How long will liberals continue their “state-run TV mantra” before they realize it isn’t working?
CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Tuesday took indirect aim at Fox News and other right-leaning outlets, insinuating they’re doing their jobs improperly if the president favors their work.
If you’re a news organization and the folks in power are constantly praising you, you’re doing it wrong. By definition.

“If you’re a news organization and the folks in power are constantly praising you, you’re doing it wrong,” Tapper wrote. “By definition.”
Tapper’s remark echoed the sentiment of other left-wing commentators, who have accused Fox News of biased coverage favorable to the Republican president. CNN’s Don Lemon last week called Fox News “state-run TV.”
Responding to Tapper, actor James Woods delivered a scathing rebuke of the mainstream media’s coverage of former President Barack Obama.
Your head was so far up Obama’s ass, you got whiplash every time he stopped short. #StopTalking https://t.co/PFrtpwU6C1

“Your head was so far up Obama’s ass, you got whiplash every time he stopped short,” Woods fired back, closing with the hashtag “#StopTalking.”
Tapper replied to another Twitter user who brought up Obama.
It means you don’t know what you’re talking about if you think the Obama WH praised me.

Others offered similar criticism of Tapper and CNN.
Lol so youre admitting youve done it wrong for at least 8 years? Seriously – you are out of touch.

Jake, #cnn spent more time talking about Trump’s eating KFC with a fork than his speeches or successes during the election. You know it.

So for the past 8 years you weren’t news?

What if you’re a news organization that is hated by the masses ? What are you doing right then ?

James Woods’ followers responded with more colorful mocking of the CNN anchor.

On Monday, Eric Trump called CNN “totally irrelevant” upon tweeting out a ratings report that showed Fox has more top 20 news programs than CNN.
Congratulations @FoxNews: Fox has 15 of the top 20 shows with @SeanHannity and @TuckerCarlson leading the pack at 1st and 2nd respectively. CNN has become totally irrelevant, down 19% from last year with only 1 show in the Top 25 (#24th). pic.twitter.com/5IcwYEbFRR

If anyone is “doing it wrong,” it’s CNN.
