WingNuts Love Jake Tapper

How embarrassing should it be for a member of the mainstream media to be called out by name on right wing radio as someone who will easily fall for and spread their propaganda? Just ask Jake Tapper.

Step 2: Right-Wing Pressures White House Reporters To Take Up Its Attack

After the story was cooked up by right-wing hate radio, it was peddled to members of the White House press corps, at least one of whom took the bait. On his radio show on Friday, right-wing talker Mark Levin discussed Lauria’s claims against Obama, and then called on his listeners to pressure the White House press corps — specifically ABC’s Jake Tapper — to report the story:

LEVIN: Somebody needs to pursue what’s going on in the White House behind the scenes! And stop playing games and making nice! American citizens — whatever walk of life they’re in — should not be threatened by the White House! Should not be told we’re going to drag you through the mud with the White House press corps! So confident is the White House that they have the White House press corps wrapped around their little finger! Maybe Jake Tapper will take a look at this. Ask that doofus — Gibbs.

Jake Tapper is now official the go to guy for the wingnutosphere. I can only imagine how proud that makes him.
