With his repertoire of sullen facial expressions as he confronts the latest whopper emanating from Donald Trump’s White House, it’s not hard to guess what Jake Tapper is thinking. “I’m trying to keep my face as neutral as possible,” the CNN anchor protested on Wednesday, the morning after his epic, 25-minute televised clash with presidential counselor Kellyanne Conway—in which the usually feisty Conway wilted under fire as Tapper repeatedly called out her boss for what he politely referred to as “falsehoods.” “Sometimes I’ll have a reaction to something that’s said because sometimes people say things that are legitimately surprising,” Tapper told The Daily Beast, explaining his spritzed-by-cold-water response—an eye-blink, followed by a head-shake, the universal signifier of WTF—when Conway tried to defend a White House list of supposedly “under-reported” terrorist attacks that CNN and other … [Read more...] about Jake Tapper, CNN’s Resident BS Detector, on How to Hold President Trump to Account

Roger Ailes passed away on May 20, 2017, but more than a year later his fingerprints remain all over America’s political and media landscapes. The strategist-turned-mogul who built Fox News into a conservative powerhouse—and then an outright propagandistic tool of the Republican Party and its current leader, President Donald J.
