-- Chris Wallace, quoted by the New York Times, on why he left Fox News.

“I’m fine with opinion: conservative opinion, liberal opinion. But when people start to question the truth — Who won the 2020 election? Was Jan. 6 an insurrection? — I found that unsustainable.

1. Wallace spent years on a network that cranked out lies.

He knew they were lying. He has zero credibility in my mind. He made his bed.

4. +1, Wallace: "... taking candy from babies was OK but I draw the line at slapping them..."

2. Not buying.

Took him too long. Total bullshit.

3. Fox's sewage of lies reached a level of toxicity that he could no longer pretend to be reasonable.

5. FOX News had been "question(ing) the truth" long before the 2020 election and January 6.

And "question the truth" is just another euphemism for lying, Mr. Wallace. I imagine your father is rolling over in his grave right about now.

6. He took the Fox job because ABC,

the network he was with, wouldn't promote him to anchorman. Fox offered it, so he took it.

7. Classic too little, too late.

Apparently no problem whoring for Murdoch's blatant Propaganda/Lying network for all those years.

8. "Stop the Steal", January 6th, and an untethered Tucker Carlson ..

of course - you had to wade through the stench of 4 years of Donald Trump ...

- NYTimes, march, 27, 2022 -
- Mr. Wallace also acknowledged that he felt a shift at Fox News in the months after Donald J. Trump’s defeat in 2020

- Still, he acknowledged that some viewers may wonder why he did not leave earlier.

- “Some people might have drawn the line earlier, or at a different point,” he said, adding: “I think Fox has changed over the course of the last year and a half. But I can certainly understand where somebody would say, ‘Gee, you were a slow learner, Chris.’”

Yup. Still, a fair assessment probably has to acknowledge that Wallace was more willing to question the party line at Fox than a whole host of his colleagues.

9. We need allies. The Wallace types are more useful for persuading the spectrum of voter than . . .

[KS Toronado]

11. Wallace questioned the party line so much at FQX

I was always surprised Murduck never fired him.

[Traildogbob]

10. Just unsustainable

Or outright unacceptable? If it where able to be sustainable would he think it was fine? Seems to have been sustained in Russia and North Korea just fine.

12. Meaning more bullshit than he could handle?

[smirkymonkey]

13. He is just now figuring this out?

A little slow on the uptake. Or maybe just greedy.

[Bristlecone]

14. Everybody finds Jesus over there. Too little too late

As always. He is and will always be a shill pretending to be a man of integrity.
