Chris Wallace never seems to want to call out his own industry....sounds like Chris wants to suppress the freedom of speech for DONALD TRUMP.

“Chris Wallace never seems to want to call out his own industry”

They never do. And that’s fine.

The press has no moral authority, nor can they draw a fence around the first amendment.

The press can lie, fabricate, extrapolate, exaggerate all to their hearts content.

Everyone else, including the President, can say whatever they want about the press. It can also be a lie, a fabrication, extrapolation, or an exaggeration.

The press pretends to not take sides - they use this as a way to claim that they have standards and judgment. They have neither, and this is in the process of being exposed, so of course they will panic and send out a “call to arms”.

They have monetized their presumed judgment and standards - and when they are fully exposed, they will simply be hunter/gatherers of news on the same level as anyone else who wishes to claim to be a “journalist”.

This is as it should be as well.

A reputation for standards and judgment and truth takes a long time to develop. It’s also boring to report the truth even on a fast news day.

They are being sacrificed because they - as “news organizations” (generally) add no value and have no value except to hype and sell ads.

Trump is doing the right thing - and by doing so will save the “journalism” profession from itself - but only if they choose to simply report on truth and facts.
