High profile reporter

November 28, 2009

Jake Tapper is a hard hitting reporter and his posts
show his print, broadcast and online experience.

Many people supported him when he demanded the White
House to apologize for saying Fox News is not a
"legitimate news organization".

Unbiased and to the Point

June 22, 2009

I watch Jake Tapper almost every morning on Good
Morning America, and while, he mistakes ‘crumpets’
for ‘crimpets’ he is definitely a reliable news
source.

His reporting is often very informative, straight to
the point and on target. He helps that he is very
intelligent and comes off that way. Jake’s definitely
not one of those ‘talking heads’ who make you
wonder, ‘how did he get that job?’ – no, because
you know why: Jake Tapper is simply great at what he
does.
