Chris Wallace Explains His Departure From Fox News [VIDEO]

During an interview on MSNBC, Chris Wallace talked about his departure from Fox News, saying that the network shifted towards appealing to MAGA voters. 

Chris Wallace, the son of legendary newsman Mike Wallace, was a long-time personality at Fox News. He was also more professional than most on the network, willing to push back on Conservative lawmakers, including Donald Trump, when he thought they were doing the wrong thing. 

Eventually, Wallace decided to move away from Fox and now works for CNN. He appeared on MSNBC tonight and host Ari Melber asked: 

"I have someone who worked in Fox not praising you, and we only learned about this from private text messages. Laura Ingraham says, 'My anger at the news channel is pronounced,' her making a distinction between what some news anchors do and what she does. Tucker Carlson texted, 'It should be. We devote our lives to building an audience and they let Chris Wallace wreck it.' Your response?"

"Well I'm employed and really isn't anymore," Wallace responded. "So, that's part of my response."

Wallace continued:

"I sensed a change in Fox, as time went on, particularly after the 2020 election, particularly after we, correctly, but were the first to call Arizona on Election Night in 2020. And the Trump campaign was very upset with us, and a lot of Trump supporters were very upset with us, and they began going to other news avenues, like Newsmax that were even further to the right. And I sensed a change, that there was less interest, even in the news side, in sticking to the facts, sticking to the truth, and more in telling that audience, to try to win them back, what they wanted to hear."
