Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, one of the few high-profile news personalities who retained a reputation of integrity as the channel he worked for leaned hard into right-wing and conspiratorial programming, announced Sunday that he is departing the network and joining CNN+ to host a weekday show.
Wallace made the stunning announcement of his departure from Fox News at the end of "Fox News Sunday," the channel's flagship weekly program that he has moderated since 2003.
"After 18 years — this is my final 'Fox News Sunday.' It is the last time, and I say this with real sadness, we will meet like this," Wallace said.
Wallace described his time at Fox News as a "great ride." He said that after nearly two decades he was "ready for a new adventure."
Shortly after his announcement, CNN announced that Wallace will join CNN+, the news organization's streaming product launching in early 2022, to host a show featuring interviews with newsmakers "across politics, business, sports and culture."
"I am thrilled to join CNN+. After decades in broadcast and cable news, I am excited to explore the world of streaming. I look forward to the new freedom and flexibility streaming affords in interviewing major figures across the news landscape — and finding new ways to tell stories," Wallace said in a statement.

We will see who they replace him with. I would have rather watched reruns of Tony Snow for the past 18 years. I must just come back to Fox now. We will see.

I bought some shares in DWAC. Lots of issues with it but, want to support Trump and new conservative media. Fingers crossed on all counts.

It was always Chris Wallace’s job to protect the DC interests by tamping down any sunlight upon corrupt UniParty politics. That’s the reason why CTH called Wallace the deep swamp ‘gatekeeper‘ for a decade.
Wallace, the top player amid many such players at Fox News, was always a narrative platform provider to distribute media points that supported the institutional administrative state in DC. However, thanks to the rise of pragmatic conservatism, a movement created by Donald Trump and commonly identified as MAGA, in recent years more people have caught on to how this insufferable media game is played.
Chris Wallace was increasingly becoming naked to his audience, and as a direct outcome, increasingly useless for propaganda distribution. Today, the functionally obsolescent gatekeeper announced, effective immediately he was leaving Fox News. Moments later CNN announced Chris Wallace was joining them. In essence, Wallace moves from controlled opposition to direct opposition. WATCH:
The CNN welcome announcement is AVAILABLE HERE.
Wallace was not the first departure. The increased public awareness of the manipulative construct that is Fox News (writ large) is the same reason why Steve Hayes and Jonah Goldberg were released. That is also the same motive for Fox hiring Dan Bongino.
Although it is yet to be announced, the Fox News contracts for Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham also will not be renewed after their current terms expire. With more people finding more places where genuine source material facts are cited with sunlight, the ability for controlled opposition pundits to thrive is demonstrably lessened.
Traditional cable news is modifying itself accordingly with subscription based services.
If you want to avoid uncomfortable truth; if you want to be fed propaganda; if you want to get talking points just to support your skewed and ideologically flawed world view; if you want to avoid confronting your own preconceptions; the subscriber services from both Fox News and CNN will now provide the direct injection of propaganda and misinformation you need to retain the status quo. This is the new business model for cable news platforms.
An entirely new media infrastructure has assembled outside the influence of corporations. Understanding current events, real news and information based on fact, is no longer dependent on corporations. Independent researchers and information providers are giving the raw material citations directly to audiences on a variety of platforms.
In the bigger picture, these are the consequences from identifying “fake news” publicly, and yes, we can thank Donald J Trump for that. This is the biggest gift that Donald Trump created outside of his America-First political agenda. Donald J Trump was/is a walking red-pill; a “touchstone”: a visible, empirical test or criterion for determining the quality or genuineness of anything political.
Without Trump, the business models of CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and the alphabet broadcasters would never have collapsed as quickly. He alone accomplished that.

When Chris W. took over the Sunday Show in 2003, I left that show...never liked him before nor do I like him now...
He is a two face fraud...liberal democrat like his late dad was..and he will never change....
I watch FOX because the rest of the networks lie and tell fairy tales...taught to all of them by Barry Hussein Obama..
Chris won’t be missed...wish that MEDIA BUZZ joker would leave too...he gets on my last nerve...
Have a great week posters...

"All 3 hosts are very good unlike Fox and Friends on
weekdays with Ainsley airhead who spoils the whole show." Well, Ainsley is there to look at not to listen to.

Sooo...Here I thought I was the only person out there that don’t watch TV. On Jan 6, I turned it off and haven’t turned it back on. Haven’t missed it at all. Free Republic for news and streaming You Tube is all the news I need.

Wallace will not advance the CNN’s already abysmal ratings. More people watch the Cartoon Network than watch CNN

Yay!
So glad to be rid of this Dem shill.
He never belonged on FOX.
Is he mixed up in the big sex scandal with all his best buds at CNN?
