awful. fox news host chris wallace tells president trump: you’re seen as a “beacon for repression”
The Gateway Pundit ^ | November 19, 2018 | Jim Hoft

It seems with each week FOX News loses a little more respect from its conservative and pro-Trump base.

Last week FOX News jumped on a court case to support Jim Acosta’s right to be a jackass and hijack White House pressers.

On Sunday FOX News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace told the US President in his one-on-one interview that he is seen as a “beacon of repression” around the world.

The media is over 90% negative on Trump despite his record economy and stellar foreign policy and Wallace attacks the president for questioning the fake news media?

How awful.

Chris Wallace tells President Trump that his 'fake news' attacks make him be "seen around the world as a reason for repression” (!) and Trump replies by reassuring him that 'fake news' doesn't mean Chris Wallace (!!) … most of the time (!!!) pic.twitter.com/wTerUxT5Tp

The Hill reported:

Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace told President Trump that he is viewed as a “beacon for repression around the world” because of his repeated attacks against the press.

Wallace made the statement to Trump while conducting a sit-down interview with the president that was aired on Sunday. In it, Wallace pressed Trump about his rhetoric in regard to the media, noting that most presidents haven’t like the coverage of their administrations.

Meanwhile the same apparatus that SPIED on Trump for OBAMA did this:

“The Justice Department spied extensively on Fox News reporter James Rosen in 2010, collecting his telephone records, tracking his movements in and out of the State Department and seizing two days of Rosen’s personal emails, the Washington Post reported on Monday.

In a chilling move sure to rile defenders of civil liberties, an FBI agent also accused Rosen of breaking anti-espionage law with behavior that—as described in the agent’s own affidavit—falls well inside the bounds of traditional news reporting. (Disclosure: This reporter counts Rosen among his friends.)”

Wallace is and has been a radical leftist dem his whole life. He can never be taken seriously. I wouldn’t have given him an interview. I’d do it with Bill Hemmer but never Wallace.

Chris Wallace IS an enemy of the people.


Chris Wallace is a pal of George Clooney, and Wallace is a raging lib.

The press is seen as a beacon of hate for Trump and the people who voted for him.

Wallace reminded me of the way that Acosta behaved with Pres. Trump.

That’s when DJT should have stood up, took the mic off, handed it to Chris and wished him a good day.

“Stop watching Fox news-it is anti-Trump! Lets see their ratings go into the toilet.”

Do not watch any of their programs, any of them.

I will have to do some homework to answer that. Read it yesterday. Something about younger family members.

Another Issue that I’m aware of is Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal. He was/is a major stockholder in FOX, he lost 1/2 of his fortune soon after Prince MBS came to power. Heard the loss was 58 billion.

Fox has turned on Trump lately this could have contributed.

Anything about what goes on in SA is somewhat speculation. Lots of internal intrigue.

Yes, it will.

I contribute nothing, I want almost no TV. Only what my wife calls me to look at.

The rest of the time, I never turn one on.

Yes. But DJT is direct, he is NOT Rude like these sniveling jerks are.

The foreign bucks are behind this. Otherwise it would quit. It will not.

And I think Trump will be re-elected and serve a full 8 years.

One tough guy.

FOX News Host Chris Wallace Tells President Trump: You’re Seen as a “Beacon for Repression”

I agree on one thing and that is that our current president is making an all out effort to repress that foul odor emanating from that pile of manure composed of corruption and deception in the capitol, and I hope with all my heart that the powers to be give him all the strength he needs to succeed.

"That’s when DJT should have stood up, took the mic off, handed it to Chris and wished him a good day."

I’m not an NYC person. And with all due respect to NYC FReepers, far from it.

But from what I’ve heard, NYC people like Pres. Trump can be thick-skinned.
