What an ass beating!?! Speaking truth to FNN:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/01/07/stephen_miller_battles_cnns_jake_tapper_in_trump_tweet-approved_interview.html

You must have been watching something other than what I saw, if you saw it at all. Miller just did what he's done since childhood, which always left him playing in the sandbox all by himself!

I loved that he threw CNN's fake news back in Tapper's face time after time, specifically citing all there bogus and horrific reporting recently. Watching Tapper squirm was priceless as he had no answers.

Every time his lips moved, I could tell he was lying.  He is no more than a mindless sycophant.  Miller would eat Trump's doo doo, and swear it was chocolate pudding!  The world would know better, but Miller would come back for seconds!

I hope Jack didn't try saying that with a straight face! Oh well, we'll never know will we?

...trying to get over all the wedgies he got in school as well as all the times his lunch money was stolen.  He's still sucking up to the bullies (like Trump) in the hopes that they won't kick his ass.

He let Miller get under his skin. Tapper was acting partisan and was condescending. Good reporters shelve their personal animus.

The very definition of suckhole..

...it doesn't matter what Stephen Miller is arguing he is totally incapable of dialog, his only defense of his position is to talk over whoever is on the other side of the conversation as a method of diversion, only fools believe that this kind of behavior wins the argument. Jake  Tapper exercised an extraordinary level of patience with Miller if I were in Tappers position I would have ended the interview far sooner.

I do view Tapper as a journalist and not an entertainer, per se. He was impatient and snarky and he made himself part of the story. He shouldn't be mocking his guest, no matter what he feels personally about him or her. Tapper is not a partisan but I would be willing to bet he wasn't pleased with his performance. He is very good and just had an off interview, in my opinion.

So clearly Trump and his supporters are not paying attention to their own bs network. Lol

Miller is nothing more than a lap dog.  Simply pitiful!  Another example of Trump-ites claiming to be the sane, adults in the room, and behaving like unpolished, rude, maniacs to make their point--pure example of cognitive dissonance!

did an excellent job--if you consider politicking to be the next grand wizard of the KKK something worthwhile.  Could tell he had a screw loose, but never realized his mental deficiency went way back to his days in middle school and left a trail right through Duke University.

I was just making the point he was coming across as partisan in this particular interview. We both agree that disrespecting his guest is unprofessional and I was quite surprised he did so.  
It is nice to see a Democrat like yourself be non-partisan about this subject. The board seems to be completely polarized one way or the other.

if he truly was intelligent, he would not be wasting his time tweeting such foolishness.  What intelligent person, allows something he professes to be so wrong, to dominate his every waking thought/moment?

no matter what side of the aisle they're on. If you noticed the following interview with Adam Schiff, he quartered him about his speculating why the JD was re-opening investigations into Hillary. He asked on what basis he arrived at his opinion, and it became clear that there was not much of substance, he was able to, or willing to reveal, upon which his opinion rested on.

to argue that you are in full control of your faculties!

I want a hard, tough, interview regardless of the guest's political identification. But when it becomes personal, and the comments become snarky, he loses his professionalism to a degree. I first read about the interview on the Hill so please find the column attached.
The statements I had problems with were these Mattradd:
1) “I get it. There’s one viewer that you care about right now and you're being obsequious and you’re being a factotum in order to please him, OK,” Tapper said on "State of the Union," appearing to reference the president.
2) "After returning from a commercial break, Tapper appeared to chide Miller, telling viewers, “welcome back to 'State of the Union' and to planet Earth.”

I consider myself a "Progressive" and not a Democrat. The DNC has let me down on many occasions, but my liberalism never does.  
We are in total agreement about the polarization of the board and I make an effort to see the other side of the aisle's view, as I am not in lock step with everything my party does and I will speak up when I am in disagreement.  
I would hope we could all get there one day, but sometimes I do get caught up in the hyper partisanship world we live in too.
Enjoy your evening.

Take a bow...Only a true trump supporter would have loved this. What I saw was that Miller wasn't going to interact with Tapper. Miller was avoiding answering the questions in detail, just spouting off how great trump is and just talking over Tapper. Miller was like a robot, echoing how great trump is as if trump was doing the interview. Trying to please the man at the WH, sitting on his sofa, chowing down on his Cheetos.  
I lost track watching this heartless dead soul with the look of a man who has been embalmed with trump. His dead pan eyes had one mission, to discredit CNN and the book. No common dialect, he was going to hijack this interview...I knew where this interview was going.Tapper should have pulled the plug sooner, he gave him way too much time. Now, all Miller's done is regulate him to only fox, he's become the another version of Kellyanne Conway...a persona non grata by the mainstream media

Miller did not state one single fact or specific reference to Wolfes book that he claimed was false.  All he did was regurgitate his sycophantic Trump dogma and came off looking completely insane - again!

The lame stream media shouldn't be determining anyone as a "persona non grata" in politics as that is NOT there job. It is there job to REPORT the news, and not choose sides and BECOME the news, like Tapper did.

They should have left the cameras rolling. Lol

He doesn't understand the concept of an interview!

Aren't you describing exactly what one would expect from a troll?  No true intent on addressing the subject at hand--only absurd, irrelevant, inflammatory falsehoods to see how many will fall for the bait!

Thanks for the reminder!

I forgot that was one of my New Year's Resolutions for 2017. It's clear I'm going to have to carry it over to 2018!

Tapper lost his cool. That is ok. He is human. But some on this thread have lost their ability to analyze the fourth estates job. You are 100% correct. It is not the role of the media to determine winners or losers. It is their job to give all the pertinent info to the viewer and let him or her decide.

It was clear to anyone, who was not a political hack, that Miller had no intention to be interviewed, but to use the opportunity to be on TV for his, and his master's own political purpose.

Isn't the object of an interview, with a reporter, is to get the guest's opinion and not the other way around?

You'll find the answer!

But I agree with you, and I'd rather have seen Tapper let Miller vapor on and then point out: "You realize you haven't remotely answered my question? I'll let you try again, but if you keep filibustering I'm going to have to end this interview."
Why is it Miller looks alarmingly like the guy on the right?

By injecting his snide comments, he lost what clearly would have been the upper hand. In sports parlance, he "played down to his competition." Great point!

you, Orange Organism and rest of your ilk live in.

First they must be creditable, and have a little cache, which Miller had neither. And it is there job, to get the truth, something you're not accustom to getting being glued to fox. Miller was not going to report the news in accordance to the book, he was like the walking National Enquirer on air, but that's probably a publication you subscribe to..
Sorry to say but that's one of the rules, they must be creditable, or they become "persona non grata", well except on fox.You may be used to having someone piss on your face and have them tell you it's raining...
And I doubt you'll see Miller again on TV except on fox...And did you hear that he refused to leave and they had to call security to remove him...what a guy.

This has NOTHING to do with Fox so not sure why you are so unhinged by mentioning them THREE times and diverting from CNN's fuck up here.  

It's not a Fox obsession Jack, but pointing out the truth about this fake newtork.
When they go off on Miller, you know it's bad!

fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,fox,....did you count that?....lol.

How bright can he possible be?

I already proved he can't count to 3....you expect him to go that high?

I really hope you didn't 't watch and you are lying.
