im a retired newspaper journalist. i once defended jake as a decent reporter, so far as CNN journalism goes. and now im eating crow. Jake, u already have yr own show. u dont need to grand stand because, for one, its not growing yr base. 600 thousand viewers plus or minus. cartoon networks beat u in the same time slot. go back to what helped u get u there: just the facts ma’am. yr audience has shown they dont care about yr “conclusions.” report the facts and allow us to draw our own conclusions.

Jake Tapper is one of the few male broadcasters on CNN who have a PERSONALITY.
This makes him a wee bit more watchable than the others.

Mr . Tapper is currently getting sued together with cnn for at least. Ab billion dollars for airing a false story intended to smear a Afghanistan rescue group, so here goes your cnn reporter with personality.

Keep having Kasie Hunt on your show. She knows more about politics and can articulate it extremely well....not like Tucker who absorbed Bill Reilly's audience!!

All these numbers are 6 figures. Are these community run stations?

Jake will tell you he doesn't care about ratings - he only cares about "journalistic integrity"...

...not sure what's more laughable - his ratings or that statement! LOL!!!!

I still prefer watching the news with Jake, than any other journalist. He always seems sincere.

Down 34% this week there, Fake. That sad sack negative reporting style is wearing thin for the audience Fake Tapper, not to mention your liberal advertising sponsors…..not exactly getting their monies worth.

Will Jake Tapper's self adulation be his final demise?

Jake, you are catching the "umm" virus as shown in your broadcast with the inauguration, please be aware this is an annoying habit and very "bush league" and not typical in your presentations.
