Wallace Quits Fox
Timothy Birdnow
Fake news is taking a big hit today.
First, Brian Williams, the teller of tall tales who got caught lying and did not lose his job, is finally leaving NBC.
Brian Williams Signs Off From NBC After 28 Years
But the even bigger news is that Trump-hating Fox liberal Chris Wallace is ducking out from the Rupert Murdoch media empire.
Chris Wallace Announces Departure from Fox News
Neither gentlemen will be missed.
The Peewee Herman of cable news ruined his career at Fox when he chose to insert himself in the Presidential debate he was moderating, taking the side of Joe Biden in what was a disgraceful display of media bias. But that wasn't the first time Wallace showed his liberality and it wasn't the last.
Wallace was only there because his father was Mike Wallace, com-symp from Sixty Minutes.
Wallace took over Fox News Sunday 18 years ago from Tony Snow, who had to resign due to cancer. Snow was fairly conservative. Wallace was not.
There is rumor circulating that Wallace is ducking out because of the Ghiselle Maxwell trial, that he may be implicated in the "Lolita Express". I rather doubt that, but one never knows. It seems far more likely that Brian Williams would be the guy flying to Slave Island.
At any rate, I wish Mr. Wallace an unfond adieu and suggest he make sure the door doesn't hit his posterior on the way out.

Apparently Wallace has accepted a big job at CNN+, an offshoot of CNN. I'm sure he'll sleep much better at night from now on.

Now if only Fox News could "divest" themselves of Juan Williams and Geraldo Rivera...

Now why would he make that move? There is more to this than meets the eye, methinks Dana.
Yeah; get rid of Williams and Rivera. They stink after their morning baths.

Well, an article I read suggested that Wallace, with all his experience, could add some gravitas and professionalism to CNN, and that it was a good move for both.
I'll grant you that Wallace has had a lot of experience, but as far as journalism, I wouldn't hire him for a paper route. (Remember those?)

It might be a good move for CNN because it makes it appear they are unbiased, but of course the people watching CNN (all 12 of them outside of the airports where you have no choice) don't want unbiased. And Wallace is not unbiased.
I'm sure he's going to sound quite liberal once he's free of the Fox shackles.
I suspect we'll be hearing less and less from Mr. Wallace as time goes by.
