Jake Tapper’s New Broadcast Office Decor Is TOTALLY Not a Metaphor for CNN – Twitchy

March 21, 2026

As Twitchy reported overnight, CNN is trying out a new look for the shows on its failing network. No, they’re not demanding accuracy in reporting from their ‘journalists’ — that’s just crazy talk.

Instead, they are trying to ‘podcastify’ the network (yes, that’s a word; a word we completely made up). Out are the staid traditional studio sets. In are oversized microphones and loose ties for Anderson Cooper, and Jake Tapper hosting his show from his cute and kitschy office.

It’s like that time on The Simpsons when Moe ‘rebranded’ Moe’s Tavern as Uncle Moe’s Family Feedbag, complete with alligators on the wall and Million Dollar Birthday Fries.

That rebranding didn’t work because ultimately, it was the same grumpy, misanthropic Moe serving up the awful food and expletives. (‘Ow, my freakin’ ears,’ as Todd Flanders said.)

This one won’t work either because CNN isn’t changing its editorial bias or unprofessionalism; they’re merely slapping a garish paint job on it.

Bridget Phetasy, a truly funny and successful podcaster, said it best:

HA! How dare CNN engage in cultural appropriation!

Our favorite part of Tapper’s announcement, however, was when he described the decor in his new office broadcast location. Like a waiter at Chotchkie’s in Office Space showing off his flair, Tapper proudly displayed his vast collection of … presidential losers. Here is a transcript from the video above:

You might also be wondering about the décor — posters and the tchotchkes and such on my wall. Well, the theme is these are all losing presidential campaigns. And this hobby started 26 years ago after I covered my very first presidential campaign in 2000. Campaigning and hopping from bus to plane to bus to plane, I collected lawn signs and posters of candidates. By the end of the election, I had a really great collection of… well… losers.There’s an autographed Gore-Lieberman one from 2000. So anyway, this became a hobby. Here, come back to me here. You’ll see this is one of the grand achievements in my collection. It’s an Al Smith poster. He lost in 1928, Democrat to Herbert Hoover.
