Slow learner pretty much nails the primary characteristic of the FAUX viewer demographic.

I remember gaining more respect for John Wayne Gacy when he quit killing guys and burying them in his crawlspace. People do change. You just have to understand it comes at their own pace.

Anyone else remember when Bill Clinton made a fool out of Wallace for peddling FOX misinformation to ambush Clinton in a live interview?

Wallace stayed with FOX because he was just not good enough to make that kind of money and have such a high profile with a real news network.

The man has principles. Four and a half years sucking Donald Trump’s cock and no more.

Disagree. He could have rode his father’s coattails to an anchor job at any of the three major networks. He lost his way and took the easy path.

Fine, but there’s only ONE WAY to influence Fox: Remove Fox from paid TV subscription bundles.

That’s the main source of their revenue. You can boycott advertisers all you want, but advertising is a drop in the bucket compared to Fox’s share of subscription bundles.

How to get the cable and other bundlers to drop Fox? Well, how about boycotting THEM?

He certainly took his time to reach that conclusion. But I’m sure there must have been millions of reasons for his tardiness.

I had to pay for my education, but Wallace was paid handsomely for his.

This is a fact. I’ve often wondered what effect it would have on their audience numbers if people had to subscribe and pay $4.95/mo to have it.

Fun Fact: About $10 of a cable/satellite TV subscriber’s monthly fee goes to ESPN — Fox News is about $2/mo — regardless of whether they watch it or not.

Fascinating, too little, too late, but I welcome his escape from that asylum.

I wonder how long it took his PR team to come up with this horseshit.

Nah, they promptly learn whatever bullshit Fox tells them, no questions asked. If Sean and Tucker start “asking questions” about whether Biden is a Reptiloid, two-thirds of Republicans surveyed a month later would respond that Biden is either definitely or probably a Reptiloid.

I wish I got paid $140 million± to be a “slow learner.”

So I guess it took actual fascist propaganda from Tucker to Make Chris feel uncomfortable. So Chris is either not very bright or not very honest. He is, like all of the other FOX faces, very rich for his efforts.

So of course CNN snatched him up.

To be clear, cock sucking on it’s own is not the problem and one should not be chastised merely for enjoying the practice. The problem is that it is hard to maintain proper professional independence whilst doing so.

So did CNN hire him as a trophy of a FoxNews kill or do they like “slow learners” as on-air personalities?

Somebody’s got to replace Rick Santorum, Corey Lewandowski, Jeffrey Lord, and Jason Miller.
