Wednesday's CNN town hall to promote gun control and gun grabbing was off the rails from the very start.

CNN Panel Chastises GOP for Using 'Innuendo' to 'Tar and Feather' FBI
January 26th, 2018 12:42 AM
In a remarkably oblivious segment during CNN’s The Lead on Thursday, host Jake Tapper and his panel ripped into Congressional Republicans for rushing to use the missing FBI text messages and ‘selective leaks’ to claim conspiracy. The exchange was mind-boggling since CNN conducted its brand of journalism in a similar fashion. It actually allowed them to win three out of their four trophies in…

January 12th, 2018 1:42 PM
CNN anchor Jake Tapper appeared on the show Late Night with liberal NBC talk-show Seth Meyers in the early hours of Friday morning. Unsurprisingly, Meyers gave Tapper a kind of victory lap for the contentious Sunday talking-over-each-other interview with Trump aide Stephen Miller.
