Chris Wallace, the disgraced ex-Fox News Channel host, took a number of cheap shots at his former place of employment during an exclusive interview with The New York Times.
“I just no longer felt comfortable with the programming at Fox,” said Wallace, the notorious never-Trumper.
Mr. Wallace left Fox News after nearly two decades to take a low-level job hosting a digital program on CNN, the fledgling leftwing news channel.
He castigated both the network and Tucker Carlson, the top-rated host in all of cable television.
“I’m fine with opinion: conservative opinion, liberal opinion,” Mr. Wallace said in his first extensive interview about his decision to leave. “But when people start to question the truth — Who won the 2020 election? Was Jan. 6 an insurrection? — I found that unsustainable.”
Mr. Wallace told The Times he spent “a lot of 2021 looking to see if there was a different place for me to do my job.”
He told the newspaper that he was “so alarmed by Mr. Carlson’s documentary ‘Patriot Purge’ — which falsely suggested the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was a ‘false flag’ operation intended to demonize conservatives — that he complained directly to Fox News management.”

Didn’t Carlson’s ‘Patriot Purge’ also drive off Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes? Job well done, Tucker.
Oh, thanks, I didn’t catch that “digital program” on CNN part, as being CNN+. I never watch anything CNN, unless there’s some urgent breaking news and I’m swapping between channels looking for more info. I thought Wallace already had a show on CNN as soon as he had left Fox.
I couldn’t stand Wallace ever since he, Brett Baer and that MegEgo Kelly had colluded with the DNC/RNC to sabotage candidate Trump in the debates that thankfully never happened because Mr. Trump declined to attend.
So if Fauci is "the science", then who according to Wallace is "the truth".
Don't question "the science". Don't question "the truth".
These people are deranged.
Thanks, I just learned that.
Whoopie on top.
Ditto when people call the relative handful of unarmed protestors who went into the Capitol (many waved through by the police), an insurrection (when NONE of them were armed) - I agree - that's inexcusable.You mean like Fox News official Jan 6 spokesmouth Bret Baier did.
Congrats to Tucker.
“he was “so alarmed by Mr. Carlson’s documentary ‘Patriot Purge’ — which falsely suggested the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was a ‘false flag’ operation intended to demonize conservatives — that he complained directly to Fox News management.”
Sounds to me like the ordinance detonated in excessive proximity to the intended target.
Fox News anchor Bret Baier said Tuesday's testimony from four members of law enforcement who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 pokes a hole in efforts by some of President Trump's allies to downplay the deadly incident or discredit the congressional investigation.
Jughead AKA Fox News is pointing at you with a scowl.
b hosting a digital program on CNN
Yes, you’re correct, thanks.
Hopefully Brett Baier will leave as well. He is a class A POS!
He belongs at fox anyways. They started turning before the election. But the night of election they went full tilt. Can’t believe they got some viewers back. I don’t watch them at all. Now I see directv is cutting OAN from there service. So I am cutting directv. I only paid them because I wanted the Sunday ticket during football season.
Yep. Isn’t it amazing the utter hypocrisy and gall to claim a ONE day protest on Jan.6th was an “insurrection” yet I damn well remember the endless protests and riots when Trump was elected 2016. And those riots went on for 4 years ON TOP of the Russia collusion coup attempt. And we have ON AUDIO Nancy Pelosi, Obama, Kamala all voicing support for BLM and Antifa where there is NO evidence in the slightest of Trump ever supporting the Capital entry. All we have is him asking people to “peaceably protest” and HE gets investigated for inciting and insurrection? It’s outrageous and I blame the Republican party for once again sitting back and twiddling its thumbs doing absolutely nothing to fight back
Metaphysics now in Woke crowd cross-hairs.
Q: Mr Wallace, did you have any prior knowledge of the planned Fox News attack debate on Trump prior to the ‘16 election?
A: “Russia Russia Russia”
