Hint: It’s not what you think. In his exit interview with Chris Wallace, soon to be former Defense Secretary Bob Gates told Wallace what he worries about the most. And, no it’s not Islamic terrorism. It’s us! Gates bemoaned the loss of bipartisanship in DC as our biggest problem. When asked by Wallace what he worries about as he looks to the future, the Secretary didn’t mention the two new wars that Obama has dragged America into. He didn’t mention the rise of home grown jihadism. Or the war in Afghanistan. Nope, it’s not Pakistani nukes either. Nor is it...

After interviewing Sarah Palin, Chris Wallace talked about her with his panel of guests and revealed that he was very impressed with her appearance. Unlike previous times when he interviewed her, Wallace noticed “this wasn’t just ‘you betcha’ – she was pretty sharp on the issues.” Wallace was eager to see if anyone else agreed with his review of Palin’s interview: “I thought she was a boffo performance today. It was the first time that I ever saw her and thought ‘this woman is a serious – if she decides to run – candidate for President. And a serious possibility...

The following is a rush transcript of the June 5, 2011 edition of "Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace." CHRIS WALLACE, ANCHOR: I'm Chris Wallace. The economy struggles and nation's recovery is in jeopardy. And, Governor, welcome back to "Fox News Sunday." FORMER GOV. SARAH PALIN, R-ALASKA: Thank you so much, Chris. WALLACE: Let's start with the economy and bad news on Friday -- just 54,000 jobs were added in May, the lowest number in eight months. Unemployment rose to 9.1 percent. When you add that to poor numbers on growth, on housing, on manufacturing, where are we in...

I think Chris Wallace of Fox News Sunday is one of the better interviewers among the various news channel hosts.  He is prepared, and pushes pretty hard with everybody, though not in an obnoxious fashion.  He chooses to remain the interviewer, and not become the story.  Unfortunately, Wallace injected himself into an interview Sunday, with the use of language that can be best described as inflammatory and historically inaccurate.  In an interview with newly announced GOP Presidential candidate Herman Cain, Wallace asked a few questions about Cain's support of Israel. He then asked him about the Palestinian right of...

Hillary Clinton was on the FOX Chris Wallace Show on Sunday, November 21, 2010. Chris asked Clinton about ratification for the New Start treaty that is in front of the Senate and he asked her about running for President in 2012 or 2016. Her answers to both of those questions were interesting.

On Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume condemned NPR for its “howling double standard” in firing Juan Williams for expressing an opinion, a standard “manifestly not being applied to other NPR people.” He forwarded the theory that “in the culture of NPR, appearing on Fox is a sin” and “for an African-American man” to “be kind of a Bill Cosby liberal, not a down-the-line liberal, is a sin as well.” Hume’s assessment came after host Chris Wallace read from a column in which Cokie Roberts denounced Glenn Beck as “worse than a clown. He’s more like a terrorist,”

There seems to be a schism between two of the media giants that lefties hold in high regard – the entire MSNBC network and Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” host Jon Stewart. After Stewart took a few jabs at MSNBC during his Oct. 30 Washington, D.C. rally, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann took umbrage at the equivalency Stewart drew between his network and the Fox News Channel. In Olbermann’s view, Fox News Channel is a source of evil in the world, while MSNBC is a source of good. However, Stewart, who admittedly sees things from a liberal worldview, questioned MSNBC’s role...

On FNS, Howard Dean accuses Fox News of being “absolutely racist” by reporting on the Shirley Sherrod story. He also called the Black Panther voter intimidation story “phony.” Chris Wallace responded to Dean, saying, “I know facts are inconvenient,” before informing him that Sherrod was fired before her name was ever mentioned on Fox News, something which Dean seemed unaware of.

Former Hewlett-Packard executive Carly Fiorina, who won the California GOP Senate primary Tuesday, said Sunday she regretted her off-the-cuff remarks about the hairstyle worn by her opponent, Sen. Barbara Boxer. "I regret this whole situation. I gave people the opportunity to talk about something petty and superficial," she told Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday." "This is a very serious election year about serious issues." The Republican candidate didn't apologize for the remark, captured off the air during a television interview and posted on YouTube, in which she disparaged her opponents hairstyle as outdated. Mrs. Fiorina said the contest with...

This might upset some of the Fox News-ophobes within DC media circles, the so-called purists that tend to look down on the highly rated cable news outlet. As Fox News is purportedly competing with Bloomberg for that front-row seat once occupied by the former dean of the White House press corps and Hearst Newspaper columnist Helen Thomas, Chris Wallace, the host of "Fox News Sunday," suggested there would be some sort of righteousness in his network taking that seat. "They absolutely should get it," Wallace said on the June 10 broadcast of the Fox Business Network's "Imus in the Morning."...

Yesterday we posted an interview Chris Wallace did with Megyn Kelley which he talked about his interview with Governor Palin last Sunday. Wallace appeared on the Brian and The Judge radio show this morning and talked about the interview. Wallace also added some interesting thoughts about Governor Palin off camera prior to the interview. Click the image to listen:

Fox News's Chris Wallace Thursday blasted Joe Scarborough for suggesting that he rolled his eyes at the camera after Sunday's interview with Sarah Palin, and said he was "offended" people even watched the former Congressman on MSNBC. The "Fox News Sunday" host was referring to what transpired on Monday's "Morning Joe." "Look at the end of Chris Wallace's interview where he rolls his eyes, uh, embarrassed. There's no doubt he is," said Scarborough. "Now he will deny that, but Chris was sending a message to all his friends, 'yes I know she is not a serious thinker.'" As Scarborough predicted,...

You can't even move your eyes when Palin on nearby.

Former V.P. hopeful and FNC contributor Sarah Palin told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace that if she didn't run for president she'd do the best "darn good job" as a reporter. Well it turns out that Palin, with all her dang, darn, heck, hell no, bull-stuff and you betcha's earned Wallace his best show ratings ever this past Sunday in his six years hosting the show. She explained the e-mail "issue" involving her husband, Todd, whom she referred to as "Alaska's first dude," she re-issued her call for White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel to resign for using...

Joe Scarborough was surely right about one thing: he's going to take some flak . . . On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough said that Sarah Palin has been "lowering the bar" with her public pronouncements, asserting that she hasn't done the necessary homework to permit her to speak seriously on the issues. Joe also claimed that while "top conservatives" are afraid to take Palin on publicly, they express views similar to his "behind the scenes." View video here.

I posted the 30 minute video of Sarah Palin with Chris Wallace On Fox News Sunday.

Jeri Thompson blasted Fox News host Chris Wallace on the Fred Thompson show today, calling his joke that he hoped Sarah Palin would sit on his lap during an interview with him "inappropriate" and "insipid," and demanding "action from Fox. Thompson, the wife of the former senator and presidential candidate, told POLITICO's Jonathan Martin that the remark, to Fox Business's Don Imus, amounted to misogyny, and that she was tired of seeing it from "these dirty old men" on Fox, a network that she said ought to be respectful of conservative women. "Sarah Palin is now part of the Fox...

Fox News correspondent Chris Wallace was the first to interview former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin this morning following her speech last night at the National Tea Party Weekend held in Nashville, TN. Will she run for President in 2012? Sarah Palin took the stage last night boldy declaring that "America is ready for another revolution." The most famous Christian hockey-mom in the world spoke to the Tea Party crowd about conservative values, President Obama, and how out of touch the Democratic party is. Chris Wallace mentioned this morning on Fox News, that during his interview with Sarah Palin, she believes...

Since Republican Scott Brown won the special election Jan 19 to fill Massachusetts' U.S. Senate seat vacated after the death of Ted Kennedy, President Barack Obama and high-level White House staffers David Axelrod and Robert Gibbs have been on the media circuit in damage control mode. But according to "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace, efforts to spin this in a positive way are futile. Wallace appeared on the Fox Business Network's Jan. 21 "Imus in the Morning" program to explain their efforts to alter the news coverage to a favorable tone in the wake of this news is not...

Fox shock! As was noted on WorldMagBlog yesterday, Brit Hume crossed the line of decency on Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace (and on Sunday, of all days!) by recommending “the Christian faith” to Tiger Woods as the remedy for his personal problems. In case you missed it, here’s the clip (viewer discretion advised): < snip > Was Hume abusing his position as a newsman on a panel of news analysts? Or was he just offering . . . analysis? Kyle Koster at The Chicago Sun-Times, for example, points out the oddity of “a newsman offering advice to the beleaguered...
