It's Time For Fox News' Chris Wallace To Go!

 After just watching his Sunday morning news program , I have come to the conclusion that it's time for Chris Wallace to leave Fox News. It's quite apparent that his own personal opinion dictates on how he's going to ask questions to his guests. Unlike his father Mike Wallace, who has a long and distin-guished career in journalism and is re-spected by his peers, Chris seems to have forgotten how to conduct a professional and thorough interview to get the answers the viewers are looking for. No one is tuning into Fox News Sunday Morning to hear the opinions of Chris Wallace, who cares what he has to say? We as viewers, would like to hear what your guests or "roundtable panel" has to say on the subject matter being discussed, not the opinions of a so-called professional news anchor. Chris Wallace is constantly interrupting people to correct them, but not to interject fact but to interject his own personal opinion, which seems to be based only on Republican values/talking points. He also cuts the guests on his show off in mid-conversation to ask another guest on the show, another question. This drives me NUTS! No isssue is really discussed down to it's core, the debate always seems to go flat due to the lack of continuity.
 There's really no reason for Fox News to keep him or at least re-new his contract. Fox News is a ratings POWERHOUSE, but there's one category that Fox News loses on a weekly bases... the Sunday morning news programs. Fox contin-uously finishes in fourth place out of four behind NBC, CBS and ABC (in that order). What does Fox News have to lose by replacing him? Bring in a new face to host the show, who actually knows how to conduct a REAL interview, lets their guests finish their statements and maybe the ratings for the show would start to climb?
 Chris Wallace likes to act like he's God's gift to the cable news industry. I'm sure Chris thinks that he's the most professional, hard-hitting interviewer at Fox News and that he provides the network some credibility to counter-act any accusation of bias. In actuallity, Chris Wallace is nothing more than a partisan HACK with no professional credibility.

So Chrissy Tingle's, Keithina Olbergoober or Rickie Madcow are more your type of interviewer's? I bet you voted for that good for nothing clown Barry Golfing Hussein too, huh? Once a libernut always a loser.

I can't help but notice how your commentary was just chock full of specific examples of CW's alleged partisan hackery and absense of professional credibility. < /sarcasm >

You know, all right wing interviewers interrupt and correct their guests. This right wing radio talk show host tactics only he does it on television. They have an agenda and it is not to hear everyone's views on a given subject. It is to brainwash the viewers. To make it appear that anyone who doesn't agree with them is 1. stupid 2. not a good American.
This is a propaganda technique ala Joseph Goebbels who was Hitler's Minister of Propaganda. They have no interest in democracy and shared views. Only their own agenda which idoes not fit with a free America and the democratic process.nor with the Constitution. They and those like them, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and the like lie, brow beat their callers. Do monologues rather than let any caller who disagrees with them, share their views. They are wicked, evil men who call good evil and evil good.

Chris Wallace's handling of the RNC and DNC chairman segment this morning was completely and totally unconscionable.
Chris decided to attack the RNC chairman about his leadership skills and then when the topic of Harry Reid was covered, to Chris's way of thinking a quick scan and over was accepted by Chris from the DNC chairman.
This mornings show was not fair and balance and it showed a clear bias to the Democratic side. Always have been fair because we like Chris, but what an absolutely arrogant interview this morning by Chris. Just cannot tell you how disappointed we are. We agree with the RNC chairman that Harry Reid should go, as usual always a double standard with the DNC. We turned Chris OFF!

If a station says it is "fair and balance" then we need people like Chris to be there. I love Fox News, but not many of their shows are fair and balance. You have to have a brain and a mind to think in order to continue to look at any of the so call news stations. I hope that Fox, Cnn and the rest of these are not your only place to give you your information on matter of importance. Search and find out all you can about a subject.
