Chris Wallace’s Classless Act

Chris Wallace, the former “FOX News Sunday” host, spent 18 years with a network that showed him, by his own estimation, the utmost respect. Wallace is now unwilling to do the same in return. Is this really how he wants to be remembered?

“Fox News has employed me for 18 years,” Wallace recently told the Financial Times, before he bolted for CNN+. “They’ve never interfered with a question, with a guest I’ve brought on or a question I’ve asked. They have changed my life. They’ve changed my career. So to paraphrase William Casey, why on earth would I share any concerns I have about FOX News with the readers of the Financial Times?”

Wallace should not forget that the network helped him cement a career that would not merely be relegated to the shadows of his father, the late “60 Minutes” host Mike Wallace. But he no longer seems particularly grateful.

Wallace has started the twilight of his career with CNN+. The new streaming offering is a bit of a head-scratcher. It’s inexplicably meant to supplement a cable news network that has underperformed for years. If no one watches the parent product, it seems hard to imagine its streaming offshoot will garner many eyes.

So how do you bring attention to a product few people want? Drama. For Wallace, that came in the form of an exclusive interview with The New York Times where he trashed the network that built him.

That’s guy was POS his entire Fox run, but was loved by the McCain bootlickers, RINO’s, and Neocons.

FOX is self destructing. They kept Mike Wallace on the payroll for far too long IMO. Now they have another commie bootlegger who they are grooming for the job. Piers Morgan! Ain’t that some shit?!!! So much for fair and balanced!

  What about Sean Hannity the ultimate NeoCon outside of Megan Kelly and Bill O’Reilly in the past? There isn’t such a thing as “fair and balanced”, this is clown world and its been clown world for a long time.
