Fox News' Mark Levin in hot water after scathing attack on Jake Tapper, CNN over Israel-Hamas war coverage

Mark Levin pulls no punches in his criticism of CNN and anchor Jake Tapper, but Internet reactions are far from positive

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Fox News host Mark Levin has taken over X, formerly known as Twitter, to take some brutal jabs at CNN and Jake Tapper amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.

In the last 24 hours, Levin’s X account has been flooded with his recent takes on CNN, and the network host Jake Tapper, who recently interviewed GOP candidate Nikki Haley, and cut her off at the mention of the Biden administration.

In addition, Levin also described CNN as an “American propaganda operation” for the Hamas militants, amongst other things.

Mark Levin takes a dig at Jake Tapper

On X, Fox News anchor Mark Levin wrote, “CNN's Jake Tapper had a full day of being an a*****e. No wonder he has no ratings.” With this, he shared an article from The Hill, titled, “Tapper cuts off Haley for blaming Biden for House not having Speaker.”

After CNN’s Jake Tapper mentioned the Speakership, and the lack of it, the former South Carolina governor was quick to mention the Biden administration when Tapper cut her off, “You can’t blame that on Biden. You can’t blame this on Biden.”

This wasn’t the isolated CNN mentioned by Levin on X, as he previously also criticized the entire conglomerate.

Levin wrote on X, “CNN is true to form, an American propaganda operation for the Hamas terrorists. Indeed, that is the role most American and European media play.”

“Look at this story. The reason these Palestinians are stuck in Gaza City is because Hamas will not let them leave and haven't for a week, and Egypt is blocking their escape passageway despite repeated efforts by Israel to persuade them to let the Palestinians go.”

In this post on X, Levin shared CNN’s coverage of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, titled, “Middle on ‘verge of abyss’ UN warns.”

Internet defends Jake Tapper on X

As Fox News host Mark Levin took on CNN and Jake Tapper, the internet was quick to respond as some defended Tapper.

One user wrote, “And yet he has 3.1M followers. That's why he's an anchor and you have a show...” and another wrote, “You’ve got a lot of nerve.”

“What’s up with obsession with @jaketapper,” wrote one user, and another said, “Says the guy who loses in the ratings to fantasy football preview shows every week.”

Internet continued to mock Levin and his “ratings” as one user wrote, “Your ratings are not much better...” and another wrote, “Is Mark mad cuz CNN is not spreading lies for revenue like Fox news did, cuz that would be strange..”

In addition to people defending Jake Tapper, and mocking Mark Levin, the internet also slammed Fox News, after Levin's brutal dig at CNN.

One user wrote, "Fox is no better is saying the same," and another said, "Fox News is the propaganda."

"Stop lying, grifter," wrote one user, and another said, "Grow up Mark."

"How rich that Levin (from Fox) is pointing fingers at other networks and calling them propagandists. You really can't make this s**t up!" wrote one user, and another said, "That's rich coming from you..."
