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

[iemanja]

Chris Wallace says he left Fox News after people at the news organization began to question matters of truth, like the Jan. 6 riot 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 an interview published Sunday.

Wallace, who announced his departure from Fox News in December, 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.”

What I can't figure out is why it took him so long. There is actually a line to that effect in the article. Wallace says people are wondering "Gee, you're a slow learner." He believes Fox has changed substantially in the last 1.5 years.

1. I guess racism, misogyny and homophobia weren't enough.

He's just another right wing idiot.

2. "But I can certainly understand where somebody would say, 'Gee, you were a slow learner, Chris.'"

Well, I’m glad he can see that. I have to think that a blind person could see that.

4. I suppose this Wallace interview is his

"tell-all book", an attempt to wash off the FOX stink...not buying his mea culpa...18 years of right wing propaganda was ok..Tucker and his venomous bullshit was not?...uh huh

3. 18 years to figure that out?

If I take his statement at face value, I have even less respect for him than before. If he had said he never felt entirely comfortable but wanted to do his best to present the real world, that would have been better. And why wait so long to say this?
