Tapper is really getting in his feelings lately, even in the comments, and he's looking like a fool.
Piers Morgan is leaving ITV's Good Morning Britain following 41k complaints to Ofcom (UK broadcasting regulator) filed by the public

Sad!
A *little* surprised that Terry Christian doesn't have a Blue Tick.
and one black man is responbile for the state of America and only he can fix it
Probably doesn’t care to ask for one.
Even a stopped clock punches the right cunt sometimes.
But he's still as much of a piece of shit as Morgan is. People need to remember that.
Jake Tapper currently losing his mind on Twitter. He just doesn't seem to get that OFCOM are not a government agency even though hundreds and hundreds of people are explaining it to him.
Have I Got News For You - Piers Morgan destroyed by Ian Hislop & Clive Anderson
Piers Morgan tries to outwit Ian Hislop & Clive Anderson and fails miserably on both countsIn this vintage episode of Have I Got News For You (#HIGNIFY), we ...

Well of course he is. Let's not forget "Catch a..." and punching a producer and so on and so on...
Is this Little Nightmares 3?
The replies to his tweet are killing me.
He worse IMO. Jeremy has resorted to violence several times in his life. Morgan ironically was a victim of it. One of the instances of violence got him kicked out of Top Gear. Thankfully their show on Amazon has been shit.
I can only imagine Piers Morgan is still employable because of the dirt he collected during his tabloid editor days. Which he obviously didn't acquire through phone hacking.
No one should be praising Jeremy Clarkson for any punching. The fallout came from Piers hinting at his proclivities for young Asian women while filming abroad.

To be charitable, I assume he's reading too much into the reporting around the amount of complaints and presuming that Ofcom complaints being high = someone gets sacked/gets forced out.
And that's not the case - Ofcom routinely get thousands of complaints about a single program and nothing happens (see the ridiculous complaint about a dance on Britain's Got Talent or a myriad of other things prompted by silly things).
Whereas this is likely a combination of Morgan (rightfully) getting a lot of heat over this, and the broadcaster just deeming it to be unacceptable and him being told to wise up.
Not really sure why else Tapper would be coming at it from another angle.
Edit: From reading a few tweets on it, it feels like he's under the belief that Ofcom is directly connected to the Government, as opposed to being an independent regulator.
Pretty sure they have more independence than he's implying there too!

I don't often follow Piers, royals or UK stuff generally. Can someone please explain the reference to the apparent heels obsession?

American journalists have a bizarre and unique view of the world and media. It’s not really similar anywhere else, because they both view every word they utter as unsanctionable in any respect but also that their job is to be a neutral mirror. Literally Tappers words - he aims to hold a mirror up to his subject in an interview and let the viewer make an informed decision.
A significant number of American journalists don’t vote because they think it would taint their journalistic neutrality and integrity.

Yeah, well, the gubment fired Bill O'Reilly for freeze peach too.
If memory serves me it's do with stupid shit that the daily mail and the mail online posted about her feet etc. Just your basic gutter journalism.
He’s ended it with “well, agree to disagree”. Bit pathetic.
Yep, the newspapers are dying but most of them now have much bigger online platforms, not to mention the "news cycle" where the papers dictate TV news and the papers report on the TV news. Like an ouroboros of cunts.
looks like a Cold War Steve

I know a lot of U.K. journalists who cover politics that do the same for the same reason.
I generally respect Tapper and consider him a good guy.
But.....there is nothing wrong with what that comment said to him, it is 100% correct.
Tapper, like the rest of the media, are smelling their own fart supply.
Do better Tapper.
I just edited into my post above, but for visibility here, I think he's simply mistaken about what Ofcom does/what role they play.
I also believe they're far more independent than he's implying.
Probably just a good example of someone talking about something which they're unfamiliar with!
Either way it's a bad look. Like pick your battles Tapper. I am so tired of the idea that the American idea of "free speech" is the end all when there are obviously some very serious fucking problems when half of your country wants to over throw the government based on literal fake news and racism is running rampant and has been a pillar of your society since its formation.
I agree.
The lack of self-awareness it takes to walk right into such an obvious clapback.
Folks need to know how to question the right things, that i why i didn't fuck with the ACLU. They were in service to an idea and not helping people. Get a prisoner off deathrow, then turn around and help the Klan have a parade? Nah, I am not down with that. I am glad they had a come to jesus moment after charlotteville. You need to have that moment asking yourself does it has to be that way.
I didn't really look into it much I admit but I had noticed that the ACLU had seemed to move away from concerning themselves with the rights of White Supremacists. I used to often hate what they stood for as I recall but certainly within the last two years or so they seem to pretty much land exactly where my mindset is every time.
Goddamn, Cold War Steve works fast.
The replies to his tweet are killing me.
Oh yeah, it looks foolish regardless - but just thought it was some useful context as to why he's posting about it. I was a bit confused at the initial tweet.
I mean, I don't like the idea of a Government having direct oversight of media either, like he seems to think is the case here.
But regardless, that isn't the case (and regulations are fine to have), and Tapper could've found that out by doing some very quick research.
Of course, I'm being charitable and just assuming he's jumped into a big topic and made himself look a bit foolish.

The Jake Tappers of the world don’t exist without the platforming and normalization of bigots. He has no role and no professional value without the foils to which he can pretend to be a reasonable man in the middle, whether it is right wing media or the right wing bigots mainstream media keeps on their payroll or gives free advertising to on their 24-hour hellscapes they call news channels.
Piers Morgan, or rather his equivalents in US media, are the only source from which Jake Tapper can derive purpose and accumulate wealth. He’s complicit.

he is pressed, I can't always spot a nigga that is twitter pressed. Did he start liking and retweeting folks that agree with him
Not that I've seen. And honestly on another look at it that tweet may be him saying "here is what people are telling me, make up your own mind".
But, he's not doing a very good job making the point. I mean this is literally what he does for a living so it's weird to see him failing at is so badly if that's the case.
I am broke as fuck and i don't argue with people on twitter, damn if i do it making 6 figures( i assume)
Losing battle and ultimately pointless. I have never walked away from a twitter argument feeling like I accomplished something. You never know how genuine people are anyway and most are just looking for a reaction.
Tapper and the American media at large haven't learned their fucking lesson under Trump. I bet you they feel they had no hand in normalizing him.
Tapper is in his feelings because he's worried someday this could be him. That people aren't just going to take shit the media says without at least telling them how wrong they are.
Now he's fucking acting brand new. As if the shit that get said on TV can't potentially be dangerous.

It is a time and energy leech, but some people are addicted to the rush
He always had a strong disregard for strong independent women who have a voice and use for some reason.
I only hear about him when he's trashtalking Meghan, Madonna or most female entertainers.
His Madonna obsession has been going on for DECADES, since 1993 when she refused him an interview.
This was him calling her a grandma, when she was 35 years old and "too old" apparently:
Remember when he said he "remained skeptical about Madonna & Lady Gaga's claims" about their respective rapes?
And doing stuff like this live on his show?
And obsessing about the fact he can't count and decided to compare his followers with hers?
There are other examples:

His twitter is basically him hating on more powerful women than he will ever be.
Meghan is just the newest, freshest target.
I spoke about Madonna because it's a scary obsession that's going on for decades. Not even sure if she shouldn't get a restraining order, lmao

It's almost bordering on delusion.
People (even with coveted blue checks) are taking blistering examples of how American news media is borderline unfunctional, including examples from his own network, and not only does he continue to engage, but his response is also essentially "I pretend I do not see it."
