Jake Tapper: Trump WH ‘un-American’ for blocking CNN from press gaggle
CNN, the outlet now known as the least-trusted name in cable news, isn’t having a good day and is lashing out like a collection of spoiled, petulant children. After being blocked from a White House press gaggle, Jake Tapper went on the warpath, calling the administration “un-American.”
“The White House does not value an independent press. There is a word for that: Un-American,” Tapper tweeted:

Naturally, the tweet sparked a flurry of criticism:
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Is whining like a little girl American, @TheLeadCNN @jaketapper?

One person reminded Tapper:
Really? Obama selectively blocked media numerous times and you know it.

Can you say, “Fox News?”
And where was Tapper? Inquiring minds wanted to know:

No bias there, right, Jake?

How about it, Jake?
Since when CNN became an 'indepenent' press? Desinformation factory.

As we’ve reported time and again, the so-called “mainstream media,” known here as the “Democrat-media complex,” has gone out of its way to manipulate the electorate with pro-Clinton or anti-Trump propaganda. Now that Trump has won, the complex is all-in to undermine and destroy his presidency, truth be damned.

And that’s the problem.
Yes, we have a free press, Jake. But if you want respect, you have to first give it and show that you’re worthy of it. So far, your network has failed.
