5. I got banned from Tapper's blog when he was with ABC

My 'offence' around the 2008 election was to post information under his story that showed what Tapper was reporting was not correct/accurate. I backed up my claim with links.
I did that a few times and they banned me without warning or explanation.
I was credibly noting that his story was misleading or not accurate and basically proving it with links to back me up.
They/Tapper did not like that.

Elon Musk did something similar to me on X last September.

This article upset Musk

Because this chart in the article contradicted Musk's narrative

Showing the lowering the illegal immigrants during Obama's years
Musk claimed Obama-Biden were increasing the number of illegal immigrants to increase illegal immigrants voting. Pew's article showed otherwise.

Guys like Musk & Tapper don't like their narrative being exposed for the BS it is.

I've never found Tapper reliable nor that smart.
