Fox News host Chris Wallace sought to set the record straight Wednesday, urging viewers not to take “opinion people” — including those on his own network — at face value in regards to their commentary on special counsel Robert Mueller’s letter to Attorney General William Barr.
“I know there are some people who don’t think this March 27 letter is a big deal,” Wallace said. “Some opinion people, some opinion people who appear on this network, who may be pushing a political agenda.”
“But, you know, we have to deal in facts,” he continued. “And the fact is that this letter from the special counsel, and it was one of at least three contacts with the Attorney General between March 25 and March 27, was a clear indication that [Mueller] was upset, very upset, with the letter that had been sent out by the attorney general, and wanted it changed, or wanted it at least added to and the attorney general refused to do so. He felt the attorney general’s letter was inaccurate.”
This take varies wildly from some of Wallace’s peers’ coverage, including Laura Ingraham’s, who called the letter a “non-story.”

Unfortunately, there’s no GOPer like him in the Senate.
Uh, oh. When Foxers show even a smidgen of integrity don’t they tend to suddenly take extended “vacations?”
So Chris how’s your retirement account? You know this won’t sit well the ‘ipso facto’ President of Fox News-Trump. Or are you hoping that Trump doesn’t watch what you say?
His father would approve.
Next, Wallace will urge people to boycott the sponsors of Fox’s “opinion” shows.
