In wake of the decision from WarnerMedia suits to oust Jeff Zucker, Wallace is said to be “second guessing his decision” even though he is believed to be earning $8 to $10 million per year.

“Chris is the type of person who makes it known if he doesn’t like something,” said a TV industry insider.

“He went over there for Zucker and now Zucker is gone. Wallace feels that he has been stiffed. He’s got no staff, no Executive Producer and the guy he gave up a prized gig for has just walked out the door.”

Zucker is said to have allayed Wallace’s concerns about two heavyweight figures at CNN: Jake Tapper, the host of The Lead, and Sam Feist, the cable giant’s Washington bureau chief and senior vice president.

Apparently, Wallace was counting on Zucker to insulate him from all the mess at CNN, including the territorial predations of Jake Tapper. That’s obviously not going to happen now, and Wallace has been left adrift. From the sound of things, there isn’t even much framework in place of his new show yet, and with the intra-company battles likely to heat up at the rudderless network, Wallace may not have the ability to do anything but cower.

Meanwhile, Fox News is dominating the ratings and thriving

Ever hear the word karma, Chris ?

just gets better day by day

its a wonderful thing to see communists and anti-American scum fail

and we get to see it happening real time - how luck is that?

Couldn't happen to a more deserving propagandist

Somebody call the whambulance for Chris!

Karma Chris Wallace it's Karma.

Damn that's poetic. I never understood why Fox left him on the air for so long. Guess they needed a token leftist, like Juan Williams I guess. But Juan is certainly a more personable guy even if you disagree with his politics.

^^^ Oh, that's the funny part. Chris Wallace was supposed to make both FOX and CNN more respectable to those who identify as political centrists.

But yeah, I would kinda like to know who ran interference for Wallace at FOX for all those years.

^^ He wasn't a centrist when he hosted that Presidential debate - he was a pure partisan. Should have been fired that night.

CNN may be the first old media firm forced to file for bankruptcy.

Breaks my heart to see it, actually.

It is a damned shame.

One of the greats has fallen.

It’s all due to Trump’s Russia collusion that stopped Hillary from getting HER TURN!!

Ooh! Ooh! I wanna see who takes over all the real estate!

That's what makes it funny.

That may not be optimal.

Imagine, if you will, a world in which one of the leftists' major sources of "news" and one of the left's most valuable propaganda arms suddenly became a real news source again?

It could happen.

What the WarnerMedia-Discovery deal means for CNN and Jeff Zucker

Except we now know Zucker is history and...

quote:

There’s a place for CNN in the proposed $43 billion combination of WarnerMedia and Discovery, billionaire media mogul John Malone told CNBC in a recorded interview that aired Thursday.

“I would like to see CNN evolve back to the kind of journalism that it started with, and actually have journalists, which would be unique and refreshing,” said the cable TV pioneer and longtime chairman of Liberty Media, which is a major shareholder in Discovery. “I do believe good journalism could have a role in this future portfolio that Discovery-TimeWarner’s going to represent.”

Ref: John Malone says WarnerMedia-Discovery getting rid of CNN would be the ‘coward’s way out’

Just who is John Malone?

quote:

John Carl Malone (born March 7, 1941) is an American billionaire businessman, landowner and philanthropist. He was chief executive officer (CEO) of Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI), a cable and media giant, for twenty-four years from 1973 to 1996. Malone is now chairman and largest voting shareholder of Liberty Media ...
...
Malone's political beliefs have been described as libertarian. He is on the board of directors for the Cato Institute. He donated US$250,000 to Donald Trump's inauguration in 2017, with colleague Greg Maffei, Liberty Media, and Liberty Interactive each donating a further US$250,000.

Chris Wallace's biggest problem may not be Zucker is gone and he's left undefended from the predations of his fellow "journalists" at CNN, but that he'll find himself having to do something with which he may be entirely unsuited: Actually become a real journalist

We can hope

I don't think he has the chops to become a real journalist.

Any update on CNN? They still on the air? Anyone been to an airport recently that can confirm they still suck?
