Oliver Darcy Blasts CNN’s Coverage of Trump’s Inauguration – Jake Tapper Was Only ‘Physically Present’

EXCERPT:

DARCY: “And watching this second term begin, those anchors were still physically present on my screen, like, Jake Tapper was still there, but it felt like a very different Jake Tapper. And that’s not an accident. That’s the direction that new network chief Mark Thompson wants to take the network. Jeff Zucker, who was the network chief when AT&T owned the company, he really encouraged anchors to be relentless, to be vocal about the lies that Donald Trump is pushing. Mark Thompson had is anchors gathered for a Sunday afternoon meeting, and he made it very clear that he did not want to focus on those things, he wanted to look forward. He said the network should be open-minded about Trump and show him a little deference. It’s just a very different CNN in tone than it was four years ago.”
