Wow! Ben Domenech humiliates Chris Wallace on air for his Biden speech puffery
American Thinker ^ | 1 May, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 05/01/2021 5:10:47 AM PDT by MtnClimber

I confess that like most Americans, I had no interest in watching Joe Biden's non–State of the Union address to a mostly empty House chamber hosting a joint session of Congress. That's why I missed a golden moment during the commentary afterward on Fox News Channel, one that surely stands as what the progressives like to call a "Profile in Courage."

You may have noticed that in recent weeks, FNC has been trying out various personalities from its stable of commentators as hosts of Fox News Primetime that airs in the 7 P.M. Eastern timeslot, the lead-in to Tucker Carlson's program, its (and cable news's) ratings leader. I presume that the personality who does what the executives deem the best job, or maybe gets the highest ratings, or the highest Q Score, will be rewarded with hosting duties on a regular basis. This would be a Very Big Deal for the person snagging the honor. Last week, the host of the program was Ben Domenech, co-founder of The Federalist.

With a potential plum like that a possibility, Domenech deserves a lot of credit for responding to Chris Wallace's praise for Biden's speech the way he did. I don't know why FNC regards Wallace so highly, but he does host Fox News Sunday and virtually always serves as a commentator after major political events. Somebody up there (on the executive floors of FNC) likes him.

Watch the 2-minute video embedded below while you can. It is quite obviously an unauthorized recording of the segment, shot by a camera recording a TV screen, and therefore subject to being pulled down for copyright reasons.

Wallace had just finished his regular routine of pretending to be totally oblivious to the lavish praise he heaps on America Lasters and the seething hatred he harbors for America Firsters. This time around, specifically, he was pretending to be really surprised at just how well he thinks Biden’s speech went (shocker!), and how well he truly believes in his heart of hearts it will be received by the American people (shocker!). (snip)

BlueAnon conspiracy theorist and America Last propagandist, Chris Wallace, wanted Fox News viewers to believe that Biden’s speech was really something uniquely remarkable that will be remembered as such and well-received by an American public that’s eager for what Demented Joe is selling.

That’s the reality that legacy news media propagandists like Chris Wallace are circling the wagons to convince Americans is the truth.

But Ben Domenech, publisher of The Federalist and all-around baller, has a little something to say about Chris Wallace’s history of “waxing eloquently” over Joe Biden speeches, alongside Wallace’s record of getting so many things so spectacularly wrong.

It’s not like us freepers got anything out of it. Heard it all b4. We’ve gotta be there when Wallace does his phony act. No need for me to be there to hear it either way.

Sorry. But, here we go again. “Wow”? Ben did a great job of countering everything Wallace said but nothing earth shattering. Wallace made a fool of himself by stammering and saying “lots of stuff” over and over. It was like listening to my 6 year old nephew.

Wallace says Americans now have a more favorable view of government being able to help after COVID.

So government locks down the country unprecedentedly and kills many jobs. Then they get to play the hero by giving away other people’s money or just raising more debt.

These Americans Chrissy is talking about are SHEEP!

Ben is a smart man. I don’t understand the FOX managements worshop of Wallace. Wallace is a boil on the backside of the body politic.

“ These Americans Chrissy is talking about are SHEEP!”

Who is he talking about? I doubt he researched and studies this. I doubt he gets communication from his audience.

Seems to me he speaks for the administration of Fox. The people who loathe the deplorables. They want to push away tge 74 million and keep their numbers.

Fox lost half its audience. Wallace smirks as he’s speaking. He speaks like a 9 year old trying to sell a bs story on the playground while his audience walks away looking at the ground shaking their heads.

He is making it up

Wallace lies like a rug. To say Americans aren’t going to pay for the “free stuff” is preposterous. Higher prices, taxes, printing money, inflation, recession and or depression are inevitable.

That “boil on the backside” remark is way too kind. Chrissy doesn’t deserve it.

Mr. Meghan McCain is not a genuine America Firster, he just plays one on TV.

He thinks a lot like her, he was on the National Review’s “Against Trump” cover.
