Jake Tapper tweeted this a few days ago:
Wish certain officials in Broward County were even half as concerned about their horrific screw-ups and incompetence as they seem to be about hiding it from the public. https://t.co/4eVYRJ5DlI

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT… HOOOOLD UP.
He’s not wrong. But he DOES realize that he literally HELPED THEM do that, right?
CNN hosted a Townhall that GENEROUSLY gave the Broward County Sheriff a platform to blame Marco Rubio, Dana Loesch, and the NRA for the horrific events at Parkland High Schools.
That narrative continues to this day.
So you can “wish” certain officials were concerned with their own screw ups… but you literally GAVE THEM THE TOOLS to do what they’re doing.
Tapper gets DRAGGED for this one:
Wish you were too

Kind of like you guys hid it with your Town Hall you guys set up for the purpose of bashing @NRA and @DLoesch
— (((❌Scottergate❌))) (@Scottergate) August 16, 2018
Yeah. Kinda like that.
Come on, Jake. You spent 5 months blaming the NRA. You ignored the buffoons at the local, state and federal level in law enforcement and elsewhere who permitted this massacre to occur. TLTL

So when are you apologizing to @DLoesch for that horrific town hall?
— Untraceable Mark 🥓🥓 (@mcasil2016) August 16, 2018
Not happening.
Part of that fault was your network trying to write the narrative with your stories and fake townhall. Do better.

I wish your “news” network didn’t have a political rally under the guise of a town hall discussion after a school shooting tragedy…
— Mr. Stubborn (@obdurate_one) August 16, 2018
Um Jake, Don’t you remember, during your townhall, you helped them blame a civil rights organization?
— William Keane (@largebill68) August 16, 2018
But…but….but…
Seems you and @cnn gave them the push they needed to think this is acceptable behavior.

Yup. But what are facts, really?
