ABC Reporter Chris Wallace Joins Fox News

[kskiska]

NEW YORK (AP) -- Veteran ABC News reporter Chris Wallace is rejoining the Sunday talk show wars, replacing Tony Snow as host of "Fox News Sunday" starting in mid-November.

Wallace, who was briefly host of NBC's "Meet the Press" in the mid-1980s, has been covering politics for ABC's "Primetime Live." He was the chief White House correspondent at NBC during the Reagan presidency.

Roger Ailes, Fox News chairman, called Wallace a "journalist of great experience and integrity."

Snow is leaving the one-hour political chat show to be host of a syndicated program for Fox News Radio.

Wallace, who did not return telephone calls seeking comment, will join panelists Brit Hume (a fellow ABC News alum), Bill Kristol, Mara Liasson and Juan Williams.

1. Big sucking sound coming from the Dark Side

where another soul is lost forever.

2. "A journalist of . . . integrity"

Well, nothing lasts forever, and by joining Faux, Mr. Wallace has cashiered his integrity for a big, fat paycheck. I wonder what a man's soul goes for these days?

4. Another reporter I will no longer see

Since I never watch Faux News.

5. You know, it is amazing to me (actually, it no longer is) that Fox

retains Bill Kristol. Bill Kristol is one of the primary architects, and a founding member, of PNAC. Without bias? Hardly. How can the network say this, when they are employing someone who helped engineer the Iraq invasion, and is a member of one of he most fascist groups since the Nazis?

If there was ever further evidence needed of media complicity with the fascist Bush regime, there it is. Rupert Murdoch and his minions should be stripped of their 1st Amendment protections, which they have abused horribly, and charged under the RICO Act with conspiracy, and for treasonable acts against the U.S.A., for aiding and abetting this illegal and criminal administration.

:grr:

9. Did you ever notice Kristol when he "smiles"? It's a closed mouth

wide-ass stretch number that looks for all the world like he is taking a monster crap right there. Not a smile at all. PNACers are all fucking weird.

So talented....yet turns to whoring!

or, WHO? or WHOM?

10. He'll be Foxified

I always thought he was a goo reporter, but he'll be appropriately Foxified.
