Chris Wallace: Media Bias 'Astonishing'

[Alas Babylon!]

"Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace said Friday that since leaving the mainstream networks behind to join Fox he's noticed an "astonishing" amount of biased reporting on the part of his former colleagues.

"I came from the mainstream media and I didn't used to feel this way," Wallace told WRKO Boston radio host Howie Carr.

In radio interviews he does to promote his Sunday broadcast, Wallace said, the questions he gets are almost always slanted against the Bush administration.

Why can't we all just accept his conversion? First, Fox News does have liberals on it, like Colmes of Hannity and Colmes. Wallace, if he continued to spew liberal bias, would be one of the handful on Fox who do so. There are many converted liberals out there, why not Wallace?

Hi Mark!! Did you ever ask her who she reads, listens to or which sites she visits online?? I refuse to tap into the MSM because I know how thwarted they are. ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN are totally liberal. Fox is both. On line you need to guide her in the right direction, via this site, Lucianne,many good blogs and especially talk radio which will educate her in a New York minute. Ask her to listen to Rush for one month, without comment, and then have a talk with her objectively.

A seven year old girl friend?!

What are you, some kind of pedo-perv?

[TankerKC]

NewsMax writing about media bias...now that's funny.

[johnny7]

Your last sentence was the impression I got... Wallace didn't sound like he was pandering to Howies 'regulars'.

[TankerKC]

My seven year-old girlfriend, Monica, called then sent me an email linking me to your post. Seven years old! And already a FReeper. Because of folks like y'all.

That is wrong is so many ways.

Once in a while you can actually see this on one of Rush's shows when a democrat/liberal would call in and is disillusioned, and Rush opens their eyes, and walks them through, and they have a change of heart.
Rush had a gentleman call in on the show just last week admitting that he just started to listen to his show for a few weeks, and always heard bad things from his friends and liberals about Rush, but never really listened to Rush on his own, and admitted that after a few weeks of listening to Rush, that he had many values and beliefs that you, I and Rush have.
A few months ago, Rush had this woman call in on his show that was going through the same thing, and you could hear her start to cry realizing that she was duped, and lied to all these years by the liberals, and realizing how she was wrong in her beliefs all these years, and was making the decision right there on the radio to come to our side and join us.

At least they won't have to fight over the turkey if things get out of hand the way things are going with that Bird Flu.

You are at the right place to get educated...and those who have written to you here do it so well. The President was elected twice and as has been said here, is doing what he was elected to do. If you think otherwise, you will have another shot at it after this term is over.

Sometimes when you are in the problem ( and, if you are a part of the problem ) you can't see it.

She's a lovely southern lady, and rather than argue with her, we don't talk politics any more.... but, once she sees the truth, and " SEES THE LIGHT " and comes to our side, I am sure you and her will enjoy talking politics.

[cousair]

If "my side" who has posted here, seems to dislike the President would, without comment, listen to Rush for ONE MONTH, he would change his tune. I have always said, when I hear Rush putting out lies, I will turn him off. I have been a listener since he started. I think his teaching education of Conservative America is amazing, and it has nothing to do with the far far right. It has to do with the Founding Fathers and the Constitution, Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence.

That's a good tag line. I think that is true. Liberalism embodies that.

I still remember onetime about a year ago, my mom and the 2 nd oldest brother were talking about President Bush and the Iraq war in a not so positive light, but, my other brother ( yes, I take the credit, of gliding him in the RIGHT direction ) just said to both of them " what about the Vietnam war ? it was a democrat president at the time " and my mom and my other brother could not, or didn't say a word......lol.

Reminds me of that movie SPIDERMAN , were that scientist was a good man, but, that machine( BBC,PBS,ABC,NBC,CBS) took control over him, and controlled his mind.

I think if my Mother-in-Law ever thought of calling me a liar I would have had to correct her right then and there and tell her to "put a sock in it!!" I had the best Mother-in-Law anyone could ever have, and I must say that she would have never said such a thing even if she thought it was true. Tell the old bat to go straight to hell and do not pass go on the way!! Tell your mate that you intend to do it before you do, so they won't be really upset with you when it hits the fan!!

This is pretty amazing.

He is from old Media aristocracy.

I think his daddy even drank coffee and smoked Luckies with Murrow and Paley.

No, Chris Wallace is now simply projecting his employers line, and if and when he goes to another employer he will echo their mantra.

That is not true Chris could have stayed with ABC and been the prime candidate to succeed Peter Jennings. He chose not to take that career path.

He said that when he was at ABCm he kept the Fox News channel on in his office. He said he watched fox to see what the competition was up to. It was his opinion then that the Fox News channel did the best job of covering news. That, he said, was why he left ABC to work for Roger Ailes.

The point I take was that when he was with ABC he watched Fox to keep up with what his main competition was doing.

Now that he is with Fox he watches CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC to see what his main competition is doing.

It gave him a different perspective on what the Main Stream Media is up to.

" Of course in the Star Ledger it mentioned only Becchtel and The Shaw group. I told her the Shaw group was run by the chairman of the NO DNC. She called me a liar. " ......
You might have to show her the very article that you mentioned to her, but, then again ?
She will call that paper " A LIAR " or " REPUBLICAN PROPAGANDA " , but, at least, when you have a political argument with a liberal/democrat, you need to back it up with data,facts,ext, but, even faced with facts, the liberals/democrats go off on you and spit out their talking points and shrill.
Just like Oil & Water don't mix, truth & liberals/Democrats don't mix.
