Was just watching Jake Tapper discuss Paris with Rand Paul. Tapper did terrible!

When the deniers start talking about past climates and raise doubts news folks need to fucking shut them down hard not let them give out their misinformation. Tapper needed to say "Sorry, I need to stop you right there you fucking piece of shit! Every scientific organization on the planet from NASA, NOAA, IPCC, National Academy of Scientists, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. know you are full of shit and they know very well what the mechanisms were for climate change in the past and that if anything based on the milankovitch cycles we should be cooling right now not warming at an unprecedented rate that obliterates any warming trends in the past. What you are saying is false! Your simply wrong as fuck now shut the fuck up ass hole and take a fucking science class and quit taking money from all the coal companies in Kentucky you crooked, corrupt piece of shit.

1. Our media is mostly overmatched these days.

2. I reminded of the Don Henley song with a lot of the anchors on cable news networks

"I could have been an actor but I wound up here". Seems to be few journalist left any more on television. Just over tanned pretty faces and people reporting what someone said on twitter.

4. It makes me wonder if CNN tells them to not be too hard on them so they will come back

I would not be capable of holding back like that. It would drive me crazy.

3. Absolutely correct

He's mostly ordinary - one of the masters of 'on the one hand and on the other' when facts demolish the other.

5. Jake Tapper is a conservative

he grew up in Philly, where I believe both his parents were doctors,

I believe he worked on my college conservatives news channel throughout college.


After conservatives were upset At Candybar Cowley, correcting Romney for his false "never called the terrorism" accusation, they put pressure to remove her and got conservative replacement.

Notice almost everybody on CNN. These days are column writers from the Washington Examiner, the New York Post of Washington.

I see him with Republicans: oh, really, can you expand on that?
I see him with Democrats: that's nice, but it didn't answer my question.

Obviously both politicians are trying not to answer the hard questions
