Fox News' Chris Wallace: Useful Dhimmi and Inept Interviewer
Amerisrael ^

Posted on 06/27/2011 4:52:42 PM PDT by Amerisrael

Most everyone has now heard about or watched FNS host Chris Wallace' insulting question to Rep. Michelle Bachman:

"Are you a flake?"

Wallace has since offered a sort-of apology. But the damage was done and lefties, GOP elitists, no doubt took delight.

The fact of the matter is that some in Congress and the Administration do embrace views that are "anti-American". We are fortunate to have those members of Congress who acknowldege and understand this threat.

This is not the first time Wallace has served the role of a useful dhimmi interviewer:

Just a few weeks ago during his FNS interview with Herman Cain, Wallace regurgitated the false Islamic propaganda pertaining to the so-called "right of return".

As long as Wallace has been a journalist he should know better. But apparently he is even more clueless. 

The so-called "right to return",or "right of return", has become a phrase used to mean Arabs who became refugees after abandoning their homes and property in Israel at the urging of their Arab Muslim leaders in 1948.

They did not leave because they were-"...kicked...",- as Chris Wallace asserted. Rather, they left at the urging of their own Arab leaders. 

During the eight years of the Bush Administration, Condi Rice was a frequent guest on FNS with Chris Wallace. In each case the interview amounted to nothing more than a extra soft, soft, softball interview.

Among the questions that Wallace should have put to Rice were:

How is it remotely possible that you can equate the suffering of blacks in the "Old South" with Islamists who want to destroy Israel?

[In January of 2006 candidates representing Hamas won a clear majority of legislative seats in the PA.  Bush tried to whitewash this by saying Hamas campaigned on a platform to "fight corruption" and render better "social services".

Such an explanation is willful denial of reality.  It was not as though the "Palestinian people" were cluesless of the terrorist ideology of Hamas. And it was not an impediment as to how they voted.]

The reason for the security barrier in Israel and the road checkpoints is due directly to terrorism against Israel, not "apartheid".

Next question for Rice:

How can the U.S. government continue to spend $millions of taxpayer dollars to fund the Palestinian Authority in violation of the U.S. laws against funding terrorist organizations?

[The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade is a recognized terrorist organization. It is also the official military wing of Fatah which runs the Palestinian Authority. Members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade openly serve in PA security services.]

On different occasions watching FNS there has often been the frustration of Wallace not asking the questions he should be asking. And then asking,- stupid questions.

A few years back Caroline Glick wrote an article entitled "How Olmert Defies Gravity".

In that article Glick referenced an Israeli journalist who made the statement-

"...it is scandalous for the government to trade access to policymakers for positive coverage. But the fact is that such arrangements are the stock in trade of politics."

Such most likely is the case in America media and politics as well.

One thing is for sure, - if Chris Wallace had ever put Condi Rice on the hot seat, and asked questions like the ones above, there most likely never would have been anymore access to Sect.of State Condi Rice for his FNS show.

My wife thinks that incident was staged - agreed on between Wallace and Bachmann before the telecast, to give her the opportunity to address the "flake" thing..

If true, of course, we'll never know and neither one of them will ever be able to admit it.

If any sincere conservative politicians ever grant that asscrack another interview then they're fools

My little respect I have for Fox News erodes every day with Shepard Smith, Bore O'Reilly, now this jackass. What the hell has happened to this previously upright news source?

And recently Hannity has been giggling over comments about him made by that Calvin Broadus (known by some morons as Snoop Dog) that Hannity was really cool, and Hannity's love affair with Bob Beckel, a Clinton stooge and hack. And notice that Hannity doesn't even mention the Right to Life anymore on any of his shows.Anyone?

I used to watch Fox News in the a.m. religiously until it became a stage for book sales of their newspeople and less a stage for conservative news.

What has happend to Fox News?

My sentiments exactly!! I saw that interview, and I’m sorry to say I’ve seen the same sort of outright bitchy-ness from Wallace interviewing other conservatives. It’s really, really sad, that the one venue conservatives had some fairly equal access to is now actively trying to sink the campaign of any real conservative candidate. Hannity positively gives me the $hitz, ORiley is a pompous ass, Huckleberry is using FNC to try to promote bad music and mealy mouthed apologist politics-—there is now more reason to turn FOX on once Beck leaves. I’m cancelling my Sat. subscription effective July 1.

Chris Wallace is endlessly impressed with his own beamish-boy persona. He's just so pleased that his father's pull got him this job in the national media, he forgets he never earned it.

Like Bill Kristol, just another trust fund jackass too clever by half.

“If true, of course, we'll never know and neither one of them will ever be able to admit it.”

Naw, ain't that complicated; Little Chris is just plain old tired of sitting at home Saturday nights slurping his wife's putrid soup dishes. He merely wants to be loved by the lib's and invited to some of their parties. Simple as that. Be nice to Chris, not easy living in dad's shadow...

I watched an interview Condi did with Lawrence O'Donnell, and she was excellent. She put him in his place. He couldn't demean her if he tried.

Grow up and learn the truth. You clearly have a computer, try using it for a useful purpose and not bantering on about how much your knee jerks when you read the lies in the LSM.

If I somehow missed your, clearly, bad attempt at satire then disregard.
