REPORT: Jake Tapper Gets Major Warning From Network Brass About ‘Pre-Judging’ Trump

The long-simmering war between President Donald Trump and CNN entered a new phase this week when a top network executive reportedly warned anchor Jake Tapper about “pre-judging” Trump and putting their team in legal jeopardy once again.

Tapper, fresh off losing a defamation lawsuit brought by Navy veteran Zachary Young, was effectively singled out in a Sunday editorial call led by CNN CEO Mark Thompson. There, Thompson told journalists that “pre-judging Trump” on the basis of his past criminal conviction, other cases, or pre-inaugural statements and actions would be a disservice to their institution — and viewers.

Going forward, said the network honcho, CNN’s coverage should not aim to “relitigate the past” and should instead focus on what Trump has done in three days since taking office, including the signing of over 100 executive orders stripping birthright citizenship, empowering a host of federal agents to arrest illegal immigrants, and shuttering diversity, equity, and inclusion departments across the federal government.

Tapper was joined by fellow anchor Anderson Cooper, who has extensively covered President Trump’s J6 investigation and criminal trials and has not hesitated to editorialize about them on-air.

Nolte: Disgraced, Far-left CNN to Lay off Hundreds as Viewership Collapses

John Nolte 23 Jan 2025

CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and political violence, is set to lay off hundreds, according to various reports that have me so excited I’m having to call my doctor every four hours.

“CNN is reportedly set to lay off ‘hundreds’ of employees in the early days of President Trump’s second administration,” reports Fox Business. “CEO Mark Thompson will announce to his staff about the network cuts on Thursday[.]”

Naturally, over at CNN, the rich stay rich: Per CNBC, these layoffs “won’t affect CNN’s most recognizable names, who are under contract.”

Gee, Jake Tapper could do a lot of good if he were willing to contribute just half of his reported annual $7 million salary to save those jobs. But he won’t because he loves the troops.

    The layoffs come as CNN is rearranging its linear TV lineup and building out digital subscription products. The cuts will help CNN lower production costs and consolidate teams, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss nonpublic changes.

    Certain shows that are produced in New York or Washington may move to Atlanta, where production can be done more cheaply, said the people.

Back to Atlanta, you go.

As Breitbart News reported previously, if you wanted to buy CNN in 2021, it would’ve cost you $4.4 billion. Today, you can buy the fake outlet for about half that: $2.3 billion.

Why?
