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

[Pete7469]

RED

For me - I wanted to see a pin-down on certain things. I give credit to Wallace for ATTEMPTING to pin down Biden, for example, on the Antifa violence (would he did or would call the mayors, ask them to act more strongly on the violence, but Biden wiggled out of that one).Easy to agree on that

I wanted to hear a better answer from Biden on the balance of economic needs and environmental concerns (I'm an environmentalist, but I understand you need to address both) - he failed big time on answering that. Believe it or not I'm very much concerned with the environment also. I think Trump could have done a better job addressing the corruption of the EPA, the horrific destruction and trashing of the border region by criminal human/drug traffickers' and The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. He did fail to specifically address MMGW and the hoax surrounding it, but he did address the issue of the economic impact of the "Green New Deal". That still leaves out the impact on our standard of living. Will the government be able to control my thermostat? Can they dictate how much fuel I use? Can they force me to buy shit I can't afford like LED Bulbs? (Which are actually cheaper now than regular ones but 4 years ago that was not the case.)

Frankly, if Trump had shut up and allowed Wallace to ask the questions he was trying to ask - and he was asking some tough questions on Biden - we might have been able to see Biden pinned down a bit. I will agree that Trump took the gloves off very quickly and made it a contest between himself and Wallace/Biden. He did comment early that he thought he was debating Biden, but Wallace was taking his place. On that basis it was difficult to listen to at times because Trump came off as very undisciplined, but the level of soft steaming bullshit that was coming from Biden was intolerable as well.

Disappointments:
Trump's "stand down and stand by" - very bad. Agree... He should have told them racial animosity feeds the leftist agenda
Biden's waffling on condemning Antifa. Agree
Lack of detail and often direct answers from both. Always an issue, in every debate I've ever paid attention too.
Inability of Biden to be heard over Trump's verbal shitstorm. I was sick of Biden's bullshit so sometimes I appreciated it. I was also disappointed when Trump didn't make some slam dunks on the shit Biden was regurgitating though. I do agree Trump went over the top a lot of the time and could have shut Biden down with a few words rather than a 30 second rant.
Most of all - Wallace's inability to come down hard and control the debate. Wallace was the biggest loser, the problem is that he should have not been competing.

Strong points....
Bad - Trump's attack on Hunter Biden's drug addiction. Disagree, it was a very valid point. Hunter got an easy pass into the Navy and didn't have the integrity to deal with his demons immediately.
Good - Biden's response to that. Agree, Biden humanized his son and I actually felt some empathy towards his response, but at the same time as a veteran I expect a much higher standard of those in the Commissioned Officer Corps. Especially if they're "politically privileged". Remember all the hysteria over the unsubstantiated accusations against GW Bush and his cocaine use?

Overall - if you heard it on the radio you missed all their facial expressions. I got more out of that than anything they said! You know something, THAT'S THE PROBLEM. If people were listening rather that watching the theatrical bullshit they might be better informed.

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..

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"?

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.

".....difficult to get Biden's points because" another "but" excuse. It was difficult to get "Biden's point" because his handlers didn't spoon feed him those answers during debate prep ( or his earpiece stopped working) , not to mention he has no points because all he does is LIE!

Oh brother. When you have to resort to unsubstantiated claims, you've lost the argument.

 

[Billy_Bob]

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

Biden was totally scripted... Everything he recited was memorized script...

 

[Meister]

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.

You do know that I disagree with you, Care. I want you to know that.
There have been many more smooth talking presidents, including the last one who has
disrespected the presidential office far more than Trump has.

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.

BJ -
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.

Exactly it wasn't as much Biden evading questions, it was trump wouldn't stop interrupting him and letting him talk.

I was disappointed when Biden tried to talk about a public option. trump just yelled over him about socialism and Obamacare was bad.

That was the worst part. trump purposely didn't allow a civilized debate so that those who wanted to actually hear what Biden had to say, weren't able to.

Why was trump so afraid to let America hear what Biden had to say?

Personally, I saw a unhinged, scared and very angry man on that stage last night and it was our own president. I keep shaking my head in disgust and thinking I have never seen such behavior in a president yet know his behavior is only going to get worse.

trump has turned America, our democratic republic and our elective system into nothing but a huge joke and insult on all civilized people.

"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.

Agree, BUT, he should not have ALLOWED those interruptions PERIOD. And there were time limits for each segment, so they had to move on.

"Agree, BUT, he should not have ALLOWED those interruptions PERIOD."

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?

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"?

Behavior? What? Did the American people vote in an election to send someone to Finishing School to learn proper etiquette? NO. They elected someone to be President of the United States. To defend the Constitution and look out for America's and Americans' best interest....and that is EXACTLY what he has done. If your biggest concern is whether or not the President knows which fork to use for the salad....YOU probably shouldn't be voting.

They supposedly voted for a president.

They got a boorish clown who's main motivation is self interest and enrichment.

Surely that has little to do with table top etiquette, but if your aim is to degrade the office, then well done. You've accomplished a lot in 4 years with that alone.

You know, for a bed wetter that is always pissing and moaning about " ad hominem " attacks you sure do like to use them yourself. In the spirit of a true fascist piece of shit you can't actually defend your own side with facts so you cherry pick agitprop just like Goebbels taught you.

I don't believe Biden has no respect for the office, I agree he has no respect for The President. Neither do I nor do millions of American voters. Last night Trump was a clown, not a funny one but one more akin to the clown in Stephen King's book, IT

 

[Desperado]

Fox employs at least two democratic shills Donna Brazile and Chris Wallace being the most notable. Would not be surprised to learn Wallace gave Biden advance notice of the debate questions

 

[Rye Catcher]

But moderation should be required to maintain some order.

Why? Wallace did nothing last night to maintain order. All he did was interfere on Biden's behalf.

Let the candidates moderate themselves.

It's very simple. Wallace should have killed Trump's microphone. No moderator will go into a future debate with Trump without a kill switch for his mic. If Trump is going to behave like an angry child, he needs to be disciplined like one.

That you think that the moderator was the problem, you must think that Trump has no obligation to abide by the rules or behave himself. As always, Trump should be able to do whatever he wants, and fuck you.

The Problem is, trump believes he is above the rules; he is a person who suffers delusions of his own power and importance, something which became manifest with the death of this father; but had simmered within him from birth.

The issue is not and should not be about the Wallace. Trump knew and agreed to the rules, or at least his handlers (so to speak) agreed to the rules. The takeaway is trump failed to follow the rules, something he had done in business and on steroids as President.

IMO, and I watched every minute of the brawl, Trump tried to bully Biden, and Biden stepped up to the bully. Biden remained civil, up until the near end when Trump went way off base to attack his son. However, Biden quickly recovered civility and spoke not to wallace nor to trump but to the millions of those watching on TV; Biden said, it is not about Trump's family or my family, it is about "your family".

 

[Rye Catcher]

I see you've joined the circle jerk, the BIG LIE that Biden suffers from Dementia. Those who watched the event, saw the real persona of Donald Trump, a lying bully. Biden stuttered a bit when trump talked over Biden's time; something most people would experience when a loudmouth bully is screaming at them; a break in their thinking can occur.
