Chris Wallace says he left Fox News after people started to "question the truth"

Chris Wallace says he left Fox News after people at the news organization began to question matters of truth, like the Jan. 6 insurrection and whether the 2020 election was stolen.

“I just no longer felt comfortable with the programming at Fox," Wallace told The New York Times in a recent interview.

Wallace, who announced his departure from Fox News in Dec. 2021, told the Times that life at his former network was "unsustainable."

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

Wallace played along because his ego coveted the anchor position and he was paid an obscene salary.

You are loved
Everyone you know is lying to you
Don’t talk to those people anymore
We know the truth
Only we and Dear Leader know the truth

That’s what cults do.

Be honest yourself, Mr. Wallace. You apparently got comfortable enough to do without the pay, or you were fired.

Does the supposed "war on Christmas" reported by Fox News ring any bells for you?

was waiting once he left FOX and the contractual time period for re-employment was over. It's like what we're all told, don't quit you job unless you have another one lined up.

that Fox wasn't always telling the truth. A new viewer with an IQ of 100 should be able to figure that out in about 14 minutes.

... therefore he must have been wearing blinders and noise-cancelling headphones while working at Faux Noise for a very long time.
