Inside The White House Press Corps: Jake Tapper

ABC News Senior White House Correspondent Jake Tapper has already faced the Mediaite 5 Quick Questions juggernaut, but has bravely decided to occupy the hot-seat once again for this edition of Inside the White House Press Corps.

Jake ends his first full year covering the Obama administration having earned a reputation as a tough questioner in White House briefings, often drawing criticism from partisans on either side of the spectrum. He’s also on a short list (no longer including Ted Koppel) to succeed George Stephanopoulos as host of ABC’s This Week program.

Here, Tapper discusses what it takes to be a good White House reporter, his relationship with Robert Gibbs, the relative merits of the Wonder Pets and much more.
