Biden Turns Down Interview with Chris Wallace
July 28, 2020 at 10:43 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

Joe Biden has turned down an interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday, WLS reports.

[LakeArenal]

1. His decision. Chris Wallace is Fuck Youz.

[pwb]

2. Maybe later?

I agree with him.

[Blue Owl]

8. Or never...

n/t

[Laelth]

13. I vote never.

Biden doesn’t have to do anything at this point.

-Laelth

[TheBlackAdder]

25. I agree. Wallace is under heat to flame Biden--no benefit on catering to the Russian First Network.

[agingdem]

26. Pretty sure Trump's enablers came down hard on Wallace after

the Stable Genius Shit Show...so now Wallace is "obligated" to do onto Joe what he did onto the orange maggot...and Joe said no...I'm thinking Joe subscribes to the "you don't murder someone (Trump) while they're committing suicide" school of political thought

[House of Roberts]

3. No political upside.

Would anyone really think he could gain voters from the Fox audience?

[Thekaspervote]

4. Good! No fux news interviews. They will just later twist and distort what he said

[malaise]

9. THIS

Not after years of GOP propaganda

[brush]

22. And you just know that Tara Reid person will just happen to come up.

Biden is running a great campaign so far. I agree with his decision. When trump does an equivalent interview, like say on Rachel Maddow, maybe then.

[Wounded Bear]

5. Would be curious to hear the reason...

otherwise...

[ananda]

15. It's Fox. That's it's own reason.

Don't give them airtime, ratings, or anything else.

[Happy Hoosier]

6. Smart, I think. Faux News will "both sides" it

Faux news will want to seem "even handed," so no doubt lots of questions about Hunter Biden, "Obamagate" and even Tara Reid. Nothing to be gained, IMO.

[uponit7771]

10. +1

[Ninga]

7. Smart. Wallace May be a cut above FoxSnooz personalities, he is still associated with a lying,

Trumpian supporting, Fauci denagrating, network.

Biden doesn’t need them.

[RT Atlanta]

11. i believe it's a good decision

fox is not a legitimate news org, though they do have several credible reporters like Chris Wallace.

this does nothing for Joe with the mouth-breathing audience that watches them - they're voting for kkk-don no matter what.

[Hoyt]

12. I'd rather he appear than not, but I can't say it's a mistake to refuse. I think he'd do well.

I definitely wouldn't want him to appear with Hannity, Carlson, etc., and doubt even the most ardent trumpster would.

[Kingofalldems]

14. He should agree to an interview with Wallace--

when Trump agrees to an interview with Rachel Maddow.

[democrattotheend]

16. IDK if that's a great comparison

Chris Wallace, from what I understand, is one of the fairer journalists on Fox. Isn't he known for asking tough questions of everyone?

Trump going on Rachel would be more like Biden going on Hannity.

[Kingofalldems]

19. There is no comparison between Rachel and Hannity.

One lies, one is truthful.

[ScratchCat]

17. I'd like to know the specific reason

Like maybe he will do it later.

For starters, If I were Joe, I'd tell them that "Hunter Biden", "Obamagate" and "Tara Reid" are fake stories that will not be addressed. If they want to talk about real stuff, fine. Otherwise, nevermind.

[soothsayer]

18. He can do it when drumpf releases his taxes and grades

[CentralMass]

20. Who knows..

[crickets]

21. There's no reason to legitimize Fox, Wallace or no Wallace.

It is NOT a news organization.

[dreamland]

23. He's only going to speak to journalists. Chris Wallace is an actor.

[NCjack]

24. Only if Biden gets the same deal Trump gets. Chris has too submit the Qs in advance,

and Biden gets to reject the ones that he doesn't want to be asked.

[HotTeaBag]

27. He absolutely should.

It would be a great way to reach Trump's 'soft' Republican support.

The people that would tune in to see an interview with Wallace aren't the same that slavishly watch Ingrahm, Hannity and Carlson - it would be a great opportunity to counter so many of the current talking points about him (that he's controlled by the Left-wing radicals, wants to defund the police, etc.).

By turning down the interview they'll have a new talking point - that he's scared - Bernie did it, as did Buttigieg.

Wallace would probably conduct the fairest interview that he could expect from any Right-leaning media outlet.

[RussBLib]

28. I'm sure Biden will allow it, eventually

Timing is everything.
