The problem I have with Wallace isn't the tough questions he asks, but rather the answers he accepts at face value. He tends to not press when he gets obvious BS answers, just like dear old dad.....
Hmmm...I haven’t seen that. In fact, I’ve seen him tell guests a few times (point blank) that they haven’t answered the question. Almost all liberal anchors won’t do that—unless the guest is conservative.
That being said, I think ALL these news anchors are on a short leash. They can needle a guest who their think isn’t being candid, but can’t cross the line to badgering them—or people won’t come on the show. Badgering would be coming back a third time to the same questions vs. moving on. Bill O’Reilly will badger his guests, which is why he has trouble getting the interviews he wants. Seems like 70% of the time, he can’t get people on his show, so he gets stand ins to argue their case.
