C-SPAN’s longtime host Steve Scully, scheduled to moderate next week’s presidential town-hall debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden that may or may not happen, received a robust vote of confidence Friday from Chris Wallace and a host of prominent Republicans the morning after a post from his Twitter account prompted a political media uproar. Fox News Sunday host Wallace, who moderated last week’s presidential debate, […]

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said on Friday that he sees no issue with the Commission on Presidential Debates making the second debate virtual amid President Donald Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis, saying the president’s own behavior brings up “serious questions. Early on Thursday morning, the CPD announced that due to concerns over the president’s ongoing battle with COVID-19, they would have the candidates debate from remote locations […]
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace confronted Trump campaign adviser Steve Cortes on Sunday over the Trump camp’s refusal to wear masks during recent events including the presidential debate, prompting Cortes to loudly complain that Wallace was “starting to harangue” him. During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Cortes first likened President Donald Trump’s hospitalization for COVID-19 to a trip on baseball’s injured list, insisting that the […]
In his first on-air appearance since Tuesday night’s chaotic presidential debate that he moderated, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace on Thursday placed the blame on President Donald Trump for the debate devolving into what a CNN reporter described as a “shitshow.” Wallace, one of the most respected and revered newsmen in the business, has weathered a storm of criticism over his inability to maintain control on […]
Fox News host Tucker Carlson didn’t say a critical word about his colleague Chris Wallace on Wednesday night, even as the Fox News anchor has taken a ton of heated criticism from right-wing pundits (and even some Fox News commentators) over their belief that Wallace treated President Donald Trump unfairly at Tuesday’s presidential debate. Instead, the primetime conservative star sat back and let two of his […]
CNN anchor Jake Tapper booted Trump’s campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh on Wednesday after the Trump flack continued to deflect when pressed on the president’s refusal to condemn white supremacists, invoking the much-maligned moderator of Tuesday’s debate in the process. Following an off-the-rails presidential debate that was described by reporters as a “shitshow,” President Donald Trump has faced intense backlash for telling the far-right group Proud […]
Regardless of one’s impression of the two contenders during the first in-person showdown between the candidates to occupy the Oval Office, both conservative and liberal commentators agreed on one thing – the debate moderator’s job left much to be desired. Fox News host Chris Wallace landed in viewers’ crosshairs as he attempted to referee the first of three presidential debates between the two major parties’ presidential […]
Team Trump had their hands full on Wednesday morning as they were tasked with the unenviable job of cleaning up the president’s outright refusal to disavow white supremacists and far-right extremism. The results were, shall we say… lacking. As Trump campaign spokesman Hogan Gidley was on CNN ridiculously claiming that the president condemned white supremacy three times during Tuesday night’s debate, White House trade adviser Peter […]
Poor Chris Wallace, the debate moderator who couldn’t. As the first—and possibly last—televised presidential shoutfest of the 2020 general election campaign devolved Tuesday night from the worst Thanksgiving dinner ever to a drunken, knife-wielding bar fight between Donald Trump and Joe Biden amid shattered beer mugs, the Fox News Sunday anchor was powerless to stop the American carnage. “Chris Wallace did not act as moderator. Donald […]
Chris Wallace’s moderation of the first presidential debate left a lot to be desired, with critics renewing calls for podcaster/comedian Joe Rogan to handle an upcoming event between President Donald Trump and his rival Joe Biden. Minutes after Tuesday night’s debate ended, Rogan’s name was trending on Twitter with supporters saying he could have handled the night’s proceedings far better than Wallace, who struggled on multiple […]
Shepard Smith’s new CNBC show is called simply The News. And with that in mind, the former Fox News anchor is trying his best to play everything right down the middle. Ahead of his premiere this Wednesday, Smith appeared on his new network colleague Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show, where he offered up a series of non-committal, both-sides takes on the biggest news events of the week. […]
The closing night of President Donald Trump’s Republican National Convention, presented unethically and unsafely to the country in front of a huge crowd at the White House last Thursday, was meant to project a show of force against the Democrats’ virtual convention the week before. And yet the TV ratings for the RNC were down compared to the DNC across the board and now the Trump […]
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace and senior political analyst Brit Hume ripped President Donald Trump’s 70-minute Republican National Convention speech on Thursday night, describing it as “surprisingly flat” and lacking in “excitement.” Following the precedent-busting address from the White House in which the president accepted his party’s nomination, the “All-Star Panel” at the president’s favorite cable news channel largely gave his lengthy and rambling speech a […]
Trump supporters seem to have finally decided to engage in ‘cancel culture’ on Twitter after Chris Wallace, a host on the traditionally pro-Republican Fox News network, praised the speech by the Democratic nominee Joe Biden. “I thought [Biden’s speech] was enormously effective,” Wallace said on Thursday night, after Biden’s address wrapped up the last day of the Democratic convention in Milwaukee. In Wallace’s opinion, Biden effectively […]
Weeks after pressing President Donald Trump on whether he’d accept the results of the November election, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said on Tuesday that he finds it “troubling” that the president is claiming the only way he’ll lose is if the election is “rigged.” During his wide-ranging and contentious interview with Wallace last month, the president repeatedly declined to say he’d accept the election results […]
Birtherism is back, this time aimed squarely at Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris. And the people charged with speaking for President Donald Trump on cable news are having a lot of trouble defending his inability to outright condemn the racist attacks on his rival. It was the very first question that Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace had for senior Trump campaign adviser Steve Cortes. […]
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace interrupted his guest’s attacks on Joe Biden to bring up some important points about the Trump campaign this weekend. “Despite what you say about the Biden campaign, the fact is it is the Trump campaign that just replaced your campaign manager,” Wallace told Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller. “It’s the Trump campaign that just paused all television advertising for six […]
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace on Sunday invited 2020 presumptive Democrat nominee Joe Biden to sit down for an interview. Biden’s camp said the former VP was not available. Chris Wallace said he will keep asking Biden every week to sit down for an interview. President Trump last week sat in the hot seat and sparred with Chris Wallace who peppered him with gotcha questions. TRENDING: […]
“We talked about everything,” Chris Wallace told Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer on Friday afternoon, previewing his first sit-down with President Donald Trump in nearly two years. The full interview will air on Fox News Sunday this weekend, but two short clips released in advance demonstrate how contentious it promises to be. Seated what appeared to be less than six feet apart, Wallace asked Trump if […]
Noose hoaxer Bubba Wallace this week was booed as he was introduced at the NASCAR all-star qualifier and cheered after he crashed. The media exploded last month after NASCAR released a statement revealing that a ‘noose’ was reportedly found in top driver Bubba Wallace’s Talladega garage stall. The FBI unleashed 15 agents on the case and ultimately determined that the ‘noose’ was actually a garage door […]
LONDON – Britain’s Ministry of Defence has signed a deal with General Atomics for the first three Protector remotely piloted air vehicles destined to equip the Royal Air Force with a replacement for its Reaper drone force. A £65 million ($80 million) contract for three Protectors, the British version of the MQ-9B SkyGuardian was announced by Defence Secretary Ben Wallace during a virtual air power conference held by the RAF July 15. Protector will fly further, hit harder and, […]
Earlier this week, President Donald Trump demanded an apology from Bubba Wallace for supposedly perpetrating what he falsely labeled a hate-crime “hoax” after what looked a lot like a noose was found in the Black NASCAR driver’s garage stall. Wallace responded on social media with a message of positivity and love, but he had a bit more to say when he appeared as a guest on […]
In late June NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace made national headlines after he claimed nefarious characters hung a noose in his garage at Talladega. Bubba is one of two black NASCAR drivers. At the time NASCAR released a statement revealing that a noose was reportedly found in top driver Bubba Wallace’s Talladega garage stall. But after several days of investigating the FBI released a statement on its […]
Hoaxer Bubba Wallace pulled a Smollett on Tuesday night after the FBI completely busted his a$$ earlier in the day. Earlier Tuesday the FBI released a statement on its investigation at the Talladega Superspeedway “noose” and determined that Bubba Wallace was not the target of a hate crime. It was a knot in a door rope that had been hanging there for several months! Before Bubba […]
NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace appeared Tuesday night on CNN to respond to the FBI’s conclusion that he was not the target of a racist hate crime, saying he was “pissed” that people are doubting his character and integrity. Days after NASCAR announced that a noose was found hanging in the garage of Wallace, the league’s only Black racer who has recently been outspoken on racial justice […]
OMG, this is sooooo funny!Hoaxer Bubba Wallace pulled a Smollett on Tuesday night after the FBI completely busted his a$$. Earlier Tuesday the FBI released a statement on its investigation at the Talladega Superspeedway and determined that Bubba Wallace was not the target of a hate crime. NASCAR on Sunday released a statement revealing that a noose was reportedly found in top driver Bubba Wallace’s Talladega […]
The alleged discovery of a noose hanging in the garage of NASCAR’s only black driver has added fuel to allegations of widespread racism in the US, but many have cautioned against drawing conclusions before the facts are in. NASCAR said in a statement that it was “made aware” of a noose that had been found in the garage stall of Bubba Wallace, the lone black driver […]
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace was apparently not in the mood for Team Trump’s spin on Sunday morning, repeatedly pushing back at Trump campaign adviser Mercedes Schlapp’s excuses for President Donald Trump’s poor campaign rally attendance. For days ahead of Saturday night’s lightly attended rally in Tulsa, the Trump campaign set sky high expectations for the turnout, boasting about the roughly one million tickets that had […]
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace was on The Late Show Tuesday night to promote his new book on the atomic bomb. But Stephen Colbert really wanted to talk to him about this explosive moment in American politics. “Have you ever seen anything like the moment we’re going through right now?” Colbert asked at the top of the interview. “The only year that comes to mind […]
Bubba Wallace, one of the most successful African-American drivers in NASCAR history, has called for fans to be banned from bringing Confederate flags to races, and says that the time has come for a change in the popular sport. Alabama native Wallace, who drives the number 43 car for Richard Petty Motorsports, added his voice to the wave of protests currently taking place across the United States […]
Towards the end of his interview with Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) on Sunday morning, Fox News host Chris Wallace forced his guest to reckon with the series of incendiary tweets President Donald Trump posted over the weekend as anti-police violence protests raged across the country. Paraphrasing his previous guest, Dr. Cornel West, the Fox News Sunday host said, “We have to talk not only about what […]
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace didn’t get the chance to confront White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany directly this weekend. So Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade did it for him. About halfway through her appearance on that show Tuesday morning, Kilmeade brought up a comment McEnany made during her Friday press conference. “Boy, it’s interesting to be in a room that desperately wants to […]
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace tore into White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany on Sunday morning for questioning the religious beliefs and faith of White House reporters, saying he’s never seen a press secretary act like that in his long career. Following President Donald Trump’s Friday announcement in which he demanded that all houses of worship reopen “right now” and toothlessly threatened to “override” governors who […]
