Chris Wallace told Don Imus Thursday he intended to fully respond to the fallout from last week's interview with Jon Stewart.
True to his word, at the conclusion of the most recent "Fox News Sunday," Wallace struck back at Stewart's claim that Fox watchers are the most misinformed media viewers by demonstrating that folks who watch "Hannity" and "The O'Reilly Factor" were actually better informed than "Daily Show" viewers (video follows with transcript and commentary)
CHRIS WALLACE, HOST: Now, the surprising fallout from our interview last Sunday with Jon Stewart. I figured it would get some reaction, but not that it would light up the internet. One of Jon’s arguments was that the bias of the mainstream media is not to push a liberal agenda.
“Are there any serious news broadcasters anymore?”
No. A couple of really good ones from the past, Brit Hume and Bernard Goldberg, are now Fox News contributors :-)
Honorable men both, and well qualified to be critics of the media bias and lack of journalism today.
Chris Wallace announced, “Fox viewers are not least informed but they are flakes.”

BOOKMARK
Good point. I had that incident in mind when I put the scare quotes around “serious”.
