Fast forward to the 25:00 mark to listen to the discussion about Chris Wallace's lack of historical knowledge. He can't "imagine" a sitting President being critical of the press. He is obviously blissfully unaware of Thomas Jefferson's epic beatdown of the press of his day. Enjoy.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation proved they have no regard for the Constitution, the rule of law or truth.

Wallace is worm puke!

Thomas Jefferson actually was the president that contributed the most to America’s freedom and greatness.

Beyond the Declaration of Independence, without his brilliant astronomically based land division system, it would have been impossible for us to expand smoothly into the western territories, and become the only free state since Solomon’s Israel.

Hall’s conclusion: Fake News is more damaging to a free press than Presidential criticism.

“Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.” – Thomas Jefferson

If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast.

Who called the fake media “enemies of the state”?

Lock and load.

Put Chris Wallace on water skis in swim trunks and a leather jacket because he has just jumped the shark.

[A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper." --Thomas Jefferson to G. K. van Hogendorp, Oct. 13, 1785. (*) ME 5:181, Papers 8:632

"I am... for freedom of the press, and against all violations of the Constitution to silence by force and not by reason the complaints or criticisms, just or unjust, of our citizens against the conduct of their agents." --Thomas Jefferson to Elbridge Gerry, 1799. ME 10:78

"No experiment can be more interesting than that we are now trying, and which we trust will end in establishing the fact, that man may be governed by reason and truth. Our first object should therefore be, to leave open to him all the avenues to truth. The most effectual hitherto found, is the freedom of the press. It is, therefore, the first shut up by those who fear the investigation of their actions." --Thomas Jefferson to John Tyler, 1804. ME 11:33

"[I have seen] repeated instances of the publication of what has not been intended for the public eye, and the malignity with which political enemies torture every sentence from me into meanings imagined by their own wickedness only... Not fearing these political bull-dogs, I yet avoid putting myself in the way of being baited by them, and do not wish to volunteer away that portion of tranquillity, which a firm execution of my duties will permit me to enjoy." --Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell, 1807. ME 11:226

"Conscious that there was not a truth on earth which I feared should be known, I have lent myself willingly as the subject of a great experiment, which was to prove that an administration, conducting itself with integrity and common understanding, cannot be battered down even by the falsehoods of a licentious press, and consequently still less by the press as restrained within the legal and wholesome limits of truth. This experiment was wanting for the world to demonstrate the falsehood of the pretext that freedom of the press is incompatible with orderly government. I have never, therefore, even contradicted the thousands of calumnies so industriously propagated against myself. But the fact being once established, that the press is impotent when it abandons itself to falsehood, I leave to others to restore it to its strength by recalling it within the pale of truth. Within that, it is a noble institution, equally the friend of science and of civil liberty." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Seymour, 1807. ME 11:155

Are these people intentionally ignorant or really are moronic dipwits??

Institutionally indoctrinated Mr. Wallace is ignoring that the press is an anti-constitutional republic propaganda machine which he is a part of imo.

Jefferson's opposition was the Federalist party and they controlled the Northeast and so all the newspapers and media of the time.

They even ran cartoons of him and Sally Hemings.

Quite similar to today.

I think Chris Wallace is more thrilled about his own voice, using his “golden tones” to emulate his ol’ daddy, than he is about what he’s reporting.

He thinks he’s on “60 Minutes”, exposing the “wrongs of the world”.

He’s a little puke that is totally out of place on Fox News.

Trump wouldn’t be critical of a fair and impartial press. They treat him with disrespect so he fights back. Tough sh#%

Chris Wallace is going as nuts as his old man must be an ageing thing or DNA.

Harry Truman excoriated the press when they mocked a piano recital his daughter gave.
