Fox News anchor Chris Wallace doesn’t always see eye-to-eye with some of his fellow coworkers.
Wallace let it be known that he’s not happy when his Trump-supporting colleagues go to war with those in the media the president deems “fake news.”
“It bothers me,” he told the AP. “If they want to say they like Trump, or that they’re upset with the Democrats, that’s fine. That’s opinion. That’s what they do for a living.”
“I don’t like them bashing the media, because oftentimes what they’re bashing is stuff that we on the news side are doing,” he said. “I don’t think they recognize that they have a role at Fox News and we have a role at Fox News. I don’t know what’s in their head.
“I just think it’s bad form.”
One can surmise that Wallace was directing his aim at hosts like those on “Fox & Friends,” Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson who are the major champions of the president at the network.
Hannity’s arch nemesis at CNN, Brian Stelter, used the quote to hit the Fox News host.

There were plenty in the so-called lame stream media that cheered Wallace, but most who side with Trump did not:
Attacks on the press r deserved & warranted as they r unapologetically biased & always spin the truth. Report the FACTS, no need for bashing

@FoxNews Chris Wallace is like a spoiled little twit who belongs on MSNBC. Try growing a pair of balls!

Wallace is probably not going anywhere as he recently resigned with Fox News.
How about doing something about the fake news, Chris Wallace, instead of beating down the people trying to right the wrong

Chris Wallace is an embarrassment to Fox News. I always turn off Fox when he or Shep come on. They hurt your credibility.
