Chris Wallace whips on the Amnesty International guy
Fox News Sunday

Posted on 06/05/2005 6:25:05 AM PDT by Armedanddangerous

I'm pleasantly surprised this morning about what I saw on Fox News Sunday. Chris Wallace actually acted like a real journalist.


TOPICS: Crime/Corruption; Foreign Affairs; Government; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: amnesty; amnestyinternational
When Wallace interviewed the Amnesty International guy, he really let him have it. He continually pressed the guy to provide proof of AI's accusasions of systematic abuse of terrorist prisoners.

The guy hemmed and hawed and hommina homminaed around and could not provide any.

Then Wallace asked why they did not mention all the good things Coalition Forces did in Iraq. The guy didn't have a good answer for that one too.

Then Chris finally put the jerk away. "Sir, didn't you contribute to John Kerry's 2004 campaign? Haven't you already contributed to Ted Kennedy's 2006 campaign?"

As they say, a silence filled the air. He admitted he made those contributions and said his political contributions don't mean anything.

After that, the AI guy was shot down.

I was soo proud of Chris. It won't last though. He will make up for it next week by bashing a conservative.

What's wrong with bashing a conservative? As a media man he is supposed to be unbiased and an equal opportunity basher. I rather have him go after both sides than worship the Left like most of his buddies.

I like bashing, if it's fair, and isn't done to earn liberal cocktail party invitations.

Well, maybe that makes up a little for the puff piece interview Jullian gave him on F@F this morning. They seemed to agree on almost everything.

Julian interviewed another leftist, from Human rights Watch.

Fox News should not let its weekend anchors do any serious interviews without an opposing view.

He was clearly not up to the interview.It was awful.
