I remember Chris Wallace on the Daily Show, trying to refute these claims. Even Stewart had to admit that he was a good, honest newsman… but Wallace also couldn’t refute the idea that he was one of a few actual reporters in a den of propagandists.
He deserves to work for a better network…
Exactly. Wallce has the ability to be good when he wants to. However, he doesn’t want to very often. What Chris Wallace really wants is to have his cake and eat it too. But you can’t work for a propaganda organization and then complain because it’s perceived as being biased. Of course it’s biased. Slanting and lying about and suppressing information is its raison d’etre.
If Chris Wallace wants to be taken seriously, he has to leave his nice cushy, comfy Fox bubble and go to work for a real news organization. He won’t though, he’s far too lazy.
Summed up very nicely. Thank you.
“I’m disappointed in Roger going to work for the Trump campaign,” Wallace told the Los Angeles Times…
I’m sorry, but wasn’t Ailes working for the Trump campaign when he was drawing a Fox paycheck?
“We have had to fight back for a lot of years against claims that we’re an arm of the Republican Party."
Chris, your dad is rolling over right now. Your network has people claiming that Trump was at a disadvantage in the third debate because of a lighting and makeup conspiracy against him.
First, I have to compliment Chris. He was the best of the debate moderators.
But he needs to turn some his journalism chops onto the organization he represents.
For example, no expert believes voter fraud is a serious problem in the United States. But the vast majority of Republicans do believe it to be a problem, just as the majority of them believe Obama is not a legitimate president because they believe he is not a citizen. And why do Republicans believe these lies? Fox News. They ran that 80 second clip of 2 black panthers in Philly so many times that all Trump has to do is say “you know what I mean,” and his fans all know.
Ailes built Fox News as a propaganda machine. And before you go into the “news and opinion are separate,” I suggest they are separate they way a Mafia owned bar is a legitimate business, when it is in fact a front for a major criminal organization. Ailes used the news to cover for his evil deed of convincing millions of Republicans to believe lies. That is the opposite of what News is supposed to do and if you helped him do it, you are equally guilty of the crime.
Get over yourself, Chris. Sexual harassment was so pervasive at Fox how could you not have known about it? One good thing that will happen if Trump starts his own network— it will peel off the Fox watchers who actually spend money on things like camo outfits, guns, ammo, mail order sealants and pick-up truck liners (no knock against the last two— just that I expect more Fox watchers buy them than CNN or MSNBC watchers), dividing the audience so no TV outlet on the right makes money. Trump & Co. will either hire O’Reilly and Hannity away, or get people more outrageous than them. Trump’s crowd likes nothing more than watching a good fire.
Wallace: FOX is actually a brothel. We just welcome only Republicans to use it.
I agree. I think there are a few good people at Fox News, but they don’t make up for the fact that no one watches them! They watch O’Reilly, Hannity, the Five, Outnumbered, etc. Hannity and O’Reilly have repeatedly stated that they don’t need to check facts because they aren’t journalists, they are pundits! But they take up the vast majority of the programming, and present their opinions as fact.
“I haven’t talked to him since he left, and I won’t talk to him,” [Wallace] said.
Horseshit. I’m convinced Wallace collaborated with Ailes on the third debate. Trump was far too prepared for the questions and his claim that HRC had the questions in advance is further proof given Trump’s propensity for psychological projection.
Wallace is stupid? in total denial? A liar? Any one or all off the above.
In contrast to Ailes who knows he is a total deplorable shill for Repiblican hatred, racism, power greed, and misogynist extraordinaire.
You mean the debate in which he asked a bunch of questions framed in Fox newspeak? In which for example he linked “entitlements” to the national debt yet said nothing about two expensive wars and the worlds most expensive military machine?
So that’s where Trump’s comment about Hillary leaving the Watergate hearings came from. Him and Ailes must have been yukking it up in debate prep.
Yep. As I said, Hillary was quite young at the time and has a minor role. When her work was done, she left the team. It’s a popular right-wing meme that she was fired, but her supervisor on the team praised her and said that was ridiculous; her part was completed and she moved on to other projects.
The anti-Clinton vast right-wing conspiracy started early. Ailes was a player from the start.
Or the Clinton White House next year
Faux is the arm, the neck, the lungs and the heart of the Republican Party.
Put it this way, if Faux failed, the Repubs wouldn’t be far behind.
You know, Chris, if you surround yourself with wolves, someone may mistake you for a pro-wolf guy. Just sayin’.
WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. Nasty Fiftygigs.
Complete mental and moral IM-balance can be interpreted as a sense of the word balance.
Wallace is just sad, and was probably the worse moderator of the entire sorry bunch. His questions all had the stamp of right wing groups like Cato, Heritage and of course the Peterson group. Of all the questions that were submitted to be asked, the debt was not on that list, that was totally Wallace and his elite group.
AMEN BROTHER! I feel the same way about the nay-sayers that said ‘hugs not drugs’. By God we’re a great nation, why not have both!
Now to the idiot at hand. Chris Wallace is a degenerate sack of garbage that got by on his name … another form of ‘affirmative action’ for celebrities. A political whore who thinks he’s a Sunday School teacher because he’'s only in the cesspool up to his ankles while others (Hannity, put some trunks on!) swim in the deepest filth joyously. He can drop dead.
I stand incorrected : - )
