Fox News host Chris Wallace, a registered Democrat, faced intense backlash on Tuesday night for what was widely deemed as bias in the debate in the favor of Democrat Joe Biden and against Republican President Donald Trump.
One of the issues that Wallace was called out for the most was how he appeared to let Biden interrupt Trump but would jump in to interrupt Trump when Trump would talk over Biden.
Fox News host Brian Kilmeade even noted the discrepancy and called it out on social media, writing: “Why is @JoeBiden allowed to interrupt? @realDonaldTrump is not.”
Fox News contributor Andy McCarthy wrote: “I love Chris Wallace, but he should get out of the way.”
McCarthy added: “Biden doesn’t support the Green New Deal. Oh, Wallace got that out of him? No, Trump did. Oh, well, did Wallace clarify what’s parts of Green New Deal Biden is against? No, needed to move on …”
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said that it was “not good” when Wallace reportedly laughed with Biden.

None of this should have been a surprise. If it is, up the dosage.
The thing is, it didn’t help Biden, because it creates the impression that Biden can’t fight his own battles.
That’s not good when auditioning to be the leader of the free world.
It is what it is and we knew this going in. Trump accepted the moderator. I’m sure he didn’t have much of a choice or moderators.
Probably 60% of the people noticed this and all we need is a majority to win.
And just to be frank, it is very few times that debates have won or lost an election.
the one thing that makes me happy is seeing telemundo poll and Trump winning two to one there.
Cool.

Even Reagan’s first debate with Mondale in 1984 was a flop, even Reagan admitted so.
From the article:
Attorney Harmeet Dhillon wrote on Twitter: “Chris Wallace is a disgrace. Republicans need to stop allowing the slanted media to have any role in debates in future years.”
I hope this puts an end to this retromingent bastard’s career, God knows no one will miss that gawd awful voice!!!
Wallace also argued for Biden. Trump once asked if he was debating him or Biden.
Wallace never argued against Biden.
It’s hard to imagine
Mondale overwhelming anybody, but it happened that one time.
Just as I suspected.
Trump's team agreed to it!!! As much as I share your outrage, half of it must be directed at Trump -- whoever on his team who agreed to this.
Now do a Google search for 2020 presidential debates. From my reading, Chris Wallace is the *least* anti-Trump moderator for this season's debates. So you're in for a ride...
Trump is genius when it comes to media and self-promotion, but these debate moderator selections are not "winning!".
I think the biggest poll tonight is the telemundo one but I can’t find an update on it.
People think knowing Italian means you can read Spanish. It’s not true :-)
I went to their website and couldn’t find the poll
I’m glad I slept through it :-)
It would just put me in heart attack territory
:)
If our youngest generation that can vote wasn’t brainwashed and full of idiots this would be a lock.
But those above 40 count for a very large part of the vote and we will win
Problem is, the 1st debate usually has the highest audience. After this sh**show, who wants to watch more?
