'The absolute balls'! Jake Tapper's got a lotta nerve using Fox News' Chris Wallace to throw shade at CNN's competition right now

As Twitchy told you, “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace was rather impressed with Joe Biden’s inaugural address:

Best inaugural address of Chris Wallace’s life, hands-down.

And what makes this particular address so impressive — and so important — is its message to the media:

On Fox, Chris Wallace says Biden sent a message that "especially us in the media must note":

"Whether it's us on the air, on cable or broadcast, whether it's us on social media, on our Twitter accounts: understanding that we have to deal from facts, from the truth."

Sounds like something Jim Acosta might say. Or Jake Tapper.

Speaking of Jake Tapper, CNN’s soon-to-be lead Washington, D.C., anchor — who’s been feeling extra-snarky and professional lately — used Wallace’s plea to “deal from facts, deal from truth” to take a factual, truthy swipe at CNN’s competition:

Wonder if there was any media outlet in particular Biden was referring to https://t.co/tmzW4FJ6Mz

Well, it obviously couldn’t be CNN, because CNN always puts Facts First™.

You watch your own network, right?

You work with some beauties too, Jake. Let’s not pretend that #cnn isn’t part of the problem too.

— gmblake (@gmblake) January 20, 2021

And Jake’s one of them.

And he’s proud of it, too.
