Jake Tapper can't stop thinking about journos who 'feel zero responsibility' for misinforming the public about COVID19, gets reminded about where he works

Earlier today, CNN anchor Jake Tapper tweeted about COVID19 victims of media and political bad-faith actors:

Practically every day I see a tweet or blog post about someone who wrongly thought COVID-19 was a hoax dying of COVID-19 and all I can think about are the members of the media and politicians who mis-informed that person and who assuredly feel zero responsibility.

We’re guessing Tapper didn’t have CNN in mind when he referred to “members of the media […] who misinformed that person and who assuredly feel zero responsibility.” But that’s OK, because plenty of others did.

Didn’t CNN call Trump racist when he stopped flights from China? https://t.co/vspCvCOszE

Clean up your own house, Jake.

I wonder why more people didn't take this serious when the corporate press decided to focus on virtue signaling rather than informing us of the dangers posed by a novel virus spreading like wildfire. https://t.co/NGAusA3y35

It really is a mystery.
