CNN anchor Jake Tapper had an on-air meltdown Monday over the presence of several prominent tech figures at Donald Trump's inauguration.
The journalist reacted in real-time to moguls like Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos's being present at the ceremony - as was the case with Elon Musk.
Honing in on those three men and fellow attendees Google CEO Sundar Pichai and Apple boss Tim Cook, Tapper called the coalition a cause for concern.
'Those five people... control so much of the information we receive,' the journalist said, days after CNN lost a defamation lawsuit stemming from one of his segments.
'So much is in their hands when it comes to ascertaining, monitoring, or refusing to monitor what is real, what is not real,' he went on, before offering a dystopic prediction about the future.
He told viewers how 'we're about to enter an era of deep-fakes and all sorts of misinformation' - and that 'the degree to which those five gentleman play a role or do not play a role, will be pivotal in terms of where the American people are four years from now.'

Nobody wants anybody monitoring the release of info. Especially those scumbags (Musk excepted). GFY Tapper.

The Daily Mail is doing a good job on reporting American news. You’re not going to see this from legacy media here in the U.S.

DJT out maneuvered the left’s acquisition of the MSM.
To: yesthatjallen
He’s afraid of the tech figures because he’s afraid of Trump.

To: yesthatjallen

The left was so far out their league. DJT put the new media in his corner letting the old media die on the vine. It’s so clear now.
They’ve been completely and utterly outfoxed. That’s how 3D chess works.

Hey Tapper, here's MORE than five people... control so much of the information we receive:

All of these tech giants likely attended the pedo’s installation but that was okay with Jake then.

Any idea of what he means by “refusing to monitor what is real”?
