"Tippy" Tapper's Dismal Ratings

Former ABC, now CNN talking "head" Jake "Tippy" Tapper saw ratings for his new show, "The Lead," on CNN plummet from the predecessor show "The Situation Room" (with Wolf "The Situation" Blitzer ? hee-hee).  Tippy is best known here for his inability to perceive "sister organization" Fox "News" as a propaganda arm of the Rethuglican/ New Confederate/ Stupid Party. *
