CNN anchor Jake Tapper says he does not mind that President Trump dislikes his network.

In an interview with “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert Wednesday night, Colbert joked about Trump calling the network "fake news" and asked what Tapper thought about the president's views on CNN.

"Why are you so mean to him, Jake?" Colbert asked.

“What’s it like in the halls over there knowing that the president actively doesn’t like your network? How do people feel over there?”

"I don’t think anybody cares," Tapper responded to applause from the audience.

Tapper said he didn't want to compare presidents "because they're quite different," but noted that "I don’t think President Obama was a particular fan of mine."

"The job is to not be liked," Tapper said. "My job is to not be liked. My job is to tell the truth and deliver the facts and be held accountable."

Tapper got into a heated exchange with senior Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway on Tuesday, when Tapper asked her about the accuracy of Trump's statements.

“It is difficult to hear criticism from the White House, which has such little regard day in, day out, for facts, for truth and who calls us fake news for stories that they don't like,” Tapper told Conway.
