On Tuesday night, during the first presidential debate, Chris Wallace was weak and ineffectual. He was also a partisan without the decency to admit it. On Wednesday, Wallace blamed Trump for his own failings, a coward's way out. And Friday, he announced that Scott Atlas, M.D. is not qualified to talk about Wuhan virus policy because he is not an epidemiologist. This almost random collateral attack has nothing to do with the important skill sets Atlas brings to Trump's White House Coronavirus Task Force. The real reason why Scott Atlas is in the left's crosshairs is that he's a new...

Chris Wallace's annual salary is $7 million. His current contract was signed in September 2017 and runs several years beyond the 2020 election according to reports at the time the deal was announced.

The demise of Fox News as an alternative to the establishment media marched on Thursday when both Chris Wallace and John Roberts exposed themselves as liars. Wallace and Roberts are not just anyone on Fox News, are not just your run-of-the-mill media liars. Wallace hosted Tuesday’s presidential debate and hosts Fox News Sunday.

EXCERPT Wallace, who moderated the first presidential debate on Tuesday, reacted during a conversation on Fox News with Sandra Smith: "I'm gonna say something, and folks, I'm just trying to give you the truth. Folks, Dr. Scott Atlas is not an epidemiologist, is not an infectious disease specialist. He has no training in this area at all." ... "There are a number of top people on the president's coronavirus task force who have had grave concerns about Scott Atlas and his scientific bona fides," Wallace continued. "He can't know because the president is just in the earliest stages of this....

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace had a lot of thoughts on Friday morning following the massive news that President Donald Trump has tested positive for COVID-19, scolding the Trump family for declining to wear masks at Tuesday’s debate and then, in a later segment, dismissing the expertise of the president’s Fox-friendly coronavirus adviser. Appearing on Fox & Friends, Wallace excoriated the Trumps for refusing to adhere to the safety restrictions put in place by the Cleveland Clinic at the debate hall. Fox host Sandra Smith, meanwhile, brought up an “exclusive interview” that the network recent obtained from Dr. Scott Atlas,...

Chris Wallace says that President Trump "bears the primary responsibility" for what happened during the debate for "being determined to butt in and throw Joe Biden off"

'I had baked this beautiful, delicious cake and frankly, the president put his foot in it,' Wallace tells Bill Hemmer. "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace joined "Bill Hemmer Reports" Thursday to reflect on Tuesday night's explosive first presidential debate between President Trump and Joe Biden. Wallace, who moderated the 94-minute clash in Cleveland, began by joking that the highlights host Bill Hemmer played had led to a recurrence the "PTSD" he had "just gotten over."

Fox News’ Chris Wallace had his hands full during Tuesday night’s presidential debate, but many say the veteran anchor could’ve done a better job moderating the debate fairly. On Wednesday, the Daily Caller’s Greg Price posted several videos on Twitter highlighting the moments where Wallace appeared to press President Trump on several sensitive issues yet refused to apply the same standard when questioning Biden. One of those instances included Wallace refusing to press Biden on whether the Democrats intend to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court. Wallace asked Biden if Democrats plan to eliminate the Senate filibuster...

Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh weighed in on Tuesday evening’s presidential debate on Wednesday, stating that moderator Chris Wallace and Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden were “ganging up on” President Donald Trump.

Political debates only reveal a candidate's abilities and beliefs if we can follow what's going on. Let's auto-mute mics for candidates not on the clock. Of the many things this nation must reaffirm, itÂ’s that words matter and promises should be kept. If former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump stick to the commitments their campaigns agreed to months ago, Americans will have the option to sit through two more presidential debates this year.As soon as is possible, however, the Commission on Presidential Debates must ensure a return to an informative, meaningful, and respectful discussion between the candidates...

After the first presidential debate on Tuesday, Democrats savaged President Donald Trump as a “white supremacist” and even Republicans said they wished the president had vocally condemned white supremacists. Trump clarified his remarks on Wednesday, explaining that he did not know who the Proud Boys are, insisting that he has “always denounced any form” of white supremacy, and demanding that Democratic nominee Joe Biden vocally denounce antifa. During the debate, Fox News anchor and moderator Chris Wallace asked Trump, “Are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups” — Trump cut in, saying, “Sure” — “and to say...

Chris Wallace said Wednesday that Tuesday evening's presidential debate was 'a terrible missed opportunity' that 'went off the tracks'. In his first comments since the event, the moderator said he accepted a glass of champagne from CEO of the Fox Corporation Lachlan Murdoch while waiting at the airport for his flight home from Cleveland

Chris Wallace and Democrats can keep pretending the right is to blame for the violence. But we were in Kenosha, talking to people on the ground. Voters know who the peaceful protesters are and who the rioters are. If Chris Wallace’s goal during Tuesday night’s debate was to deflect from the months of left-wing violence from Black Lives Matter extremists and Antifa and instead blame it on President Donald Trump and his supporters, he did an excellent job.“You have repeatedly criticized the vice president for not specifically calling out Antifa and other left-wing extremist groups,” Wallace, the debate moderator who...

CLEVELAND, OH—During last night's explosive and chaotic debate, Trump totally steamrolled that loser Biden, and Biden totally put that fat meanie Trump in his place as most pundits predicted would happen. In the middle of the fiery debate, moderator Chris Wallace suddenly excused himself and left the debate hall to go jump in a volcano. "Excuse me, Sir," Wallace said in his booming broadcasting voice to a local Cleveland resident outside the building. "Do you have any active volcanoes nearby in Ohio?" The helpful local motioned in the general direction of Mexico, where several active volcanoes are located. Wallace then...

Several Fox News anchors criticized their colleague, Chris Wallace, for the way he handled the first presidential debate as a moderator. The debate was contentious from beginning to end with Wallace struggling to stop President Trump and Joe Biden from interrupting each other, launching personal attacks, and getting off-topic. Wallace repeatedly asked the candidates to let each other speak and at one point, Wallace raised his voice to end a clash between the president and Joe Biden. “Why should I be different from the two of you?” he said.

Correct https://t.co/6p4fZcHHQa— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) September 30, 2020 I rewatched the start of the debate. The 1st Q went to Trump who gave an uninterrupted 2-min response. Then Biden gave an uninterrupted 2-min response. Then it went back to Trump, whose answer was interrupted 3 times by Biden. If you didn't like it, blame Biden for starting it.— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) September 30, 2020

Here’s a sampling of headlines in major news outlets that purported to capture an exchange on white supremacy between President Trump, Joe Biden, and moderator Chris Wallace during Tuesday night’s debate.Trump refuses to denounce white supremacy, says ‘stand back and stand by’ on Proud Boys movementTrump sidesteps call to condemn white supremacists, points to extremism on the left‘Stand back and stand by.’ During debate, President Trump again refuses to condemn white supremacistsDonald Trump refuses to condemn white supremacists at presidential debateTrump Refuses to Condemn White Supremacy, Instead Telling Far-Right Group: ‘Stand Back and Stand By’Trump does not condemn white...

'Well, first of all, I guess I’m debating you, not him,' Trump said to Chris Wallace during Tuesday's 2020 presidential debate. Fact check: True. Debating one person is difficult, especially if he’s had oodles of alone time in his basement to prepare while you’ve been a little busy leading the country. Debating that person and a partisan media hack at the same time is just BS.That, however, was President Donald Trump’s exact plight Tuesday night at the first 2020 presidential debate, when he was treated to a two-on-one showdown with his actual opponent Joe Biden and his honorary rival, Fox...

While Trump failed to land the early blows he seemingly could have, Biden failed to make the case for why he should be president. The first presidential debate of the 2020 presidential election closed after 96 chaotic, bruising minutes that saw advantages wasted, interruptions abound, a failure by both sides to make a definitive case, and what at times seemed like a three-way fight largely focused on Democratic talking points.President Donald Trump came out of the gate hard, attempting to knock Vice President Biden on his heels with the kind of comments that have defined his interview style since the...

Hollywood stars ripped Fox News’ Chris Wallace for his role as the moderator of the first presidential debate on Tuesday, saying that the news anchor was too timid and lost control of the proceedings as President Donald Trump took control of the stage through sheer force of will. Chris Wallace — who repeated that false Charlottesville “very fine people” hoax and erroneously referred to critical race theory as “racial sensitivity training”– had trouble maintaining even a semblance of order as President Donald Trump went on the offensive, dominating the show by aggressively interrupting and heckling Joe Biden. Celebrities seemed frustrated...
