The astounding collapse of CNN’s heavily hyped new streaming service CNN+ which is folding its tent after only one month due to a complete lack of interest had many rejoicing over the epic failure of the self-proclaimed “most trusted name in news” and its ill-fated entry into the digital world.

Fox News hosts, in particular, basked in the news, reveling in the schadenfreude of CNN+ detonating while barely off the launching pad, an implosion made all the more delightful because of the fate of longtime anchor Chris Wallace who jumped ship for the competitor’s new venture.

Tucker Carlson was among those on Fox who skewered Wallace during a segment with Fox Business reporter Charles Gasparino who broke the news last month that CNN+ was dead on arrival, the chyron at the bottom of the screen read, “Nobody signed up to watch Mike Wallace’s son,” referring to Wallace’s father, legendary “60 Minutes” reporter Mike Wallace.

Gasparino discussed the lack of attractive content on CNN+.

“They got some blowhard from NYU, Scott Galloway, talking about tech, I mean the guy,  I don’t understand why people would tune into this guy, and I guess, Chris Wallace, the aforementioned Chris Wallace,” he said. “ You know, I’m not going to critique his journalism abilities, I’m sure he’s very good at his job, I don’t watch him much, I didn’t watch him much when he was on our network.”

Carlson cracked up, “I’m with you, man,” as the two chuckled about Wallace.

Also piling on his former colleague was Greg Gutfeld who repeatedly took shots at Wallace throughout Thursday’s edition of “The Five,” joking that the Democratic Party bench is “thinner than Chris Wallace’s demo reel from CNN+,” one of many jabs at the former Fox News anchor.

In another dunk on Wallace’s ill-fated move, Gutfeld said, “BLM has done to black people what Chris Wallace did to CNN+, he enticed them with a promise and then ditched them on the side of the road.”

“I’m going to do this every segment so just get used to it,” he added.

CNN’s incoming CEO, who hasn’t even taken over yet, told staffers on Thursday that CNN+ was ending, according to a New York Post report, and that many employees were left “furious” and may soon be out of jobs.

“This is f–king crazy, it is nuts,” one insider told the outlet. “The big people will likely be saved, but what about everybody else, the people who do the real work?”

“Everyone is aghast and furious,” the source told the Post.

“’This literally rivals the epic disaster of Quibi,’ the insider said, referring to Jeffrey Katzenberg’s short-lived streaming platform that went out of business just seven months after it launched in April 2020,” the outlet reported.

Gloating over Wallace’s humiliation wasn’t limited to Fox News studios as even former President Donald J. Trump got in on the action with a Thursday statement on the demise of CNN+.

“Congratulations to CNN+ on their decision to immediately FOLD for a lack of ratings, or viewers in any way, shape, or form,” Trump wrote in one of the releases from his Save America PAC that he has used to get his message out after being banned by every major social media platform days after the so-called “insurrection” on January 6, 2021.

“It was like an empty desert out there despite spending hundreds of millions of dollars and the hiring of low-rated Chris Wallace, a man who tried so hard to be his father, Mike, but lacked the talent and whatever else is necessary to be a star,” he wrote, skewering Wallace. “In any event, it’s just one more piece of CNN and Fake News that we don’t have to bother with anymore!”

Twitter users had little sympathy for Wallace and his new employer.

Despite the current humiliation, Wallace will likely have a soft landing at CNN which will find a spot for its multi-million dollar acquisition although likely not one that is nearly as prestigious as the job that he left at Fox News.

  1. Yes, the gasping remnant of CommieNothingNitwits will find some spot near the Handicap area to park Wallace, but CommieNN days are counting down!
    (The absolute BEST Ukraine analysis: www(dot)rt(dot)com/russia/554166-international-law-military-operation-ukraine)
    Read the truth, not the JeU.S./NATO/EU propaganda!

  2. Can y’all help me out here? Chris Wallace bolted from Fox practically in tears over Tucker Carlson’s “Patriot Purge” investigative series. But I must have missed Wallace’s no doubt brilliant, fact-based refutation of Carlson’s reports. Where can I find it? Must be somewhere! 😂

  3. The CNN+ story isn’t ALL bad. After all, it got Chris Wallace off of Fox News and for that I’m eternally grateful. Thank you, CNN.

    1. And it didn’t cost FOX a nickle.

      CNN, on the other hand, spent $300 million for 30 day with Chris. Even his dad wasn’t that good.

  4. Hey CNN+, tears, couldn’t take off like FOX Nation? If you have no ratings on your major fake news, why would anyone sign up for more fake news???
    As for Chrissy, time to join Hillary Clinton, go walk in the woods. LOL😂

  5. Chris got what he deserved. Remember, actions have consequences. LET’S GO BRANDON! WeLoveTrump.com

  6. He, He, He, Ha, Ha, Ha, now if we could rid ourselves of Geraldo and Juan, life would be better.

  7. Chris Wallace was always the “out of the closet Democrat” he showed that clearly in his biased treatment of Trump in the debates, and his daily Sunday show-where he was very hard on Republicans but served up big softballs to Democrats.

  8. Wallace was an arrogant never-Trumper who thought he was going to waltz over to CNN and take his Fox following with him. NOT…!?!?! Gutfeld sent the night trolling Wallace and was hilarious. LOL….

  9. “Everybody is aghast and furious”…well cry me a river mf. When you work for a commie organization, you have to be prepared to get canned, when people figure out that they are watching nothing more than a B movie.

  10. CNN is a demolition Co. Good thing is since no one hardly watches them anylonger that they have nothing else to destroy except their own Co. I predict another implosion pretty soon. All of their pent up anger is paying off in dividends. I wonder if theyve ran out of bullets yet. They keep shooting themselves in the foot. Looking at the given trend of CNN. who would want to work for them just to get cancelled one month later. Not even an illiterate street bum would take a job with them now.

  11. Chris Wallace was really sucking up to Psaki, wonder if he’s pushing for a job at MSNBC?
    What these MSM don’t get is Wallace had low viewership at FOX. Why hire a loser, just because of who his dad was? Oh, yea, they’ve never figured out hire the best, not gender, race, or who’s related to who.

    1. They simply aren’t that bright. They actually thought that because Meghan Kelly had a strong following at Fox, their lefty commie loving viewers would like her too.

  12. Chrisy should think about getting himself a paper route??
    I’m sure that’ll go will with us new job at CNN!!

  13. If you’re surprised, Mr. Wallace, that viewers do not care for you, then I’m surprised that you’re surprised.

  14. Trump/Conservative hating Chris Wallace. Like his dead daddy Mike, an arrogant, narcissistic, degenerate lefty. You’ll never find degenerate lefty Chris, or his degenerate lefty wife, socializing in conservative circles

  15. Hey mike. Maybe you can find your Forever Home at msnbc. Or the Hooterville Gazette. I hear they’re hiring!

    1. Maybe he can go to West Virginia and dig for coal. The city dump is full with all the CNN employees real estate rush. I heard that last week one of them found a used Nancy Pelosi tampon in the middle of their floor.
