Jake Tapper Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jake Tapper has been front and center in the news lately, cementing his reputation as one of the most outspoken voices in American media. Just in the past 48 hours, Tapper has been a vocal critic of ABC’s headline-making decision to indefinitely suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show after Kimmel made pointed comments about the recent Charlie Kirk shooting in Utah. Tapper appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, using his platform to call the move a direct violation of the First Amendment. He told Colbert, As soon as you have government-appointed officials like FCC Chairman Brendan Carr pressuring networks by threatening their licenses, we’re in uncharted territory for free speech in this country. Tapper warned that this sets a dangerous precedent for future administrations, arguing that network executives are prioritizing corporate profits over fundamental democratic values. He also shared his belief that Disney CEO Bob Iger is facing a legacy-defining decision as the media giant pursues a Justice Department-approved acquisition of Fubo—a process coinciding suspiciously with the Kimmel suspension, according to Tapper’s comments earlier in the day on CNN and in a video he posted online.While these comments drew major headlines in major outlets like Adweek and PhillyVoice, Tapper didn’t stop there. He took to social media, where on September 16 he posted, Sometimes social media feels overwhelming. Maybe it’s a sign to pause and breathe. I’m focusing on my book and the news, but I appreciate all the engagement. This post was likely in anticipation of the increased attention around his media appearances and advocacy in the Kimmel saga.Tapper is also generating buzz in the book world: his latest nonfiction title, Race Against Terror: Chasing an Al Qaeda Killer at the Dawn of the Forever War, is set for release October 7, with a live event at Philadelphia’s Suzanne Roberts Theater scheduled for October 15. The book recounts the frantic efforts of American prosecutors to bring a powerful Al-Qaeda operative to justice, blending investigative reporting with Tapper’s characteristic narrative touch.On the business side, Tapper recently hosted former Senator Kyrsten Sinema on CNN to discuss regulation of AI, cryptocurrency, and psychedelics. The Revolving Door Project called out the segment, noting omitted disclosures about Sinema’s work for the law firm Hogan Lovells and crypto giant Coinbase, which could indicate the business of news and politics is never entirely separate from the narrative.As of now, there have been no verified reports of new controversies or allegations against Tapper himself in the past 24 hours. His sharp commentary, high-profile media appearances, and literary pursuits are sure to keep him firmly in the public conversation for weeks to come.Thanks for listening.
