Honestly, Jake Tapper has this style where he really pushes for clear answers, especially on tough stuff like whether President Biden is still sharp enough to do his job. When Rep Clyburn was on his show, Tapper didn't just let him give easy answers. He asked straight up about concerns people had over Biden's mental state and wanted more than just a regular defense.

From my experience watching other news hosts, a lot of them either dance around the question or stick to talking points, but Tapper kinda dives right in and stays on it until he gets something more real. That makes his coverage a little different. People on social media were talking about how he kept the focus tight and didn't get distracted.

A lot of my friends actually prefer watching Tapper for these big interviews because you feel like he is being honest and making the guests be real, too. It really sets him apart from some other journalists who just let politicians talk around hard questions.
