"Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace said Friday that since leaving the mainstream networks behind to join Fox he's noticed an "astonishing" amount of biased reporting on the part of his former colleagues.
"I came from the mainstream media and I didn't used to feel this way," Wallace told WRKO Boston radio host Howie Carr.
In radio interviews he does to promote his Sunday broadcast, Wallace said, the questions he gets are almost always slanted against the Bush administration.

Daddy must be about ready to disown him.
Hey, you brought it up. Then, you felt the need to explain.
Besides, who cares what I think?
Not wanting contention hits it on the head - many of the "Silent Generation" as it was dubbed here on FR, are not grandstanders, they live their lives quietly and hated the upheaval of the 60s after the tranquility of the 50's.
I have told my parents several times thay I find it very interesting that for 2 non-political, Democratic Party leaning parents they raised such tried and true conservatives - and they shrug their shoulders. Part of it is me and my brothers grew up in the Washington DC area - politics 24/7, inside the beltway mentality. My parents grew up in a small coal-mining town in PA - kinda poor but happy. 2 different worlds.
One day we will have a very good discussion - she knows I love her and for now that is good. Thanks for all the pointers, I will always listen to good advise.
Good Night, off to get kids in bed and walk the dog!

Well Duh, he just noticed this? He said he didn't realize it until moving to Fox? All Bush reporting is mean spirited, slanted, and intended to destroy him. Kind of like over half of the threads on this forum the past several weeks.
WOW Catcher mitt son is saying this I am shock
Behold the proof of a successful propaganda campaign!
They can give you the opinions they passionately hold, but they can't begin to give you a substantive reason for holding them.
It's nothing but pure artifice masquerading as thought.
Someday, ask her what are the odds, given the law of averages, that one person could be ALL bad, NEVER do anything right, and NEVER deserve a positive story?
Then point out that on the MSM, America itself is ALL bad, NEVER does anything right, and NEVER gets a positive story. Is that the America she knew/knows?
That's what converted me... how could the US be in the wrong in EVERY conflict? It just didn't pass the smell test. Then I started thinking, and looking.
(However, my mom was the same, don't expect much success!)
And IMO Fox News has given in WAY TOO MUCH to the constant criticism of the left in what they do.
I used to tune in for an oasis from the left-wing bombardment that rains down not just from news sources, but every form of media right down to sitcom drivel. Anymore their efforts to bend over backwards to appease the left (which can only be achieved through COMPLETE surrender to their Brave New World political correctness) has me tuning in far less.
He may also have found it refreshing to discover that conservatives are aloud to have ideas of their own and think for themselves, after having been immersed the the Brave New World oligarchy all his life.
Thanks for the ping!
I gathered that she wasn't "that" kind of girlfriend, but I sometimes forget that some folks can't read sarcasm.
Still, you gotta know, that when you throw around phrases like: "my 7 year old girlfriend" on a public forum where people don't know you; you're likely to get some inquries of one form or another.
LOL :-)) It could be except MY aunt doesn't have any children. Maybe my aunt's sister is your mother, and they think alike??
Right, I don't trust Chris Wallace either.

I try to read folks homepages before I comment one way or another on "delicate" subjects like this . . . then I never try to be judgmental until I get more facts. The term "pedo-perv" was provocative and cruel . . . something I would NEVER be to another fellow FReeper.
If any 52 year-old FReeper had written the EXACT same post I did, I would read his or her homepage, then assume there was some kind of inside joke not meant for me and leave it at that.
If you had read my homepage, I would hope you would've known the term was used in jest. I've adopted some nieces and nephews because of something similar to this. I've only been able to handle it physically, mentally, AND FINANCIALLY because of Monica's family. Someone in their family has worked with someone in my family for 85 years now and I love them beyond measure. My nieces and nephews and Monica and her brothers and sisters are the closest thing I'll ever have to children of my own.
Your use of the term "pedo-perv" was totally uncalled for . . . sarcasm or not. This family reads EVERY post I make to Free Republic and that is the only reason I'm going into such detail.
Mine and your interaction was discussed at length at their supper table last night. To even have to have this discussion with such a good, caring, loving, and impressionable young child broke my heart. I'll pass on your explanation . . . but she read your post before I did and her mother told me she spent an hour trying to figure out what a "pedo-perv" was before I called her.
She loves it when I refer to her in my posts . . . that's why I did so. I wanted her to know how proud I was of her. But I will do so no longer.
If you would like to send me a "private reply" to help her understand, I'll see to it that she gets it.
:o)
See you at the next family reunion - should be fun eh?
