“I’m just done…I can’t believe you assholes give a moron like Tucker Carlson free reign but I’ve got news executives telling me I have to leave out important details to spin the news because you’re afraid the truth is too ‘pro Biden’. I’ve just had it with you fucking lunatics I’m out of here!” is what we imagine Chris Wallace said shortly before he announced on the December 12th episode of Fox News Sunday that he’s leaving FOX News.
“After 18 years I have decided to leave FOX,” said Wallace. “This is my final Fox News Sunday. 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.”
Wallace has long been regarded as one of the very few people on FOX who isn’t bat-shit crazy. The network is shedding the few credible journalists it has left, and turning into an echo chamber or paranoid nationalist conspiracy theories. Many are anxious to see if the network will bother to try to replace Wallace with someone who is even nominally credible, or if they will continue down the rabbit hole of right-wing paranoia and stupidity, by replacing Wallace with a mental patient like Newsmax host Greg Kelly, or another mental patient like long-time right-wing propagandist Mark Levin.
