Chris Wallace Says Working at Fox News Became ‘Increasingly Unsustainable’
Speaking out for the first time since ditching Fox News after nearly two decades, Chris Wallace said it had become “increasingly unsustainable” for him to remain with the conservative cable news giant as the network’s stars were unleashed to push out election denialism and Jan. 6 trutherism.
In an extensive interview with the New York Times that was published Sunday, the 74-year-old venerable newsman also confirmed earlier reports that he complained to Fox News management about Tucker Carlson’s docu-series Patriot Purge, which baselessly suggested that the Capitol riots were a “false flag” operation to justify a new “war on terror” against conservatives.
“I just no longer felt comfortable with the programming at Fox,” Wallace told the Times.
