Fox News' Chris Wallace on Trump: 'The Media Has Treated Him Too Well'
The Wrap ^ | 1/27/16 | Brian Flood

Posted on 01/27/2016 12:44:29 PM PST by jimbo123

Fox News' Chris Wallace, who will moderate Thursday's Donald Trump-free GOP debate, says his Sunday news show is the only one not handling Trump with kid gloves.

"I think if anything, the media has treated him too well," Wallace told TheWrap. "By that I mean they've allowed him to play by different rules. ...All the other Sunday shows have allowed Trump to call in and do phone interviews. I'm the only Sunday show host that [will only talk] in person. I think that Sunday shows hold themselves to a higher standard."

Meanwhile, the media kisses Hillary’s ample ass at every turn.

And Bernie gets treated like Santa Claus.

All praise for the lefties! s/

Jan Castellano said she pulled back the plastic on an Earth Origins Organic Spread and saw Trump staring back at her.

All Hail, Donald Trump

“At least someone is admitting the truth.”

Yeah, how can we forget all of the accusations of being a:

Rapist
Racist
Xenophobe
Misogynist
Robber Barron
Anti-Islamic
Antisemitic
Being condemned by foreign governments
Having a hit put out on you by a Drug kingpin
Having the SOTU being used to attack you.
No to mention the numerous covers of publications from Esquire to Macleans blatantly stating that they dont like you and you are an evil person....

And NOT conclude people have been treating him TOO well!!!

I swear if Cruz actually becomes the nominee, I will hope for nothing but a ton of bricks from the media to come down on his head just so I can laugh at his supporters as they spend 6 months bitching and moaning about how “unfair and bias” the press is to him.

Cause they know that a phone interview with Cruz will pull in more ratings then an in person interview for anyone else.

Well that's expected, they are all on the same team - the media team.

Media members are so full of themselves it’s a wonder they have time to work between holding banquets and giving each other awards.

OMG Fox people need to quit flapping their jaws about all of this. I am thinking that ALL of the candidates should refuse to do the debate.

No longer have cable but watched Fox News Sunday on local station. Wallace played a great can opener to Rubio's canned responses.

"...smile for the masses, son..."

...surprised FOX didn't put a sparkle to his teeth.

Megyn said a similar thing, that the media makes the rules around here--

It's great that no one, not anyone, controls the media like Trump.

The problem with media coverage of Trump is quantity, not quality. Trump’s coverage dwarfs the rest of the field combined. The media has virtually blacked out most of the field, and much of the press that others get is nothing more than horse race stuff keyed to a dominant Trump narrative. This may be simply a case of the media being attracted to tabloid sensationalism. Or it may be the media trying to make Trump, a certain loser in November, the Republican nominee. Or both.

Guy Benson on Fox News:

“It’s very much like a Democrat to refuse to debate on Fox News.”

They know Trump is a lot like Kim Jong-un. He only wants yes men and sycophants.
