A point of personal privilege: Ben Montgomery is a friend, a vastly talented reporter and writer, and a member of an informal group of writers to which I am proud to belong. By contrast, Axios stands revealed as a creepy little band of Beltway-drunk dilettantes who, taken together, don't have the courage God gave the average assistant night city editor at a 30,000-circulation daily. If there's one thing I despise most in this business, it's suits who don't stand behind their reporters in the face of unjust, performative outrage and flinch before they're hit. |

Jake Tapper is what they used to call a newsman, and he is determined to stay that way in an era when he believes people "are being conditioned to run to ideological or partisan media, where there's a tribe and a built-in support network. And that's not what we do here." The "here" there is The Lead on CNN, the show he's hosted for 10 years as of this Saturday. In that time he's covered the Boston Marathon bombing and January 6 and everything in between, often live. In the interview below edited for length and clarity, he spoke on much of the above, as well as whether being "objective" is a priority for him as a journalist, whether a news outlet has an obligation to appeal to people across the ideological spectrum, and what it's like to have someone tell you they do coups on air. |

These are exactly what you need to get you through that double layover. |

There is no greater symbolic measure of a man's masculinity than the size of his penis. If someone is a big shot at work, they're referred to as a "big swinging dick." In recent years, the term "big dick energy" has emerged in the lexicon to describe men with a raw, ineffable charisma. A big dick is something men are taught to want from a young age—in both the porn they watch and the cultural messaging they internalize. For our new series on The Secret Lives of Men, Esquire spoke to T, a 19-year-old, Nigerian-British university student, about the weight he carries between his legs and the downside to having what every man thinks he wants. |
