Chris Wallace: Media Bias 'Astonishing'

"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.

"Fox News wouldn't exist if it weren't for this kind of stuff going on in the mainstream media," he told Carr.

Very good point Chris

I heard this live on the radio show. Newsmax reporting is 100% accurate, but incomplete.

He actually said considerably more about media bias than is reported in the Newsmax article.

I would love to hear it. Does Howie have transcripts anywhere?

A drunk fails to smell the alcohol reeking from his body that others hold their breath to avoid.

This is the the current state of the MSM. Consider FOX News a sobriety check point or detoxification.

Yep people don't notice the stink if they live in it day after day. Only when they get fresh air do they discover what a smell they had been in.

I do not like Bush!

He is a fiscal Liberal! 30 years ago - he would NOT have been able to run as a Republican!

You can "not like" him if you want, but it is silly to think he is fiscally left of Gerald Ford, GOP candidate in 1976, or Richard Nixon, candidate in 1968 and 1972. Nixon invoked price controls to stop inflation, for heavens sake.

You signed on to say that?

"Consider FOX News a sobriety check point or detoxification."

LOL!

Hardly. Seems like the same drunk with a mouth full of Sen-Sen, to me. ;)

I'm shocked - the media is biased? This is hugh...

I hope you're not attributing "my sides" comments to me. President Bush is certainly right of Nixon and Ford. I suspect, however, that many of us here wish he would take a more fiscally conservative approach to government spending, starting with the billions of dollars of pork that has been initiated and approved by the members of our party.

Absolutley true.

Looks like Chris is waking up. Maybe not so much his father's son?

Nobody gores his own ox. To wit: "Congress is corrupt, but my Congressman is an OK guy." Or: "public schools are in sad shape, but my kid's school (and teachers) are doing a fine job."

Mike Wallace used to call himself a Republican. Nixon even let him have exclusive interviews.

[TN4Liberty]

I hope you're not attributing "my sides" comments to me.

No, the now departed "my side" had made a comment, and you replied that at least he had a reason for disliking Bush. I was only sharing my response with you that his reason as stated was not factual. I agree that Bush needs to spend a lot less, but his tax and regulatory positions are conservative.

[Labyrinthos]

Thanks.

It is 2005 and Chris is an educated man. If it took this long to figure this out, he has unqualified for his job.

I see you're new around here.
