Chris Wallace Makes Surprise Announcement He's Quitting Fox, Jumping to CNN's Streaming Service

We'll soon be hearing that he made this decision due to Tucker Carlson. And then Jonah and Steevie will join him over there.

Chris Wallace, the longtime Washington journalist, announced his departure from Fox News Channel at the end of his weekly program Sunday, and will head to CNN's upcoming streaming service.

Wallace, whose contract at Fox News ends this month, was considered the most even-handed journalist at the conservative-leaning Fox News. An 18-year veteran of the channel, he was the anchor of its Sunday roundtable show "Fox News Sunday."

LOL.

"Eighteen years ago, the bosses here at Fox promised me they would never interfere with a guest I booked or a question I asked," Wallace said on his program. "And they kept that promise. I have been free to report to the best of my ability, to cover the stories I think are important, to hold our country's leaders to account. It's been a great ride."

Wallace has long said he was immune to the right-wing rhetoric of Fox News commentators and never publicly criticized the organization. There have been reports that he was among the journalists in the Washington bureau who expressed concerns about Tucker Carlson's documentary series about the Jan. 6 insurrection, which pushed a conspiracy theory that suggested government involvement.
