CNN anchor Chris Wallace announced on Monday that he would leave the network at the end of his contract, citing the growing influence of podcasters such as Joe Rogan and Charlamagne tha God.
Wallace – who joined CNN in January 2022 after nearly 20 years at Fox News – told the Daily Beast he would leave the network at the end of his three-year contract in favor of independent broadcasting.
Describing podcasts and streaming platforms as “where the action seems to be,” Wallace pointed to Rogan and Charlamagne’s influence during the 2024 election, before adding, “I don’t flatter myself to think I will have that sort of reach.”

Wallace has a better chance to be seen by more people if he goes grocery shopping on a Saturday afternoon. Their ratings are terrible and I doubt many tune in just to catch what Wallace is fixated on for that show. He will do no better with a podcast or stream or any other method. Someone needs to tell him he is so yesterday. But good luck anyway. Frankly I don't know how cnn/msnbc can pay out the millions they do and stay on the air.

I don't think Mr. Rogan and Mr. Tha God have much to worry about.

It must be terrible to be often told that he was not as good as his father.

I suspect CNN wanted to cut his salary, due to their financial woes, and Chris wasn't having any of it.

Don't flatter yourself Chris, you don't have any reach. Go silently into the networks.

The six-million-dollar question is will anyone miss him?

Chris Wallace is 77 years old, and entitled to a nice retirement on his estimated $25 million net worth. I suspect that Wallace doesn't want to go down with the CNN ship as the Leftist organization fades away. If he wants to keep his hand in, he can find piece work as many older journalists do.
Hopefully, he will have lots of company on the retirement/unemployment line as Leftist media implodes. A bunch less Enemies of the American People is a good thing.

Wallace is pathetic. If Mike wasn’t his father, he would never have been in “news “ business.

One of these days, the rubes will realize what an absolute talent Wallace is.
Arrogant, condescending and useless.

Forty thousand headmen must have made him change his mind. Chris Wallace is no Mike Wallace.

Well, shoot! I thought he meant he was going to retire and disappear into well-deserved obscurity...and now I find out he's just going to blather somewhere else. Oh, well, I can ignore him there, too.

Maybe Chrissy and Donie Lemon can host a podcast together. They could call it Double Teaming! Yeah it might get a few viewers/listeners.

The problem with podcasting and streaming is that you can say anything without supporting it or proving it. Their is no accountability for running your mouth.

Well we know that Chris isn't smoking dope like his dad did, because he has a shred of truth in his statement that he won't be Joe Rogan. Even still he won't be much of anything. Go for it Chris, I'll wait to pile on soon shortly, after when you've come and gone in a record fashion.,

"Anchor" is the perfect title for Wallace.
