasts peddling the false claims that he threated Liz Cheney with a firing squad. Host Jake Tapper got more than he bargained for on The Lead, when Tennessee Republican Senator Bill Hagerty confronted him over his network’s “distortion”…

In a pre-Halloween hearing in the $1 billion defamation suit against them, on Wednesday, CNN tried to bring their Sharia law defense back from the grave. Judge William Scott Henry of Florida’s 14th Circuit Court called it “a circular argument” that wanted pity for the Afghanis while implying they were criminals for escaping the Taliban. The network’s lawyer ultimately argued that “half-ass”…

In what has become a commonplace occurrence, Ohio Senator and GOP vice presidential nominee JD Vance gets booked on a Regime Media Sunday show, appears on said show, and then promptly wrecks whatever gotchas the host had planned for him. In this case, Vance went through three shows.

In a major order filed Tuesday in the $1 billion defamation case against CNN, and exclusively obtained by NewsBusters, Judge William Scott Henry of Florida’s 14th Circuit Court threw out CNN’s desperate attempt to cite Taliban Sharia law in their defense. Judge Henry also ordered that Plaintiff and Navy veteran Zachary Young “did not act illegally or criminally.”

On CNN's State of the Union, Jake Tapper is obsessed with Arnold Palmer's junk, referring to it no fewer than four times. Speaker Mike Johnson eventually has to beg Tapper not to say it again.

According to court documents exclusively obtained by NewsBusters, CNN has apparently requested the court to seal mentions and quotes from their journalistic standards, effectively barring them from being viewed by the public in the $1 billion defamation suit against the Cable News Network. Hiding their journalistic standards from the people who are supposed to trust them as a news source is…

The $1 billion defamation suit against CNN continued to chug along in the background as the presidential election and world events take center stage. But on Tuesday, Florida 14th Circuit judge William Scott Henry cleared the way for Plaintiff and U.S. Navy veteran Zachary Young to use legal force to compel CNN to turn over financial documents and to subpoena their parent company Warner Bros.…

When “slick” is the best pejorative Democrats and the media can come up with for you, you know you’ve had a good debate.

The opening video package on this week’s CNN State of the Union aired a weird little montage that, while specifically critical of certain rhetoric aired on the stump by Former President Donald Trump, subliminally suggests that “dark days” await the country should he be re-elected.

One can determine whether a piece of information is damaging to Democrats in power. Judging by the Sunday shows’ response to reports that over 13,000 illegal aliens convicted of murder were released into the interior of the United States: extremely damaging.
