Chris Wallace: ‘The Republican primaries will be a production of Fox News’

[tinrobot]

Chris Wallace phoned in to Fox Business Network's Imus in the Morning Thursday to talk about his recent appearance on Comedy Central's The Daily Show. Wallace had half-jokingly explained to Comedy Central host Jon Stewart how Fox News was planning to profit from the fact that so many GOP contenders work at the network.

"We're thinking of a 13 week series like American Idol or Dancing with the Stars: The GOP Presidential Primary," Wallace said.

The next day, Wallace was actually serious when he made essentially the same pitch to Don Imus.

"As I said on Stewart, because we own all of the people who are running for president, we're going to turn it into a 13-week series, like Dancing with the Stars or something," he said.

"The Republican primaries will be a production of Fox News," Wallace added.

1. I expected to see the Onion as the link

And sadly, I wasn't too surprised to see it wasn't.

2. I've never liked Chris Wallace at all

I find him incredibly boring. But this is amusing. I also don't think any of the Fox-employed potential contenders could get the nomination.

3. I wonder what his father thinks of that!!!!

Does anybody have an idea whether Mike Wallace is/was a liberal?

4. "we own all of the people who are running for president"

What part of that statement is not incredibly disturbing and undemocratic?
