On Monday, CNN’s Jake Tapper found one of the most biased guests he could find to help provide ‘analysis’ on the growing Ilhan Omar story. Tapper and Marc Elias proxy, Skye Perryman, framed the investigation exactly how you would expect. It’s almost as if two highly biased Democrats got together and broke down this legal action on-air. Oh, wait, that’s exactly what happened!
Here’s more. (READ)
Jake Tapper "analysis" on the Omar story with his guest Skye Perryman.
Who is Perryman? The CEO of Marc Elias' lawfare outfit Democracy Forward.
That's right.
So guess how this went:
Tapper: "Seems rather vindictive."Perryman: "Partisan. Racism. Xenophobia."
Tapper: "It doesn't look like a legitimate law enforcement action."
Legacy Media's coverage of this story was fully explained in less than 40 seconds.
This is basically the same formula all ‘journalists’ are plugging the story details into. (WATCH)

Tapper is a POS. They’ll hurl around a few buzzwords then move along on post haste.

No one is above the law, Tapper.
I'd have more respect for him if he just told the truth about who he is instead of his absurd 'journalist' charade

Tapper will maintain the lie until he finally signs off at CNN.
Commenters noticed that the ‘analysis’ differs depending on the party of those being investigated.
But rummage through Melania’s underwear drawer before dawn? “Totally legit.”

Hopefully the FBI has what it needs, this time.
Nothing partisan or vindictive there. No one is above the law, remember?

Played like a script.
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) October 13, 2026
Because it basically was one.
Script? Well, Tapper and his Democrat guests are always on the same page.
Last month, Perryman was promising retaliation against those who worked in and with the Trump administration. (WATCH)
Skye Perryman, CEO of Marc Elias' lawfare outfit Democracy Forward:

“We want to send a message that if you are going to aid and abet a corrupt administration that is seeking to harm the American people, your name is going to be revealed. You can’t hide in this time.”

Same network has been railing against politically motivated legal reprisals for two straight years. Good now, though.
It doesn’t matter which network; they'll be applying a double standard that favors the Democrats.
Others see it. As the story was breaking, Republican Marc Short told it like it is on CNN. (WATCH)

Short n Sweet. They never like when the tables turn back at them.

They purport to be unbiased and can’t stand being called out for they double standards

They hate it and know it’s true. But they’ll never stop being duplicitous hacks. Ever.
