Chris Wallace pans John Bolton's White House tell-all: 'It is a bore'
Fox News ^ | June 26 2020 | Joshua Nelson

Posted on 06/26/2020 3:40:31 AM PDT by knighthawk

"Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace told the "Fox News Rundown" podcast Friday that former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s new book recounting his time in the Trump administration "is a bore."

"I've got a copy of it and I've been reading it ... " Wallace told host Chris Foster. "I mean, it's like he just disgorged his diary ... Literally, you'll be reading and you see, 'At 11:00 on this day, I had this meeting with these people and at 12:00, I had this meeting with these people.' And, you know, sometimes the meeting is really interesting and sometimes the meeting did nothing.

"There just seems to have been no editor to say, ‘Well, let’s forget the meeting at 11 that didn’t accomplish anything,'” Wallace continued. “So, you find yourself skimming through the book to find the good stuff -- and there is some good stuff, there's some interesting stuff -- but, boy, you've got to wade through it.”

They have competing books (not that I'll buy either one--though Rush endorsed Wallace's).

Currently Wallace's book (released two weeks ago) is ranked #41 on Amazon.

Bolton's book (released this week) is ranked #1.

boy, you've got to wade through it.

I was thinking maybe all the diary excerpts were included to pad the book's length. But it's nearly 600 pages, lol! That's a lot of wading.

Wallace checked the index and didn’t see his name. End of book report.

Wallace and Bolton can go head-to-head. It will be like a second Boer War.

Book deals for lefties is a form of money laundering.

From the article:

“So, you find yourself skimming through the book to find the good stuff...”

Now what would Wallace consider “good stuff”? I’m sure his measurement wouldn’t have anything to with the level of criticism toward President Trump, would it?

A real journalist would also look at the areas where Bolton/Trump agreed/worked together and he would ask Bolton about those.

Wallace isn’t a real journalist. He’s a gotcha TV hack, like his dad.

Interesting, Chrissy pans the book.

That’s why President Trump and team let the content go.
-The book is boring???
-Bolton is nuts and he is the cheerleader for Globalist schemes such as endless wars. Fake News does not want to tie their wagon to crazy
-Fake News could (???) be held crimminally responsible for hyping and broadcasting Confidential content
-The Feds can claw back all book revenues. Could the Feds claw back revenue from Fake News pimping the book???? Who wants to test that risk in a court room

I’d rather watch the adventures of Yosemite Sam cartoons to admire a real man with an uber mustache.

The ‘good stuff’ that jerk is looking for is stuff that trashes Trump. Fox needs to let Wallace move on to a liberal network.
