Chris Wallace Doesn't Like Democrats Refusing To Appear On FOX News
Oh, it's 4:00. I guess it's time for some whine and cheese.
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace tells Politico's Michael Calderone that "the Democrats are damn fools [for] not coming on Fox News." Wallace thinks that once the party has a nominee "they probably will come on, because they know that we get a lot of voters they are going to need if they are going to win the election."
"Just imagine if the Republicans, under pressure from right-to-life groups, refused to appear on CNN or MSNBC," Wallace said. "I think there would be holy unshirted hell." Read on...
Gosh, Chris, why do you suppose Democrats would refuse to go on FOX? Ya think it might have to do with hackery like this?
who gives a fuck
Oh, poor baby!
Those bad Democrats! What's wrong with doing interviews on a network where the political views of the employees range from far-right to lunatic fringe kool-aid drinking right?
CoIntelPro @ 1:
I agree.
Little Chrissy seems a bit testy - maybe he's a bit too defensive??
Hey Chris, you are lucky your daddy was born before you.
Chris Wallace the Frank Sinatra Jr of journalism
Chris got where he is by hard work and being unafraid to meet challenges head-on.
Either that, or his dad.
Who the hell is the victim, Chris? The Democrats seem to be doing just fine without the help of FAUX News. By the way, how’s the Republican campaign fundraising going for ya there partner?
if i were chris i would start looking for a new job....pravda.....uhh.... i mean faux news will be quickly disassembled.
Certainly the Democrats would show up if they knew
there'd be a civil discussion.
Given Fox's reputation for innuendo, overtalking and
shouting, Democrats won't be showing up until
FNC changes its ways.
Why would pro-life people be watching MSNBC or CNN in the first place, if they considered them to be part of the "liberal" media? And why is it ok for Republiscum to boycott Univision, but Dems can't do the same for Faux News?
Well let's start and end with the fact Chris Wallace is a horse's ass.
Why should they when he asks offensive questions, not to mention the Democrat who did would have to look at the dust from Bush's boots on his lips.
Chris sounds lonely.
Hey, Chris. Maybe the Dems would show up if you were...for example...your dad!

The title of this entry is too long. It needs to be shortened too: "Chris Wallace Doesn't Like Democrats."
Chris Wallace is one of the biggest jerks in America. He must be a huge embarrassment to his father.
A Democratic presidential candidate agreeing to an appearance on FauxNoise is just plain stupid, since none of their base even watches the "news network". Does any Dem honestly believe that the watchers of FauxNews are going to ever vote for a Dem, except maybe that fucking traitor Joe LIEberman? FUCK FOX, I say! And let's have T-shirts made with that phrase that we can proudly wear for all to see!!!!
republicanSScareme @ 20:
I heard that Mike disowned his son a couple of years ago.
HACKS..right word for these Ailes worms...
Hope no one ever sells them a clue.....
rasta @ 9:
Pravda's still around (it has turned into a Russian version of Weekly World News). Maybe he can find a new job there.
I think the democrats should go on all of the news channels. Chris Wallace's problem is that he doesn't work for a news channel. It's a biased propaganda channel.
I just defaced my screen and drew a hitler-style mustasch on that Chris fella.
Kinda makes him look cute. Not as gay as he really is, just cute.
Meanwhile -- back in another part of the asylum...............
After what he did to Bill Clinton a while back? Forget it.
Fox News' mouth breathing, knuckle dragging fans are not going to vote for a Democrat no how much any Democratic politician attempts to pander to them. They've already been trained Pavlovian style how to think about politics and the Democratic Party in particular. Why bother to go on and allow Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdock and their cadre of souless corporate hack talking heads to frame the debate and the candidate the way they want?
Chris thinks he works for a legit news outlet??? wierd.
Its like watching Inside Edition all day.
StirFry @ 29:
More like watching a puppet show, except everyone but Humes lips move.
Yeah, well I don't like the partisan hacks on FOX showcasing their conservative bias while pretending to be journalists, so I guess it all even out.
great news for me. finally the democrat (democratic party ala fox news) has started to boycott pravda.
slow slow move the dinocrats but this is something i'm a little grateful for.
i wonder if the fox goading will make some of them come on the faux?
i picture chris and the gang at fucks news at thier xmass party where all the good judas goats drop thier drawers and bend over the yule log while bush and chaney cram thier yule log up thier collective asses and they all sing cum all ye faithful!!!!!god is good!
looks like the democrats boycott of fox news has finally gotten them a bit rattled.
now if only the dems could suck it up and do the same to the gop in congress...
jogger @ 12:
along with the rest of fux!
that's the way it works for bullies.
once you let them have your lunch money, they feel ENTITLED to it.

that's the part I like! :)
Actually, what the Democrats should be doing is what is highlighted on Fox's screen, and that is to defund this unnecessary occupation before more Americans become killed and blown up and maimed and crippled for absolutely no justifiable reason whatsoever. But the majority party will not do this because they are simply terrified that Fox "News" will brand them the same way that is portrayed on the screen, as supposedly being disloyal to their country. Fox "News" is using the same tactics that the politicians used forty years vis a vis Vietnam, claiming that anyone who argued for withdrawing or cutting off the funding would be labeled a traitor. The Democrats are doing a good job of demonstrating that they have little if any spine and they they can make no claim of being the party of principle in this country; rather, they attempt to do everything they can to make sure that they do not step on any one's feelings, especially the demagogues that reside at Fox "News".
The perfect answer would be, "We DO go on news shows all of the time. However, FOX hardly qualifies for that distinction. They also lack any professional journalists. So, their best bet would to buy some talking points from one of the networks, like CNN, MSCNBC, NYT, WP, C&L, etc." In other words, rub their noses in a decade of lies, slander, disinformation, and intimidation. It will be a fitting tribute for the Democrats to simply ignore them and leave them as the only outlet without sources.
we all know how evil fox is. why do you still waste time, energy and bytes on these idiots? you are preaching to the choir and your efforts could be put to better use, such as shaming those lame democrats and non-fox news outlets who think they have to placate fox viewers.
Erroll @ 39:
you have a point. it seems we're praising dems for doing the absolute very least that they can do, which is pretty pathetic.
Olby's Wig @ 37:
:lol: I was just about to reply to to this one. I was preparing a string of four-letter words. :P
I feel cheated! :lol:
Or you could scroll down two posts on the blog and see the post "Bushed!"
Now, not to say I think FOX is anything close to objective, just that the comparison of Republicans going on MSNBC or CNN is fair, since those outlets tend to be just as biased in their own unique ways.
Who's Chris Wallace?
Dearest Chris, I will believe Faux News is "Fair and Balanced" as soon as The Decider appears on Countdown for an hour long live interview with Keith Olbermann. Can we expect it during this millennium?
Oh, never mind: "Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace"
" #14 abarts Says:
Chris sounds lonely."
Chris is not lonely his best friends with Bush's ass.
underground @ 44:
Yep, biased towards the Repugnicant backed corporations like most of our media.
Democrats would be foolish to bother with Fox "News." Every single time a politician shows up on that program they give it a sense of crediblity that it doesn't deserve. I also wish people would stop calling that show to argue with those clowns. If they do call Fox it should be only to prank them.
I can't stand listening to wall ass :(
I find it funny I did a search on "Chris Wallace" and the most popular person with that name was a rapper who went by "Notorious B.I.G." and has been deceased for ten years. This hack was like the third or fourth one mentioned, in order of popularity.
No need to imagine:
And as for his claim the Dems will need Fox:
Chris Wallace is a damn fool.
Faux has a news program????
lifecycle @ 54:
Actually, no, they don't.
FOX is State Sponsored TV
And I don't trust CNL's FOX stories anymore.
I'm about to remove CNL from my history.
whine and cheese-- i like that--
whenever i see this fool i react the same way that i do when i see dubya-- what an embarrassment to his father--
I salute anyone who avoids Faux noise. It is nothing more than a Republic propaganda machine. I encourage all Democrats to boycott this network. Maybe ultimately it will go out of business and 'Chrissy the sissy' will find out his true worth. He is the true "Damn Fool" who trys to tar others with his own brush.
SCREW FOX! "BOO HOO!" YOU MADE YOUR BED NOW LIE IN IT JERKS.
Gosh, Chris, why do you suppose Democrats would refuse to go on FOX?
Because they're little vaginas?
Yes.
My fantasy interview with Wallace . " before i answer your question , I just want to say you people are biased right wing lapdogs , that are in the business of propaganda and NOT journalism " I'm sorry Chris, what was your question again ? "
well, i personally think it would be holy shirted hell.
Fox News and its correspondents' problem (in the real world -- "virtue" in the insane-o world) is that they specialize in confusing hard-hitter questioning with lynching. They believe anytime they are snubbed by a Democrat, it should come across to the right-wing audience that they are every bit as cowardly as they are already assumed to be.
I think a journalist's job should never be to destroy the person they invited to interview, which is all Fox's people want to do when they invite someone from the "other side." It's simply not gracious. And the affect that type of agenda has is that it really does make it look like we're not watching for the interviewee; we're watching a personality do what they do best with whatever immaterial piece of bait agreed to do the show.
This certainly is not to be confused with appropriate journalism that provokes discomfort. Appropriate journalism is neutral in loyalty and seeks to put those on the spot who have a hard time providing consistent back-up to the things they say. No matter how much homework a Democrat has done as a politician, they will always be a two-faced liar to these people; and no matter how blatently misinformed or dark-hearted a Republican is, there's no question light enough. They only get the tough treatment when they happen to be a Republican who has some humanist sense and is somehow betraying the script all members of the GOP are expected to follow.
Chris Wallace is one of the biggest jerks in America. He must be a huge embarrassment to his father.
Actually my father used to whine incessantly during 60 minuter about how much of a right wing ass Mike Wallace was, especially in the early 70's and 60's, so don't think Chrissie boy is any kind of rebel or that he isn't the apple of daddy's eye.
Anyway, since when do any electoral candidates have the obligation to appear on entertainment shows for insipid morons? They've all got all they can do to meet the millions of people who want to hear the truth for once.
Tough Shit.
Chris Wallace has not only learned to fake sincerity,
He's learned to fake sanity.
Anyone who appears on Faux News who does not spend his entire time making Wallace look like a flustered dweeb is someone who should not be on Faux News.
Two essentials to any furtherance of Democracy in America:
1) Public funding of elections
2) De-centralized media and corporate power.
Otherwise it will be one constant continuation of their lies and our outrage.
Murdoch is but one example, but who ever thought that that scum-bucket should control all/much media?
Why would we let him? How could that ever be interpreted as progress? Sheesh.
...
Appearing on Fox News is like stepping in dogshit. You dont have to do it to know you wouldn't like it.
Holy Fuck Batman! We might just need a goddamned electron microscope to find any fucking shred of credibility YOU have, Mister Never-had-a-non-partisan-thought-in-my-life, Wallace.
it all changes in 2008.
John the Elder @ 58:
It's fair to say that FOX caters to Republicans and just as much CNN caters to Democrats (in general terms).
The Repubs haven't dodged a single debate on either CNN or MSNBC or any station I know. Did you tubetube vids... THE REPUBLICANS GOT GRILLED.
Yea FOX is paramount in selling rightwing propaganda. Agreed. But I'd rather vote for a candidate whose man enough to take the heat than a pussy who runs and hides after consulting with his campaign manager.
Know what I mean?
I think it's pretty safe to say that Fox bashes democrats pretty much 24/7. It would be stupid to help them appear to be a reputable news channel when it's obvious they're not.Anyone that watches Fox news on a regular basis is not going to change their minds and vote for a democrat in any case. I've never seen CNN or MSNBC bash republicans in general just for being republicans, but
I've never seen a show on Fox where they didn't bash a democrat. Right down to their stupid assed comedy shows or "business" shows. Fair and balanced my ass!
Dear Chris Wallace,
stop being a pom pom waver for the republicans and do your job. If you really were fair and balanced Democrats would go on your Pinochetist network
Yeah Glenn Beck on CNN makes my liberal insides feel all warm and fuzzy. This is a false arguement. No other station has done the ridiculous things that Fox has done. (mislabeling criminals democrats, taglines saying the dems are surrendering, etc etc etc..
Fox is not a real news organization. It might as well be a right wing video blog. I like reading the left wing blog variety, but I never forget that I am in an echo chamber. When all of the republican candidates come on daily KOS or something similar I will start calling the dems not going on Fox cowards. Until then it is just common sense.
Also,why would they want to go on a network that has Ollie North,Dick Morris,Ann Coulter,Bill Krystal,Michelle Malkin or even the de-ranged Ted Nugent as regulars ?
"unshirted"????
Joe for Unity08 @ 72:
I'd rather you knew what you were typing about.
CoIntelPro @ 1:
Exactly! Eff you Chris Wallace... you fucktard! You must be such a disappointment to your parents.
This is very good news coming from Chris "FOXY" Wallace.
The smearing treatment of Dems on FOX and the 24 hrs daily of it, caused Dems to avoid FOX set ups.
When the DEm Primary Presidencial hopefuls decided to not have FOX do their ads or debates. I realized FOX would cry for the missed profiting off of Dems that would be foolish to try and gain a vote from a FOX viewer.
Chris is admitting that the Dems money is sorely missed. Hurt FOX in wallet... I truely hope that the Dems can stay away from FOX during the General election.
If Dems did their homework and ran the numbers. They will find there is n votes to be swayed from the FOX viewer. Dems would just give FOX more hate spewing material to unite FOX's intolerant viewers to hate "Liberals, Democrats, Atheists, and people different than who they think they are.
Lets see what polls show next Fall.
Its possible the average FOX viewer will be weak-kneed about
all the tory BS by then.
In the meantime, way to go Reid and Pelosi as you make sure this doesn't happen.
I wonder if he has unresolved issues with his dad.
Chris Wallace is a little bitch.
I wonder if Rahm Emanuel warned Democratic Congress(wo)men not to appear on Fox, the way he warned them not to appear on The Colbert Report. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if the Dems won the Presidency, took a 60-40 majority in the Senate and retained the House, and NONE of them would appear on Fox?
Chris Wallace is to journalism what G. W. Bush is to the Presidency.
"holy unshirted hell"?? Does Chris have some Chip and Dale issues?
He didn't think that about Bill Clinton, when Clinton was on his show and literally handed him his ass on National Television.
That was must-see-TV right there. Wallace hasn't been the same since.
Maybe Democrats don't want to go on Fox News because they know how you try to set them up and beat them down, and they can't get a word in unless you stretch it out of context?
Joe for Unity08
The Repubs haven’t dodged a single debate on either CNN or MSNBC or any station I know. Did you tubetube vids… THE REPUBLICANS GOT GRILLED.
Yeah, sure, but republicans have dodged the Tavis Smiley debate on PBS because they were too damned scared of offending their petty racist base. So don't go into this mode of pretending republicans are stand up guys. So you cons better stop playing victim because you guys duck debates to appease your bigoted base.
Why should Democrats listen to a "damn fool" like you, Chris? Please to eff yourself.
We have all seen his (Wallace) work and many other Faux Noos shows - is anyone else worried that monitors like us skew the ratings for them favorably?
Will @ 6:
Dino, Desi, & Dickhead!!!
Should Barak Obama show up at a KKK church fete?
Chris Wallace was all the proof our mothers needed when they said if we skooshed our faces between our hands, while laying of our bellies watching telly, that our faces would set that way permanently.
The company he works for is founded on bias and everyone knows it. If Wallace cant even admit that like a big boy why would any serious person give him the time of day? Adults have usually learned to avoid bullshitters. If his plea had any shred of "mea culpa, but.." then someone might have listened. Instead we get another self-righteous red meat toss.
HOLY UNSHIRTED HELL!!! OOH,old PUDDIN FACE DOUGHBOY CAN REALLY THROW DOWN!!!!
Mike Wallace should have asked for blow jobs more often...
"Gosh, Chris, why do you suppose Democrats would refuse to go on FOX? Ya think it might have to do with hackery like this?"
Or the hackery that the FOX & Friends hosts pulled on Air America's Lionel last Saturday morning?
Lionel was on to discuss NBC's original decision not to air the FreedomWatch.org ad. He presented a hypothetical about FOX "news" refusing to run an ad for a group they disagreed with politically and/or morally (such as MoveOn, Nambla and others). After Lionel had left and the commercial break was over, the 3 hosts slipped into outrage mode and accused Lionel of equating the military to pedophiles. In no way whatsoever did Lionel equate the soldiers to pedophiles but that didn't stop the FOX & Friends stooges from saying he did.
Sure, give the other side - Democratic candidates in the Wallace example - some airtime but then lie/spin things when they are not there to correct the misinformation. When deceitful hackery like the Lionel example and bullsh*t on-screen graphics are put to use by FOX "news", the Dems come out on the losing end.
Maybe there's too much lead in Chris' makeup.
I'll tell you all this though....
Every Democrat candidate who grants FOX and interview will lose my Vote.
I've emailed my concerns on this non-issue to both candidates, and I'm waiting not to see.
But as for Chris Wallace, LOL, there's one word for him: PATHETIC!
