America's Chris Wallace Problem

When will Chris Wallace apologize to Katie Pavlich? More than once, Wallace has insulted his Fox News colleague on the network, as in a January segment about the impeachment of President Trump, when Wallace barked at Pavlich, "Get your facts straight!" As it turned out in that case, Pavlich was right and Wallace was wrong - and not accidentally so.

More importantly why did Chris Wallace use his position as moderator of a presidential debate to parrot Gov. Brown's rhetoric by claiming that "White supremacists and militia groups" were somehow to blame for the Portland riots? Such a claim is not journalism but political propaganda, and that goes doubly so for what happened in Kenosha.

Perhaps Chris Wallace can explain how "White supremacists and militia groups" were responsible for this violence, but probably what he had in mind were the events of the third night of the Kenosha riots.

By the way, has Chris Wallace ever mentioned Rosenbaum's criminal record on Fox News? He considers himself authorized to lecture others about how important to "Get your facts straight," why wouldn't he want to share with Fox News viewers the fact that Rosenbaum was convicted of raping five pre-teen boys in Tucson? The story of what happened in Kenosha on the night of Aug. 25 doesn't make sense if you don't know that the man who attacked Rittenhouse was a very dangerous criminal who had served more than a decade in Arizona prisons.

Chris Wallace could have used his role as debate moderator to be part of the solution to this problem.

Instead, his undisguised hatred of Trump inspired Wallace to become part of the problem.

What is even the point of having Fox News as a "Fair and balanced" alternative to the liberal media if one of their most eminent journalists cannot meet even basic requirements of truthfulness? The damage Wallace did to Trump may perhaps prove temporary, but the damage done to America by media bias is cumulative and permanent.
