This story reminds me of the chemistry between Gibbs and Jake :-D
We are rooting for both Gibbs and Jakes :-D

Jake,
I am curious whether you have any statements to make in regards to the claims of censorship that others in the press are making against you.
In the past, I have have made several comments to Political Punch that have been thoughtful, fact-supported refutations of some of your claims, only to find them removed for no obvious reason. I suspect others have as well.
To me, as a longtime blogger, this kind of behavior seems contrary and tone-deaf to the blogger culture at large, and ultimately self-defeating… not to mention a real waste of my time for actually leaving well-researched comments, supported by links to relevant facts.
Could you provide more information as to how your blog and twitter are currently being monitored/censored, and provide some clear standards so that people will reasonably know what is and is not an acceptable way to criticize your reporting?

Mark, you’re posting your comments to a mainstream commercial media outlet. Jake Tapper “blogs”, Britney Spears “sings” – I’m not sure how you’ve gotten any of this confused with reality?

Hey Mark Kraft- if you don’t like his blog, why don’t you send him an email telling him such or post your reasons for disagreeing with Jake Tapper on your own blog?
As for his “blog and twitter being monitored”, it’s HIS blog and HIS twitter…he can “monitor” it however he wants. Apparently, he didn’t find your refutations neither thoughtful nor fact supported so he decided to remove them.
Oh, and also, he doesn’t have to give you a reason why he removed them. Just like you don’t have to give me a reason why you remove my comment on your blog.
Sometimes life just isn’t fair. Of course, most of us grow up and realize that.

me thinks “Mark Kraft” is actually Matt Yglesias, Adam Serwer or one of those other journolist dudes. They have been whining all day about being blocked from his twitter. OH NO!!! NOT BLOCKED FROM TWITTER. geez..isn’t this what 8th grade girls obsess about?
I applaud Mr. Tapper for staying as far away from that pile of unscrupulous little boys.
