JOURNALISM! CNN's Jake Tapper says for tens of millions of Americans their 'long national nightmare is now over'

The Trump campaign is continuing to contest the election results in several states via legal action, but that hasn’t stopped numerous media outlets — the A.P. and Fox News being among the latest — to call the race in favor of Joe Biden.

On CNN, Jake Tapper, whose summary of the last four years sounded as if it was written by the DNC, paraphrased Gerald Ford to close things out:

“It must be said. To paraphrase President Ford, for tens of millions of Americans, ‘our long national nightmare is over.’” —@jaketapper just now on CNN

“For tens of millions of Americans, the nightmare is over,” says Tapper, quoting Ford. https://t.co/jvLLhoRr9h

And yet the press still wonders why Trump accusing the media of being biased hacks resonates with so many people?

.@jaketapper's brand of "objective journalism" sounds an awful lot like state-run TV. ? Thanks for highlighting it, Mrs Brian Stelter. https://t.co/pn9CruMc0h

And for tens of millions of others “our long national nightmare has just begun”. But @jaketapper won’t report that. Lol

But “journalists don’t take sides,” or something.
