Jake Tapper Slaps Trump With A Reminder Of What Journalists Do After He Rants At CNN
The CNN star had enough of the president vilifying the network and reporter Natasha Bertrand for her report on the bombing of Iran.

". . . . . . . .In an impassioned address, Tapper outlined Trump’s mode of attacking the messenger and branding outlets that reported the analysis as unpatriotic and disrespectful to the military.

The anchor reminded Trump of the Fourth Estate’s goal.

"“Our obligation as journalists is not to praise President Trump, or protect his feelings, or to disparage him, or to praise him for that matter,” Tapper said. “Our obligation is to report facts. In this case, the fact is that an initial DIA intel assessment out of [Defense] Secretary Pete Hegseth’s own Pentagon exists. And that’s not going to change, no matter how many insults Trump levels.” . . . . . ."
