Chris Wallace Faces Intense Backlash, Including From Colleagues, Over Bias During Debate

[Redcurtain]

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.

Very disappointed in Chris Wallace. Though I know him to be a left leaning individual, I also always thought that he was a mostly objective journalist who did a better job than most journalists at not letting his political beliefs show professionally. Not so sure anymore. He allowed Joe Biden to avoid and evade direct and specific answers to questions, and worse, let Joe Biden use the debate as a political ad, by allowing him to speak directly to the camera rather than speak to the moderator and his debate opponent as it supposed to be. He allowed Joe Biden to simply regurgitate the pablum his staff fed him over the past weeks of prep, not pressing him so he would actually have to speak on a subject "off the cuff" and prove his cognitive abilities were up to the job of President of the United States.

Not sure who actually "won" the debate, but it is perfectly clear who lost. Chris Wallace.

I disagree with this part: He allowed Joe Biden to avoid and evade direct and specific answers to questions.

I saw him, on multiple occasions, trying to pin Biden down, but Trump kept interrupting.

Really followed up on packing the court lol or how his son got rich and finally found work when his father was VP. Or why not ask him if he would condone pedophilia? When I follow up on will you condone Black Lives Matter Or antifa

 

[Care4all]

I think I saw Biden actually call Trump a "CLOWN".
Biden must not have any respect for the office which Trump holds.

I don't think there has been any president or person that has disrespected the office of the President, and presidency, than Trump, himself.... his performance last night on stage, was just a small example of it.

 

[Billy_Bob]

Trump would not let Biden complete a sentence
Biden was tap-dancing and would not answer the questions.
So that "debate" devolved into a talking point shouting match.

I was a little surprised that the President came out so combative, might have been better to wait and see if Biden could finish a sentence with an actual logical ending a couple of times before interrupting.

let Trump be Trump - for sure
Also let Biden be Biden.

Meh. Trump needs to be more "presidential" and at least act as if he has character and poise.
Biden would not answer the questions for fear of upsetting the progs.
Trump could have won the debate on points, but chose to beat the crap out of old tired Biden.

Trump needed to be Trump... thats who we elected... Trump fought back each time he was lied about and that is what I expect him to do..

"but Trump kept interrupting."

That may be true, but it's a poor excuse. He was the Moderator. He should have been in control of the debate regardless of the participants actions. He should not have allowed Trumps interruptions to absolve Biden from answering the question.

 

[Billy_Bob]

So that's the Trump cult official excuse for losing so badly. "WAAAAAA! THE WILDLY RIGHT-WING FOX NEWS MODERATOR WAS REALLY BIASED FOR THE DEMOCRAT!".

That's yet another reason why it's good be a Democrat. Winners don't have to whimper out butthurt excuses for losing that make them look craven and crazy.

Trump did a poor job of taking Chris Wallace's false left-wing talking-point questions and correcting the frame. That's on Trump. Debate 101 is correcting the frame.

Every question Chris Wallace asked should have been corrected by Trump.

Trump cannot expect anyone to correctly frame the issues. That's because only the jackasses get to moderate.

Of course Trump is going to be fighting with the moderator. All the moderators are going to incorrectly framed the issues toward the left wing talking points. He better get used to that and start dealing with the frame or he will continue to look unprepared and disjointed.

If trump had corrected the frame on every question The whole debate would have imploded on Wallace and Joe. That said, Its hard when your team is playing against the opposing team and the referee's who are wearing the same uniforms..

 

[Orangecat]

Wallace lost all credibility when treated the out-of-context "fine people on both sides" democrat spin as factual proof of Trump not condemning white supremacists.

I call BS on that. I'm tired of every bit of bad Trump behavior being excused as "just Trump".

How about oh..."it's just Biden being Biden"?

 

[Billy_Bob]

I think I saw Biden actually call Trump a "CLOWN".
Biden must not have any respect for the office which Trump holds.

Biden mumbled under his breath that Trump was a "stupid bastard" It was barley audible... Trump had him rattled and if he had just let Biden ramble on for a bit it would have been a massive implosion..

Really followed up on packing the court lol or how his son got rich and finally found work when his father was VP. Or why not ask him if he would condone pedophilia? When I follow up on will you condone Black Lives Matter Or antifa

Most of those weren't even part of the questions in the debate - why follow up on crap?

The court questions were the only relevant ones he did not directly answer.

Biden was being Biden... He was lying 99% of the time. The good thing is Independants are looking at the real time line on COVID and how it was handled by Biden and democrats... Biden talking points failed miserably on COVID..

I think Trump failed miserably on the Covid issue, but that was another one where it was difficult to get Biden's points because - imagine that - Trump wouldn't shut up.

If people want the office of the president to be treated with respect, they need to quit the "Trump is just being Trump" as if that releases him from all ordinary rules of conduct we mere mortals must follow.

HELLLOOOOO Biden said he would not shut down travel from China.. do you understand how many more lives would’ve been lost if Trump did not shut down travel from China.. you’re blatantly disregard actual facts you’re insane and I think your trollling .. democrats cannot win on Covid look at your shit hole cities and states look at the nursing homes.. democrats might be the worst party worse than the Nazis worse than the Stalin’s.. Democrats are a combination of communism socialism and worse than that they use propaganda like it’s never been used before

There is no BUT needed. I have already said I agreed that President Trump interrupted ( not that Former Vice President Biden didn't). I have also stated that leaning on the fact that there were interruptions like a crutch for doing a poor job of Moderating is a poor excuse. Now you want to cut Chris Wallace more slack, saying that time constraints "forced" him to "move on" ? REALLY? HE WAS THE MODERATOR. His one and only job that night was to maintain control and decorum, ask the questions, and get the participants to answer those questions for the American people so they could decide on a candidate to support. He failed, why do you feel compelled to make excuses for him? Why must the Left ALWAYS make excuses?

BWHAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa


Trump was following Fauci and Birx's advice... He closed it down before the virus could gain a major foot hold across our nation and only two regions were immediately affected. Had he waited like democrats wanted the whole nation would have been a bon fire...

As for treatments and therapeutics you guys were keeping successful ones from being used and you were all lying about the drugs....

Trump was outstanding in his COIVD response and many democrat mayors said so.. Now its election season and its not acceptable to be truthful....

But it's been that way my whole lifetime.
Makes me appreciate what Reagan was able to accomplish even more.

Oh I don't disagree with you on Wallace. I'm pointing out certain REALITIES of how debates are set up. They have get through a set number of topics in a set time frame. PART of the job of the moderator is to keep it MOVING. That's the ONLY part Wallace got right.

As for excuses, why does the right keep excusing Trump's behavior as "Trump being Trump"?

Biden was scripted! Which means he knew the questions..BIDEN KNEW THE QUESTIONS
