15. I think you have to have a bit of ego/oversized self esteem to do that kind of job but there are levels to these things.

Some are worse than others.

I don't feel like Jake Tapper really has strict principles, I don't think he is evil or amoral but I think he will turn a blind eye to certain things if it suits him. He road Biden's age hard but has said very little about the same subject when it comes to Trump. I don't think its because he likes Trump over Biden. I just believe he felt like he could get more mileage after going after Biden with it and writing a book. He probably doesn't feel like the same would happen for Trump... the market for books criticizing Trump is really saturated.
