“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.
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.
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”
And, what, pray tell, is that Mr. Wallace???? Because we've seen your liberal agenda, and lies.
The nice thing is, we will never have to hear from him again.
Who in the hell would pay to watch CNN?
Here’s the REST of the story...as the late, great Paul Harvey might say.
Note Mr. Wallace said he spent “most” of 2021 looking for another place to work. This was anything but a secret at Fox; in the TV biz, when “talent” (and in Wallace’s case, I use the term loosely), seeks new employment options, word gets out pretty fast. By all indications, FNC didn’t make much of an effort to keep him; there was nothing in the industry trades about contract negotiations, efforts to “re-up” Wallace, etc. In fact, if I’m reading the tea leaves in my old biz correctly, it sounds like Fox was almost encouraging Wallace to look around.
And the reasons are obvious. Chris Wallace inherited a last-place Sunday show when he came to Fox and left it in the same position 18 years later. FNC knows they can do better and save some bucks in the process. Unload Wallace and his seven-figure paycheck and use a series of guest hosts. If someone seems to click, give them the job. Heck, they’ve been letting Trace Gallagher host the show. Trace is a very competent anchor, but he’s never been a star at Fox and when they tried to make him a main anchor (hosting the 1 pm program), it ended in failure. Seeing him anchor “Fox News Sunday” tells me the network is in no hurry to fill the job.
Ultimately, I think Fox settles on paying one of their primary anchors a little more to work six days a week, with plenty of Friday “comp” days to offset the weekend shift. I’m guessing Bret Baier or Bill Hemmer gets the nod—if they want it.
If Fox wants to do better than a fourth-place show, they should blow up the format and start over. FNS is just a carbon of every other stale, Sunday interview show. Try something different—Sharyl Atkisson’s weekend program on the Sinclair stations might be a good template. She presents stories from outside the Beltway that actually matter to most Americans. And who knows? Fox might actually attract more viewers.
Chris Wallace has been failing at network TV gigs for over 40 years—ever since he was named the “third anchor” of the Today Show in the early 80s. I guess the family name has allowed him to float from one high-paying network job to another; God knows it wasn’t talent.
Tucker made him cry.
Daddy Mike Wall-Ass was a real piece of work also.
Good riddance to Wallace.
Hope we don’t see him again.
He’s a democrat left wing hack.
Chris Wallace wanted to defend the 2020 election, Fox can't allow that.
In case you haven't noticed Fox has not said one word about the 2020 election since that night...Not one.
That includes not a peep about any of the audits or any other revelations from several states about election fraud.
They're obviously covering up something. They're hoping it will all go away. Too much talk might open a can of worms they can't defend.
Their silence is deafening and telling.
Fox News can rot in hell for their betrayal of the nation and betrayal of a President (his name doesn't matter, it's the office they betrayed)
Chrissy, don’t go away mad, just GO AWAY!!
