Conservatives rarely get opportunities to gloat as delicious as the rapid demise of the streaming service CNN+, reportedly the brainchild of Jeff Zucker, the now ex-head of CNN, the man who dragged the cable news pioneer far to the left. The humiliation stains not just Zucker and CNN, but also Chris Wallace, who left Fox News on a high horse, taking aim at Tucker Carlson and the prime-time opinion hosts at the cable news leader. Already shamed by the fact that Fox News Sunday ratings went up after he left, Wallace now has to contend with savage mockery by the two notable ratings champions at his former employer.
Tucker Carlson, the ratings king of cable news, gloated over CNN media critic Brian Stelter’s floating over Netflix’s decline in subscribers and stock price crash:
But Carlson’s schadenfreude was minor league compared to what Greg Gutfeld offered a few hours earlier, slamming Wallace in each segment of the show. What has to make this doubly painful for Wallace is the fact that Gutfeld’s eponymous late-night comedy is regularly beating the competition for late night comedy/talk shows, despite having a much smaller production budget and writing staff than the competition. Vis the Media Research Center’s Newsbusters, here are Gutfeld’s jabs at Wallace.

Awwww, the participation trophy types don’t like endzone dances.
I’m sure Chrissy will make out fine financially. It’s the humiliation that will be hard to live with.
Why would any one buy a product that you wouldn't watch for free?
Shirley they must have had a professional consulting company giving them advice, I mean if you invest THREE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS, what was the business plan and who wrote it?
Air America lasted way longer!
The marketing plan failed to account for the fact that liberals are cheapskates and won’t spend their own money on things they expect to be free
So it cost 50% more than the Titanic (adjusted for inflation) and stayed afloat seven times as long. Not too shabby.
I wonder whether they were able to get 1317 paying passengers aboard?
$300 mil isn’t what it once was.
-—Why would any one buy a product that you wouldn’t watch for free?-—
Indeed. But it’s even worse. Why would anyone watch a show that I wouldn’t watch if someone paid me?
“Fox News Sunday ratings went up after he left”
HAHAHAHAHA
Chrissy should have known. The guy was most despised by FOX viewers but thought he could make it big at CNN.
He should have paid attention to what happened to Megyn Kelly when she tried to make it big in MSM lefty land.
Those people hate and never forget.
Tucker mentioned that they had around 10,000 paying “customers”, with probably most being family and relatives. LOL.
Chris Wallace is 74 years old.
He just got paid $9 million for 30 days of work.
I believe he may be able to retire to the country and never have to work for the rest of his life.
Unless the $9M came with the hook that he will have to work for CNN now.
Chrissy has the money but he likes the attention he gets on air.
Chrissy Wallace is probably going to end up doing Car Shield or $9.95 per month life insurance commercials.
"The Democrat bench is thinner than Chris Wallace's demo reel from CNN+"
"BLM has done to black people what Chris Wallace did to CNN+"
"I think it (climate change) is a challenge that we will be facing, but a lot of the solutions that are coming from the left are unreliable....I mean look at CNN+ and how much money they invested in wind power by hiring Chris Wallace."
CNN finds out the hard way selling socialism isn’t the right path.
Doesn’t surprise me that it failed.
Why would anyone PAY to watch CNN garbage when they can get it free from ABC,CBS,NBC,NYT,WP,BBC etc.? See Tagline.
Fed to Wall St./MSM/academia to Bolshevik Revolution(you don't think all that stimulus/quantitative easing went towards "Main. St." economy, do you?) .
Money is no object.
But don't try this at home...it's called counterfeiting/money laundering/Ponzi Scheme/etc., if YOU do it...and Uncle Fed will throw YOUR a$$ in jail.
The enemy is here.
