Chris is no Mike Wallace! He certainly did not do well against Stephen.

For him to criticize Mueller when he can not go toe to toe with one person, I would hate to see him go against rabid Republicans as Mueller did.

I actually saw Mueller’s spine stiffen as they attacked him. The contempt in his face was a sight to see and Schiff brought the house down with his questions.

Adam Schiff would make a great President. He cut through the Trump lies like hot butter today!

And it hadn't been a friendly interview, surprised he was on again after that, but 60 Minutes was a CBS show. And I looked up Chris Wallace on Wikipedia and it said he's a registered Democrat! Who would have guessed??

Be registered as a Democrat, but he is a Fox shill. Every once in a while he sways a little when on with Shep Smith, but I remember Mike and his Son does not hold a candle to him. Mike was a real Investigative Reporter. He is sadly missed.

I did not know he was registered as a Democrat. Thanks for that.

And I certainly agree with you about Mike Wallace. He really was the best and 60 Minutes sure hasn't been the same without him - Morley Safer and Don Hewitt, too. And apparently Chris Wallace was mainly raised by his step father which could explain a lot. He's said the step father was his main influence, that Mike Wallace really came back into his life after his brother was killed in an accident. I did wonder why he was so little like his father.

No, a journalist's job is not to report on whether someone's action was good for their team. It's to report on truth and lies.
