Excerpt:

The thought experiment, though, is that Tapper’s tweet about “this president” and believing in press freedom even “when it is not your guy who is in the White House” is actually a quote lifted directly from a 2013 blog post warning about the precedent set by the Obama administration when it labeled Fox News’s James Rosen a “co-conspirator” and seized the phone records of Rosen’s parents. So “this president,” in context of the tweet, is Barack Obama.

But you’d have to click the linked blog post to get it. Pretty sneaky, Tapper.

Why does Tapper suppose all of those mindless idiot leftists assumed he were talking about Trump? Why wouldn't they, after 16 months of non-stop conditioning by he and his media comrades?

He set them up to make fools of themselves. If they'd followed the link then they'd have known.
