I’ve heard Chris Wallace interviewed about being brought on board at FOX.

He said that when he got there he thought all this fuss about left-wing media bias was just sour grapes and right-wing b!tching.

But he said that after a few months on the job, and being exposed to something other than the usual Beltway-D.C.-New York groupthink, he underwent a profound and (for him) unsettling reconsideration of so many things he had taken as gospel—liberal media establishment gospel—and emerged with an entirely different understanding of the views and values in play.

I’m not saying he’s the world’s greatest broadcaster or (by any means) a stalwart conservative. But I think he does at least have some sense of where people like us are coming from.

That’s far more than most news anchors could say. Lord, once I even saw Chris’s revolting father sneer at him, during an interview of the old man, about “your little show over there on...what is it called, FOX?”

What kind of scumbag would talk down to his son like that on national television, especially a son who so eagerly had followed in the father’s professional footsteps?

I found your comment informative, because I didn’t know that Chris had ever discussed his bias. I just knew him to be a flaming liberal who could be surprisingly incisive against liberals, quite capable of leaving them sputtering and never bailing them out.

Equally tough on pubbies, at least they are used to a rough interview and the good ones hold their own with Chris, showing up prepared for the battle.

Thanks for the info.
