    Jake Tapper smacks down Fox and Friends for downplaying bombshell Russia hearing https://www.rawstory.com/2017/03/fa...nds-for-downplaying-bombshell-russia-hearing/

    On Monday, FBI director James Comey confirmed that the FBI had launched an investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. The news, delivered during a House Intelligence Committee hearing, seemed to support concerns that members of the Trump team may have colluded with Russia to sway the 2016 election.

    But on Fixed News Channel, the hearing didn’t make much of a splash. Fox and Friends blew off the news with the following tweet:

    ✔@foxandfriends


    If you missed yesterday's congressional hearing with FBI Dir. James Comey, you didn't miss much...

    In response, CNN’s Jake Tapper had this to say:

    Jake Tapper

    ✔@jaketapper

    False. Quite consequential. FBI confirmed it is investigating whether Trump campaign coordinated with Russia. https://twitter.com/foxandfriends/status/844126949693784064 …

    Mmmm. I guess? I mean Fox & Friends is beyond belief inane - even by the low standards of fox, it's for the dullards who need their crapaganda served with a side of stupid. I shudder to think of the type of F&F functionary who has been delegated with the weighty responsibility of running its twitter account, but ....they're probably not worth even mentioning.

    I don't have all that much respect for CNN, but good for Jake Tapper. F&F should be called out all the time.

    Political news should have never metastasized into commenting about the networks or journalists themselves.
