2018. Jake Tapper puts out a video "fact checking" claims by Pence and Pompeo that it was the opinion of the intelligence agencies that Russia did not affect the outcome of the 2016 election.
Tapper said the intelligence agencies never made an assessment if Russia affected the outcome of the election. That was his important fact check.
Tapper had no idea that he was citing a completely bogus intelligence report that was created to undermine the Trump presidency. Not that he or CNN would have ever questioned anything put out by the Obama admin.
On the other hand, Trump puts out info on China and CNN immediately starts trying to debunk it.
Tapper didn't fact check any of the hundreds of Democrats who claimed that Russia did affect the outcome of the election. Just those claiming it didn't. He sure loved that Russia hoax.
