After Calling Out Obama on Transparency, President Slams Tapper at Dinner

[See NewsBusters for more.] Earlier this year, CNN’s Jake Tapper called the President out on doing a poor job when it comes to transparency and the press. Perhaps Barack Obama didn’t like this much as he singled out the journalist during Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner with a gratuitous swipe. With a joke setup that people are leaving the White House, Obama chided, “Even reporters have left me. Savannah Guthrie, she has left the White House press corps to host the Today show. Norah O’Donnell left the briefing room to host CBS This Morning. Jake Tapper left journalism to join CNN.”
