Recommend please if SMIRKING CHRIS WALLACE deserves a PUNCH IN THE MOUTH.


Some people change careers, and Chris Wallace was a journalist until 2003.  He got his start by trading on the name of his overrated father, Mike Wallace, though he did well on his own. 

Since 2003, he is unburdened by the strictures of journalistic discipline, and works, as Obama did, as a community organizer.  But he has funding from billionaire wackaloon Rupert Murdoch and Fox, and together they toil to create a pro-assassination environment and bring down the government by extra-Consitutional means.  Whenever they get into trouble, Wallace is paraded out in a silly reporter's costume and tries to convince himself and others that he still has his old journalist job, and is not a front-man for a corporate sponsored sedition (domestic terrorism?) movement.  This weekend, one week after the Fox-organized insurrection rally with its Hitler signs and gun threats  in Washington, Wallace had the breathtaking temerity to quip, "Every president is thin-skinned, but I wonder whether this administration, this White House, has a particular problem with criticism."  (I.e., blaming the people they are spending millions continually to attack for defending themselves.)  They try to hide behind double talk about how the paid insurrectionists are not from the news division of the news department, or some utter malarkey:  No real journalist would ever dream of working as such a 1984-style corporate stooge, and he is no more a journalist now than were the KGB officers who wrote op-ed for Soviet newspapers.  But Chris Wallace is unfazed and he pronounces the ludicrous words above as though he of all the low, disgraceful individuals had the standing. 

I'm tempted to be more nuanced and say tar-and-feather him (and surely boycott), but I honestly can't bring myself to pull the punch.  RECOMMEND PLEASE, if somebody oughtta wipe that smirk off his face by giving Wallace a GOOD SOCK IN THE MOUTH.  

Thank you,

O.T.

Where is the line forming?

I'm a total pacifist. So you can have my place in line; that should put you closer to taking action.

You're right up in front, Grouch! This charlatan is delusional; we don't have to be.

Thanks!

I'll betcha his dad can still take him.

Good comment. I see that the feisty senior citizen turned 91 in May and supposedly still appears from time to time (?) on 60 Minutes.

user-pic

hahahah. Well you got me laughing this morning.

He is so mad he got snubbed yesterday OT. His father had the opportunity to interview so many presidents.

user-pic

Glad I entertained you, amigo.

Me, this guy actually makes me really mad. Disgrace to the journalistic profession does not even *touch* what his guy is; conflict of interest doesn't lay a *finger* on his repelling mandate.

And yet here he decked out in his risible reporter costume, daring to lecture the likes of Barack Obama's White House on how things oughtta be.

The boycott idea is a good one and not just Obama: they call, one replies, "I don't do Fox." Period.

They can interview Rush Limbaugh all day. First, though, Chris Wallace has got a clock that needs to be cleaned.

user-pic

Yes how annoying that there are a few journalists left who do not work for the DNC and dare to ask questions of The Great One.

user-pic

Just three points:

1. "Every president is thin-skinned, but I wonder whether this administration, this White House, has a particular problem with criticism." is not a question.

2. Chris Wallace is by no means working as journalist, the idea is beyond laughable. He is the willing stooge of a propaganda empire. Few things more shameful for a former journalist to sink to. How low can he go, "Clever" Bulldog?

3. Your idea about journalists working for DNC is absurd and disconnected utter from reality, embarrassing really. It certainly sounds like a *very* ignorant thing to say. See, people here are by-and-large smart. If you're not, you could be working from a deficit being on this site.

The problem is that the vast majority of all 'journalists' are leftists. Their bias is very clear in what they report and how they report it. The NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC ,CBS, all are solidly pro Obama. One news outlet (Fox) is center/right and you can't stand it.

user-pic

The view from a Bush Deadender. Reality of course has a liberal bias to the Bush Base.

Go back to your cave dog and plug into Rush 24/7.

user-pic

When will you be learning the difference between fact and opinion? Opinion and lie? That a lie isn't true, therefore cannot be an alternaitve truth?

News reports facts. Opinion is BIAS. Opinion is NOT FACT, therefore is NOT NEWS.

Wake up and grow up. Or STFU: Your ilk and view were thrown out of office by a comfortable margin.

And FOX's Fraud-on-America would be "center/right" except that it's that which is tRADITIONALLY called far-right lunatic fringe. Even Goldwater was to their left.

That's a good clip, Burnie! Recommended!

um, I think the bulldog didn't click on the link. It doesn't support him, so, well...he's just going back to Fox.

Hey, Chris. Good to see you weigh in!

Indeed, how'd that be?

Sorry for the broken English!! "*a* free man."

Oh just fill in the blank OT. What ever suits you or him as the case maybe.

I wonder what his insurance package is. Probably kinda hard to empathize with all the 50 million who can't afford it. And he'll have it until he dies; his wife will too. They just can't imagine it any other way; the very definition of lack of empathy.

user-pic

I thought Wallace's grilling of the Acorn leader was priceless.

Ms. Lewis said that we'd have an announcement today about which independent auditor would be conducting a review of their books.

Did anybody see an announcement today?

user-pic

We don't watch Fox and we don't say unpatriotic things like "I want my country back."

We love our Democracy.

user-pic

You should try watching Fox some time. That's why I watch MSNBC and subscribe to the NYTimes in addition to the WSJ.

user-pic

I don't like you all that much, Overreach...

But how the hell can I not rec this?

;-}

Good shit, Maynard.

user-pic

Hey, that's very cool, Daddy-O. Maybe we could try to build on this.

At any rate, thanks much.

user-pic

Thank you and sincere congratulations to everyone who has gotten behind this pugilistic message so far and made it a success! I truly think it needed to be heard, and it has been!

"Every president is thin-skinned, but I wonder whether this administration, this White House, has a particular problem with criticism."

The right is making a religion out of projection. And how cowardly when he could have said "... I wonder whether Barack Obama has a particular problem with criticism." I wonder what Chris owes his sense of wonder to.

How about "Every president is thick-skinned, but I wonder whether this administration, this White House, has a problem with being too deferential to idiots."

I don't think he even deserves a punch. How about a super-atomic wedgie? I'm sure Chris misses those from his formative years. Or perhaps, the tried and true swirly.

user-pic

I like a lot the "too deferential to idiots" line!

user-pic

Three thoughts, OT:

1. FOX snubbed the last couple Obama speeches. So, duh.

2. Isn't News Corp foreign owned? So could one make the argument that FOX is foreign sponsored insurrection/terrorism?

3. As satisfying as it could be to plant your fist in Wallace's face, I think it is far more effective to ridicule these people mercilessly. Portray them as idiots, not villains. The whole crew at FOX plus Limbaugh, Coulter et al certainly provide sufficient material for an ongoing Mock-Fest.

And, yes, Wallace is unbearably smug.

user-pic

All fair comments.

As to number 3, the point I would not lose is the Wallace is not employed as any journalist, but as a decoy dressed in reporter's outfit paid to front for a corporatized sedition conglomerate and willingly disgracing his former profession by that odious and corrupt masquerade.

I love Washington Post's Chris Cillizza, especially The Line on Fridays (does that count as a blog? :)), but I don't read the Post much as of August 2009 - too bloody right wing as blog below.
  • Favorite Books I dug all them books on Iraq, for example. State of Denial was pretty rich.
  • Favorite Quotes "What in effect happened was that a very astute, probably the most astute, bureaucratic entrepreneur I've ever run into in my life became the vice president of the United States. He became vice president well before George Bush picked him. And he began to manipulate things from that point on, knowing that he was going to be able to convince this guy to pick him, knowing that he was then going to be able to wade into the vacuums that existed around George Bush--personality vacuum, character vacuum, details vacuum, experience vacuum." -Lawrence Wilkerson ********** Iraq expert predicts: "I think the victory will be rapid, within about three weeks." (John McCain, MSNBC, January 28, 2003.) See, e.g., Crooks and Liars from July 2008, http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/07/29/mccain-fails-mccains-commander-in-chief-test/ ********** "Vice President Cheney has been at the head of a movement whose notion is somehow that we can't reconcile our core values, our Constitution, our belief that we don't torture, with our national security interests. I think he's drawing the wrong lesson from history. [A]fter all these years how many convictions actually came out of Guantanamo? How many terrorists have actually been brought to justice under the philosophy that is being promoted by Vice President Cheney? It hasn't made us safer. What it has been is a great advertisement for anti-American sentiment. Which means that there is constant effective recruitment of Arab fighters and Muslim fighters against U.S. interests all around the world." - President Barack Obama http://wcco.com/politics/Barack.Obama.Dick.2.965981.html ********** "My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks." http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/washingtondc/la-na-obama-presidency19-2009apr19,0,1035963.story ********
