I guess CNN hasn't been asking Mitt Romney.
Republicans should have stopped going on "the Shows" years ago.
The only problem is CNN will have no problem putting self-identified "Republicans" on air and having them say whatever they want them to say.
By the time you’ve made the fourth request you should realize you’re in the process of a self-punking.
they are shirking this important part of their duty to the American public to explain what they are doing with our money and in our name
I keep mis-reading the US Constitution! I didn't REALIZE that the 1st amendment stated that the President has a duty to go on TV Talkshows!!!
Guessing Tapper opted not to mention the Project Veritas tapes exposing bias against Trump at his network. I don't see why the administration is obligated to speak with specific reporters. Just as CNN cheered when Obama and his administration boycotted FOX news, Trump can select what reporters his staff give interviews to.
Why in the world would any Republican go on CNN ?
CNN ratings are low.
The Trump administration officials only go on The Shows. CNN is not one of The Shows anymore. Trump hates low ratings.
Scampered is a good word. It was perfect here.
Why should anyone (republican) go on when they'll just make stuff up no matter what? Fake news indeed.
hearing someone from this "news" organization talk about "shirking" a responsibility that doesn't exist is a joke, compared to their utter abandonment of any serious journalistic principles.
Oddly, while I don't scan the NYTimes or Deep State WaPo, impeachment has dropped off the first, second, third, fourth pages or the entire WSJ entirely except for the weekly early-elderly white female baby boomer sighing of Peggy. But not only has it dropped off WSJ, it's dropped off the entirely leftist news.google feed I have.
"Sod off"
they are shirking this important part of their duty to the American public
Article 2 - The Executive Branch
Section 1 - The President
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and shall, together with the Vice-President and top House and Senate Republicans, appear on Jake Trapper's teevee show and answer questions as required by Trapper.
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully appear on the "State of the Union", and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend Jake Trapper and CNN."
Why it's almost like some Democrats (and the DNC) boycotting Fox News. We all have our reasons.
It's so pompous and tiresome for Jake Tapper to purport to speak for "the American people". He has a cable TV show that reaches a few hundred thousand liberal politics junkies in a nation of 330 million. Come down off your high horse, Jake. There are other ways for the White House to get its message out to the people.
Who the Hell actually WATCHES CNN??
And those chopper-pressers are extremely lengthy and informative. Maybe Tapper isn't allowed to go to those.
Redefining the word "troll".
WHY would they come on Propaganda media that have admitted they are all against the President and are going to do whatever they can to get him impeached?? The are an arm of the Progressive party, and America is awake. Who watches CNN anyways??
Trump gets more eyeballs with a single tweet than an hour on CNN.
After the Parkland shooting townhall he hosted, nobody should go on to his show until he apologizes.
cacimbo- Tapper actually spoke up for Fox News when Obama tried to ban them. His particular problems are the Parkland Town Hall (he received an award for it). and his blindspot wrt the Russia collusion hoax, I suspect because its hard to admit to yourself when you sources use you to spread misinformation.
1. Ha ha ha.
2. Pathetic.
There is no point to go on CNN. Nobody willingly watches it. It is on in airports and a couple hotel lobbies.
It is a prop for propaganda and only stupid people believe it.
Poor Jake Tapper has sold his soul for silver.
I am also willing to accept there were some Republicans willing to go on and Tapper is lying.
CNN is an evil institution and everyone who works there is evil.
Shorter CNN: Jake Tapper pleads for relevance.
Obvious Liberals on CNN claiming to be objective talking heads: Tapper, Anderson, Blitzer, Steltser, etc etc so why bother to go their show to be a punching bag.
Tapper would like the Administration to pretend like the actions of Schiff were valid and the issues he's raising were genuine.
Why won't Trump send a bunch of his people on Jake's show to validate that idea???
I imagine lots of people besides Donald Trump regard Jake Tapper as being irrelevant.
Cacimbo, you do realize that those tapes were doctored to make it look like bad things are going on at CNN. Seriously? James O'Keefe has been discredited more times than you can count. He is a nut case. I think it is a valid question that Tapper asks. The members of the Cheeto's administration and the Cheeto himself are afraid of CNN, truth to power, baby.
Vicki from Pasadena
Trump uses Twitter to do all of that, and pretty effectively.
Tapper is delusional that having White House personnel on his show would somehow inform the American people. It would be rabid partisan shitshow, obviously, and we already get quite enough of that.
I would wager that Achilles above is correct- there willing participants, just not the ones CNN wanted, or those willing to go on didn't promise to not bring up certain subjects like, for example, the Biden grifting.
CNN could do empty chair show with chyron of questions to answer.
No voice.
All day.
Peace in airport around global.
Project Veritas has shown that CNN is run with an iron hand by it President Jeff Zucker. He calls a meeting every 9 AM and gives them their marching orders, which are always the same "Get Trump". Tapper just does what Zucker says. There's no reason for anyone to go on his show, CNN is ratings disaster, and Tapper is just another Liberal Democrat Newsman, no different from all the Left-wing Democrat's at MSNBC/NBC/ABC/CBS/PBS or WaPo/NYT/New Yorker
I heard Tapper say this, and had to bite my tongue to keep from literally braying laughter.
"If Trump doesn't hold White House press conferences or appear on our network's shows, then he isn't explaining himself to the American people."
He's explaining himself to the American people just fine, without the filter of the spectacularly biased "news media." I'm among the not-a-Trump-fan group--Rand Paul was my guy in the primaries--but it is undeniably refreshing to see him repeatedly give the press the "fuck you and the horse you rode in on" they so richly deserve.
I'll be fine with "four more years" of that, especially with the Democratic front-running cuckoos we have in the "debates" at this point. Everybody from JFK to Paul Tsongas (who I was hoping to vote for) is spinning in their graves over the current loony left Democratic Party.
Basically, if you count C-SPAN, there are 8 TV news channels Trump and the WH officials can appear on. There's no reason to go to CNN - no one watches it.

No idea how or whether Trump will respond, but CNN is unfair to him and it ladles out fake news like soup on the school lunch line.
Can you imagine a President Lincoln, Roosevelt (either one), Eisenhower being cowed by the likes of Jake Tapper? Sure Obama would have sent a Susan Rice to spread lies, and Tappet would have colluded to craft the narrative. Those days are long gone, thankfully.
The expression on Tapper's face reminds me of this kid.
Phoenix Suns Invite 6-Year-Old to Game After No One Showed Up at Birthday Party
Maybe LeBron can rescue Tapper's show and talk about how great China is?
I think Trump and other Republicans should refuse to go on his show until Tapper proves beyond any doubt that he has has never raped or assaulted any woman in his employ or acquaintance. The fact that there are no specific allegations against him just demonstrate the culture of fear and repression that exist at CNN. Why are women willing to speak up against Matt Lauer, Les Moonves, Charlie Rose, and Roger Ailes and yet none come forward with evidence against Jake Tapper. As in the Russian collusion scandal, the absence of evidence is proof of a larger conspiracy.
Anytime I want to watch a panel of Trump-haters, I turn to CNN.
CNN is nothing more than a propaganda arm of the DNC. Much the same can be said of the other networks? Who wants to watch pointed, misleading gotcha questions while disallowing the deponent both the time and ability to rephrase the question and answer? I said deponent because that is what these shows have mostly become; depositions. What Trump should do should the Republicans wind up with both houses of Congress is to propose cable unbundling. If the subscriber wants packages fine. If they want ala carte fine. Then let's see how many subscribers are willing to do without CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC.
If Jake's whining, then the world is in a good place.
Tapper can invite George Papadopoulos, who can explain how he was framed by our Intelligence Community in the RussiaGate hoax.
When interviewed, Papadopoulos is very interesting.
Papadopoulos was framed because he was selected by the Trump campaign staff to be an adviser on foreign-policy issues.
How many times has Papadopoulos been interviewed by CNN? I'll bet he would go on Tapper's show.
Tapper misses the Helen Thomas days in the rodent-infested press room.
well I've said my view of tapper,

Jake Tapper. Sad!
Awesome, trial by press ("warlock trial"). Throw another baby on the barbie, it's over. Meanwhile, the bigotry of CNN, WaPo, CNN, and other journolists has been exposed as a conspiracy to protect an axis of special and peculiar interests.
Why would anyone who is not a Democrat or TDS-afflicted RINO go on CNN? Does Tapper, whose transformation seems complete, actually believe anyone but cnn’s true believers will react otherwise?
Or is it just pandering to the “base” for the money now?
Tapper looks like such a weenie I wonder anyone pays any attention to him.
Fake news. That Trump owes them anything. It's not in the constitution.
Of course because the Jake Tappers of this world believe they are the real shakers and movers. The tail wants desperately to wag the dog.
Trump has no obligation to provide content for the for-profit corporation known as CNN.
When news no longer became distinctly different from advocacy, there's no republican who needs to support that.
maybe she's a fembot,

Pending litigation reason applies to evil CNN. The truth of CNN's actual malice from the top down has been let out of the bag by Project Veritas. I hope the President's lawsuit for damages is filed in Atlanta so I can be a juror.
Jake Tapper's quotation is laughable. Why should the WH or any non-democratic politician even bother? No one meets the press more frequently than this President; his staff just figured a way to one-up the preening media schmos whose real agenda is being seen on-camera, bringing Truth to Power.
I watched Pompeo give it right back to the biased weasel Stephanapoulous this morning and thought, the Sunday shows are propaganda for both sides, nothing more. Chuck Todd talks over any non-Narrative friendly guest to obscure salient points. Bartiromo's show is better, but it's obviously got its own take as well. (And does anybody still watch Face The Nation?)
The leftist talking heads act as if opposing viewpoints are some fringe conspiracy. The act is worn thin and Americans know it.
Tapper thinks he's a Twitter Tough Guy. Here's an idea: Have Mulvaney go on and answer every GD question Tapper can think of. Loser. -WSW
News to Jake: they aren't accountable to you.
I don't see why the administration is obligated to speak with specific reporters
I don't see why the administration feels obligated to credential propagandists who self describe as journalists.
Jake, Jake. Just hang a curtain up and interview an anonymous person behind the curtain. Say it's a high WH official. Practice a Greta death-ray stare. Zuck will love it.
So last week the airport in Boston had CNN on the gate televisions. Upon arrival in Savannah, Georgia- CNNs home state- the gate televisions had The Golf Channel on.
Wasn’t Tapper really disrespectful to a Republican, something about Fox Tv conspiracy theory as a retort?
The sheer arrogance of the press is a sight to behold.
The Bill of Rights mentions Tapper by name.
Perhaps they could find a host who could attract a wide array of guests. Watch out Jake, the next round of layoffs may have your name on it.
White House has press conferences all the time:
"Trump has stopped 80 times for question-and-answer sessions in departing or returning to the White House aboard Marine One or on the tarmac before getting on or off Air Force One, according to CBS" (link is to Politico article back in August).
Maybe if CNN didn't lie all the time, they'd have better ratings. But with such low ratings, why should anyone waste time on CNN. I don't. CNN doesn't preoccupy my life at all. I'm aware of them like I am the Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. I know they exist, but not on my TV.
Maybe if Tapper et al were honorable people doing honest work, the WH would reconsider.
Trump is just doing what most of the GOP should have started doing no later than 2004, but never had the cojones to do.

Innuendo isn't fact. You have the proof the tapes were altered? If so, please provide the source.
Remember that Acosta guy? Maybe the WH does, too. Learn from your mistakes
Jake is teh ghey.
To pull out a little 2005 intertubes lingo.
I don't understand why anybody does Chris Matthews' Sunday show either.
He's worse than Tapper because so many refuse to take note of how Left Wallace is.
James O'Keefe has never been discredited, not even a little bit. The Left just figures that by shouting "debunked!" often enough, they achieve 90% of what an actual debunking would do. You can tell because they never provide links to any actual debunkings, or when they do, it's nothing but smears trying to make standard and necessary editing techniques used by ALL journalists look nefarious. O'Keefe generally always posts the unedited video too, but of course that runs hours, and the Left just counts on no one having the time to watch those.

I suspect O'Keefe's tapes are as faithful to reality as those they show on 60 minutes, though probably more faithful than those they ran on Dateline NBC.
It's good enough as journalism goes.
You mean Wallace, bartiromo's definitely better, Margaret brennan is very tedious, the rest are worse,
There is no point in Republicans showing up to answer questions when any answers given will be blatantly misrepresented to fit whatever ridiculous narrative CNN is pushing that week. Nobody should take Tapper or CNN seriously because they make no attempt whatever to actually engage with Republican rhetoric, everything is about getting Trump.
It would be vastly more informative to the American public if Trump were to host a press conference filled with nothing but NYC taxi drivers asking the questions rather than the "professional" credentialed national media figures.
Don’t you understand the message to CNN in that rare instance of GOP unanimity, Jake? Are you really that dense?
so just like strzok and page, an earlier link, concerns the presence of eickenrode among durham's team, as a probable leaker, to the Times, eickenrode did all the initial interviews of rove libby et al, then he lost the transcripts, and libby couldn't call up a memory expert to refresh the particulars at trial,
Why would a Republican go on CNN when they can't even avoid crashing on Fox?
And POTUS doesn't even need a tv question for idiocy like Twitter demand that Schiff be deposed.

If you are feeding on the public money as a politician (or public servant, teacher, whatever) then give an account to the people who pay your wages. Go and talk to CNN. We know CNN will put you in the worst possible light if you are on the wrong side of their politics. If you want to take the public money then give an account, that's your job.
CNN should do a show call "War On The Gulf" focussed on bridging the divide within America. That might get their mojo back. Instead, they'll just "shill, baby shill."
“Tune in today for the latest outrage! Never mind the the outrages we’ve been pushing for the last three years never amounted to anything! Tune in today, please. Meanwhile, Trump isn’t coming on our network. It’s an outrageous outragey outrage! Just because we hate hus guts and are willing to tell any lie to destroy him, why won’t he come on my show? It’s a outrage!
Awww...CNN is frozen out. They can't get anyone to come on the show. Well, too bad. You should have thought of that, Jake, when your boss maxed out on stupid. You are in the deep freeze, pal, and you are stuck there with Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon and Erin Burnett. Enjoy!
James O'Keefe doesn't use any methods or tactics that aren't used by mainstream network news television. The only difference between him and the news departments at ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC is his choice of targets. If the critiques of his methods amount to discrediting him, then they also have discredited those networks.
If you want to take the public money then give an account, that's your job.
Limited Perspective: It is my understanding that Trump donates, every quarter, his entire salary. If Mr. Trapper wants to make himself useful to the public, he should go to the Middle East and report firsthand--daily--on our role there.
It’s a running joke of a network, Tapper to Stelter to Cooper to the rest of those bums.
Trump is waiting for the backlog of press conferences Obama didn't hold to clear up, then he'll get back to having them himself.
CNN is closed circuit airport cable teevee. If administration officials went on shows with democrat hacks with self-accredited press credentials that would be shirking their responsibility.
Why would any republican bother to go on CNN? No one will watch you for starters (they lose in ratings against Nickelodeon for crying out loud) and you have to contend with so called "newsmen" who fling shit at you the entire time until you accept their democrat approved premise. Pass. What else you got?
35 years back Tina Turner sang a song about somebody who was smaller than a skeeter's tweeter. That would about describe the size of the audience for CNN beyond those forced to watch it in airports.
At one time (within living memory--but then I'll be 76 in a couple of weeks) CNN had an audience and put out stuff that was worth watching. But that was a long time ago when I was still young and frisky. Yes--it has been that long since CNN meant very much.
If you are in a room with the tv tuned to CNN you probably....
A: are having a nightmare
B: are at the airport
C: sat on the remote while sitting down on your sofa
D: All the above
DavidUW97,
"Early-elderly"?
Nah, Noonan's been elderly since she turned 40.
Tapper why would any Republican bother with the liars network with such a small viewership?
If you are in a room with the tv tuned to CNN you probably....
A: are having a nightmare
B: are at the airport
C: sat on the remote while sitting down on your sofa
D: All the above
E: Are watching Robin Meade, who still rocks it at 50.
Fuck Tapper. No one owes him anything.
Cacimbo, you do realize that those tapes were doctored to make it look like bad things are going on at CNN. Seriously? James O'Keefe has been discredited more times than you can count.
Seems like Project Veritas has prevailed in some recent litigation after being sued for libel and defamation. I guess the lefties don't like it when they've been exposed.
