Chris Wallace Announces Exit From Fox News

He said on the show that “after 18 years, I have decided to leave Fox. I want to try something new, to go beyond politics to all the things I’m interested in. I’m ready for a new adventure. And I hope you’ll check it out. And so —for the last time, dear friends — that’s it for today. Have a great week. And I hope you’ll keep watching A permanent host has not been named. Wallace’s contract was set to expire at the end of the year, according to a source.

A source said that Bret Baier, John Roberts, Shannon Bream, Martha MacCallum, Neil Cavuto and Bill Hemmer would be among the names expected to fill in asWallace, 74, has been one of the network’s highest profile hosts, known for his hard-hitting interviews on both sides of the aisle. But he also has been a target of President Donald Trump, including after Wallace moderated the first presidential debate last year. That event turned into a chaotic event, as Trump repeatedly interrupted Joe Biden.

Since Trump’s defeat last year, Fox News has tried to consolidate the audience on the right, bumping newscasts from the nighttime hours in favor of more talking head opinion hosts. Tucker Carlson, more than any other figure, has triggered ongoing controversies, most recently over a Fox Nation documentary that advanced the theory that the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol was a “false flag” operation.

In the 2020 interview with Deadline, Wallace lamented that the news business, along with politics, had become “so tribal.”

Anyone else notice over the last 3 years that any newsperson with even a shred of credibility is moving away from MSM?

daydayb Chris Wallace should try working for any actual news service. He might like it.

It's hard to be the only person willing to tell the truth. His Dad was a great reporter as well.

CNN has not commented on what looks to be Wallace's next move --- to CNN+, its upcoming subscription streaming service.

Next Stop: NBC?
