Chris Wallace, who’s been an anchor and political reporter for half a century, believes the news business has changed drastically since his career began. In those years, he’s held coveted positions at most of the major networks – ABC, NBC, and of course, Fox News. In 2021, after nearly two decades as the anchor of Fox News Sunday, he quit the network for a job at its rival CNN.
On Mediaite’s Press Club, Wallace spoke at length about the circumstances that lead to his departure from the network. “I had no problem with conservative opinion any more than I do with liberal opinion,” he told Mediaite editor in chief Aidan McLaughlin. “But what I do have a problem with is conspiracy and lies. The truth is non-negotiable.”
