Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  New York (CNN) Ko Jake Tapper te kaihautū e whai ake nei o te hōtaka uiuinga tōrangapū o te ata o te Rātapu o CNN "State of the Union". I pānuitia e CNN te whakatairanga a Tapper i te ata o te Paraire. Ka riro i a ia te hōtaka i te marama o Hune; ka noho tonu ia hei kairipoata matua o Washington o te hongere, hei kaikawe hoki i te purongo o te ahiahi o te wiki "The Lead". I roto i ona hoa, e kitea ana a Tapper he mana ki te kaupapa tōrangapū, he mea e hiahiatia ana e tētahi hōtaka pēnei i te "State of the Union". I whiwhi ia i nga arotake i a ia i te wa i noho ai ia hei kaikawe mo te haora ata o te Rātapu o te ABC "This Week" i te tau 2010. "Kare au i tino harikoa mo tenei wa pooti me te papaaho hou ka whai au i CNN ki te hipoki", i kii a Tapper i roto i tetahi korero. "'He taonga tuku iho a State Of The Union, ā, e tumanako ana ahau kia kaua e hanga i runga i tōna hītori anake, engari kia whakawhānui i te whakamāramatanga o te whakaaturanga o te Rātapu". I mihi a Tapper ki te Tumuaki o CNN Worldwide a Jeff Zucker "mo te whakawhirinaki e whakaatu tonu ana ia ki ahau me aku hoa mahi i CNN mo te tautoko maere i runga i te rangi me waho i riro mai i ahau mai i te tiimata o tenei haerenga i te rua tau ki muri". I uru atu a Tapper ki CNN mai i ABC i te tau 2013 hei kaikawe i te "The Lead". I runga i te "State of the Union", ka whai wāhi ia ki a Candy Crowley, nāna i whakamana te hōtaka i te Hakihea o te tau kua hipa. Ko te hurihanga o ngā kaihautū whakakapi i ārahi i te hōtaka i tēnei tau. I whakapuakina e Zucker te taenga mai o Tapper ki te waea huihuinga a te kaiwhakahaere o te whatunga i te ata o te Paraire. "Kei te harikoa ahau ka riro i a Jake tenei mahi taapiri i tenei wa nui i roto i te huringa pooti", i kii a Zucker i roto i tetahi korero. "Kei a ia te huinga tino pai o ngā pūkenga e tino āhei ai ia -- he kairipoata ia, he kaituhi kōrero pūmanawa, he kaiwhakawhiti kōrero tino pai, e kore e mutu kia whiwhi whakautu ra ano ia. He waimarie ki a mātau i a ia i runga i te 'The Lead' me te 'State of the Union.'" Ko ngā hōtaka tōrangapū o te Rātapu kei roto i ngā tūru tino rongonui i ngā whatunga pouaka whakaata. Kei te haere tonu ngā huringa: Kei te whakatata atu a CBS ki te poroporoaki ki a Bob Schieffer, te kaihautū roa o "Face the Nation", ka riro i a ia a John Dickerson i te marama o Hune....
