'This is glorious': Jake Tapper OWNS lefty trolls over diversity of Sunday show guests

Think Progress’ Judd Legum and Media Matters’ Oliver Willis attempted to team up on CNN’s Jake Tapper over a perceived lack of diversity when it comes to which guests appear on the Sunday talk shows.

the problem is these shows set the agenda and guest lists are way imbalanced on race, gender http://t.co/oUq8VIIbDp https://t.co/OnQiCTXnGT

Featured guests on big 5 Sunday shows today (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN):

11 Men

1 Woman

Tapper had none of it.

@JuddLegum i'm new to the Sunday world but we're looking for newsmakers and presidential candidates. Hillary Clinton more than welcome.

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015

@JuddLegum also: Nikki Haley, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein… But they have to say yes

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015

In order to book a guest, the prospective guest has to agree to come on the show. Apparently that’s a tough one for Legum and Willis to understand.

@owillis @JuddLegum I can't help it if the entire Democratic field is white. Do I get points for interviewing Cruz, Carson and Rubio?

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015

Game. Set. Match.

@owillis @JuddLegum is that your go to word when somebody says something you don't have an answer for?

— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015

Yep, it’s pretty standard for the Left to start calling names when their argument starts going down in flames.

Yes @jaketapper just won Twitter. @owillis @JuddLegum

Another reason why @jaketapper is one of the few REAL journalists left. https://t.co/bExPzz96gP

What you are seeing in this Tapper v Willis/Legum argument is a fight between integrity and hackery, with the predictable result.
