Chris Wallace Explains Why He Won't Let Trump Call In To Fox News Sunday
Mediate.com ^ | 8/13/2015 | Matt Wilstein

While Donald Trump tends to prefer phone interviews, this weekend he will be sitting down in person with Chuck Todd in Iowa for Meet the Press. During his radio show Thursday, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade asked his colleague Chris Wallace if he views the NBC booking as an “in your face” for what Trump has said were “unfair” debate questions from Fox.

Joking that he doesn’t have “subpoena power” over Trump, Wallace pointed out that over the last few weeks the candidate has “done a lot of phoners,” something he has vowed not to do with any of the presidential contenders on his Fox News Sunday show.

“The idea you would do a phoner with a presidential candidate where they have all the control and you have none, where you can’t see them, they may have talking points in from of them,” Wallace said. “We are not a call-in radio show, we are a Sunday talk show and he is a presidential candidate — do an interview on camera.”

With his remarks, Wallace was not only being “critical” of competitors like Todd, CNN’s Jake Tapper and other competitors who have hosted Trump via phone, but also of Kilmeade and his Fox & Friends co-hosts who seem to speak to the candidate over the phone on a weekly basis.

“As far as him doing Chuck Todd and not me, we invited him, they said he wasn’t available,” Wallace added. “I guess he was available to someone else, we’ll survive.

L.A. Times says M. Kelly will be hosting the debate again in January.

Wallace better learn his lesson or he really won’t ever get an interview with Trump.

Wallace still laboring under the misconception that he matters...

With Megan out on a sabbatical, Chris (the light weight) will be next to slip into the liberal cesspool.

Oh well, I’m certain Trump will be deeply saddened.

Because he’s his father’s son?

Agreed, a smug cipher who’s there because of his father.

M. Kelly is a joke. She has a male following because of the way she dresses and a liberal female following because she is a bully. At least ultra-biased Rather didn’t dress like a Playgirl model to sell his corrupt reporting. He’s just going to whine until the day he dies about how W really did....whatever it is he has decided he has done lately. (Consult Rather’s staff forgerers.)

I agree. I don’t want to see MK moderating another debate and she doesn’t deserve the opportunity.

I would be careful about saying “he won’t ‘let’ him...”

Trump may just say “we’ll see about that...”

Didn’t you already have one thread pulled today for using the WRONG source link?

What is wrong with you? You’ve been here long enough and you don’t know how to post a thread?

She’s just dumb enough to try to get back at him...”Well, Mr. Trump, you won’t have any trouble with me this time, I’m not having my period”

Yep. Look, Trump is the front-runner and that means he gets to set the terms. If Wallace wants ratings between now and Nov. 2016, he’d better just STFU and take what he can get from The Donald. Like it or not, it looks like Trump is going to be the Republican nominee.

If Trump is smart he will NEVER do FoxNews Sunday with the liberal Democrat douchebag Wallace. It will devastate the network.
