Last few years I find him overrated.

Well bye!

Fox News has become unwatchable
It has devolved into a full time  MAGA broadcast

And Brian Williams just left NBC...
With an Interesting farewell

I'm surprised that he left the highest rated cable news network for the least. I'm sure they had to have offered him something substantial.  

CNNs credibility is already shot. I don't see the upside for Wallace.

Money.

Wallace has always been the 'token' liberal on Fox, so I'm not surprised at all that he finally left to join his like-minded liberal colleagues at CNN.
I don't really care because I don't listen to him anyway.

Same for Brian Williams.
He has ZERO credibility after his fake story about being in a helicopter that was shot down in Iraq.
Puleeeeeze, bitch.
Trying to include yourself with REAL American heroes makes you just as bad as those Stolen Valor assholes who claim they served when they really didn't.
Once again, I could care less what he does because I don't listen to his bullshit anyway.

Yeah, remember all the Brian Williams memes from a few years ago.  

There I was, just me and my M16 in the choppa'  LOL

My Aunt is a pretty liberal Democrat. She's not quite to that nutso progressive stage, but not far to the right of it.    She thinks that Wallace is a mouth piece for the right.

That just goes to show that in todays political environment there is no place for a nonpartisan journalist. You either tow the line for one side or the other, or get shit on by both.

There have been rumblings of discontent between the real news division of Fox and the Editorial division for quite a long time. There has already been a few people walk away in protest recently.

From what I've seen (small sample size and all) Chris Wallace is a real journalist with some honest journalistic integrity. It's pretty easy to understand how a person who wants to be an honest journalist would be uncomfortable there.  I'd say he was a little right of center but he didn't just make chit up like the editorial people at Faux news do.

Fox is the highest rated channel as far as viewership goes for sure. I doubt Wallace's show was up there very high though. Honest journalism is NOT what people who love Faux news are there for so I'm sure the majority of Fox viewers regard him as a liberal or RINO.

We have a local Fox affiliate that is having the same issue right now. Almost all of their real journalists started leaving because they felt like they were being forced to report in a way that favored one side over the other.  Some of them went independent, some just left for stations in other areas.

It's pretty sad to see what our so called news has turned in to. A bunch of editorialists pretending to be journalists.

I've read articles stating that a lot of people at Fox have a real problem with Tucker Carlson.
Most of what Tucker does is spot on, but it is NOT a news broadcast.

I don't see that at all. But I only watch a highlight here and there on YouTube,never any full broadcasts.
At least they still expose the leftist lies when they see em.
