COLBERT: Why are you so mean to him, Jake? If you guys just didn't fact-check him anymore, he wouldn't be saying these things about you.

TAPPER: It's a good point.

COLBERT: Are you surprised — what's it like in the halls over there, knowing that you, like, the president actively doesn't like your network? How do people feel over there?

TAPPER: I don't think anybody cares. And I mean, I'm not comparing the two because they're quite different, but I don't think President Obama was a particular fan of mine. I mean, the job is to not be liked. That's your job, to be liked.

COLBERT: Yeah. That's true.

TAPPER: My job is not to be liked. My job is to tell the truth and deliver the facts and hold people accountable.
