Fox News host Chris Wallace, a registered Democrat, faced intense backlash on Tuesday night for what was widely deemed as bias in the debate in the favor of Democrat Joe Biden and against Republican President Donald Trump.
One of the issues that Wallace was called out for the most was how he appeared to let Biden interrupt Trump but would jump in to interrupt Trump when Trump would talk over Biden.

Most objective people knew going in that Wallace is a never trumper who would do what he did.
No one should have been shocked.
That's a bit deceptive in the article. The backlash from "colleagues" ... it seems it was the rightwingers who whined that he was unfair to Trump. The other comments in the article were more general, such as:
Question...Chris Wallace is not doing a good job as debate moderator...no doubt about that. But in terms of Trump's repeated interrupting would another moderator have handled it better? Without the ability to mute a microphone, what could another moderator have done?
Nothing to do with any "bias" against Trump
but rather the fact that he had NO CONTROL over the debate, none - he let Trump run roughshod over the entire debate, breaking agreed upon rules, and was completely unable to get them in line. Yes, Biden interrupted, I heard Wallace rebuke him SEVERAL times, but nothing to the degree Trump was doing. It was horrible.
