Did Chris Wallace ever show up on that silly project?

Chris Wallace: call your agent.

*spit*

Always nice to see some good news.

As they should. The finance officer put millions of dollars into the CNN+ project expecting millions more people to pay for CNN+ when no one even watches the free CNN. It was a foolish investment.

[Lisbon1940]

He has a daily interview show, Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?

Chris Wallace: call your agent.

He supposedly got a 9 million dollar contract. He's like Megyn, walking away with a pile of cash for doing nothing.

Would an appropriate response be: Go Woke, Go Broke !!

If only they had gotten Gen Pus-sackee to move to be on cnn+........

[Grampa Dave]

Economic realities in the real world versus one financed by liberal elites can be a real B$tch!

“He has a daily interview show, Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?”

The cast from Eight is Enough! Where are they now?? I’m Chris Wallace.

[NWFree]

Like I already said the only viable solution to something as corrupt and phony as CNN is to blow it up completely and start over from scratch 🤪

[Recovering_Democrat]

Chris Wallace is a death sentence for anything he joins.

[Boogieman]

Why would this ever even get past the “brainstorming” phase?

Nobody on planet earth has ever said: “gee, 24-hour cable news channels are great, but 24 hours a day is not enough, I need even more cable news and I would be willing to pay extra for it”.

The very notion that every cable channel should start their own separate streaming service was already dumb, but for a channel like CNN, it’s profoundly dumb.

[Col Frank Slade]

Nobody watches it for free in airports and this moron CFO thought people would pay for it ?

[Boogieman]

“Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?”

The answer: nobody important.

[Ge0ffrey]

He’s crying all the way to the bank.

[T.B. Yoits]

Warner Brothers / Discovery needs to be compelled to carry CNN+ forever. Let them bear the burden of the stain they intended to release upon the world.
