Dude, take the L! Jake Tapper just LOSES it when pushed further on why CNN isn't leaving Georgia in heated back and forth

As Twitchy readers know, Jake Tapper was being well … Jake Tapper about the location of CNN’s headquarters, deflecting, pretending he’s reporting on the facts of a story when in reality he’s pushing an agenda to help Democrats who look like total doorknobs having supported moving the MLB All-Star Game from a Black-majority city to a White-majority city look less stupid. When Ted Frank pushed him further on this topic, specifically about CNN being headquartered in Georgia, the back and forth got pretty heated:

Jake, how can you work for a company headquartered in Georgia? Don’t you have a moral obligation to quit and relocate to an Alaska-or Maine-based media company if your employer won’t boycott the state? https://t.co/VFaVcfRqPP

Fair question.

Doesn’t CNN have a moral obligation to leave Georgia too? Since you know, this is all about morality and stuff?

Jake replied:

There’s a difference between reporting on why a company made a decision and expressing an opinion about the decision. Thought you were capable of distinguishing but apparently not.

Uh-oh.

Jake seems … tense.

Pissy even.

Ted came back:

Didn’t claim you approved of journalistic harassment techniques on behalf of an activist cause. If you’re claiming the question is inappropriate to you and other people who work in Georgia, that’s a reasonable (and correct) answer, but you should state that clearly.
