Jake Tapper Angrily Demands That CNN's Control Room Stop Airing the News of Trump's Appearance in the Diner

I kept a post up too long because I was waiting for Trump to speak.

It wasn't because I support Trump -- I'm tired of his drama, and want DeSantis to win the nomination. It wasn't because I thought Trump would make new news in a statement. I figured he'd say pretty much the same things he'd written in his "Truths."

But it has been accepted journalistic practice that after a high-profile arrest or arraignment, you air the statement of the accused. The prosecution/the state gets its say, and then the accused gets his own say.

That's fairness, and that's been the uncontested rule for almost all of American history.

Until yesterday, when Fake Jake Tapper -- who fancies himself a Hard News Man -- angrily snapped at CNN's control room that they must stop airing live news so they could get back to the important non-news of Jake and his biased panel (including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez!) offering their opinions and political beliefs.

Ben Collins of MSNBC/NBC "News" is that organization's Chief Deplatforming Officer. That means, like Oliver Darcy, his "news" beat is finding people who disagree with him online and then petitioning social media companies to censor and deplatform and maybe even de-bank that person.

On Friday, he was, of course, given a "Walter Cronkite Award" for Courage in Cocksuckery or whatever.

He was given this award because "journalists" want to proclaim that this is their job -- not the boring repetition of who said what, but the exalted position of being High Priests of the Cult of "Truth," deciding for the world what is true and what is false, and what is sayable and what is forbidden.

Leftists almost immediately took over all content moderation jobs on the internet, and soon after, began banning everyone who dared to issue a non-leftist opinion.

And leftists really liked that. They really liked their bubbles.

But they've grown angry that they are protected from opinions they don't like only in 95% of media and social media venues. They want this protection extended everywhere, including into the real world.

They are day-by-day extendkng the regime of aggressive, punitive content "moderation" from message boards and social media to the real world, and banning people for saying things in real life that The Regime does not approve of.

And Ben Collins got his "Cronkite Award" because that's his job, and he's viciously eager to do it. Just like a Nazi concentration camp kapo.

Jake Tapper is plainly very enthusiastic about this redefinition of his job, too.

And Oliver Darcy?

Well, Oliver Darcy is special, isn't she?
