Chris Wallace to Leave CNN

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/12/2024 12:18:11 AM

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.

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.

LA Times owner to overhaul ‘very left’
editorial board, gives paradoxical reason

The billionaire owner of the Los Angeles Times gave a bizarre defense for his plans to overhaul the “very left” editorial board after he blocked it from endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong said Harris’ support for Israel’s military actions in Gaza was one of the main reasons he refused to endorse the Democrat and said he wants to hire more conservative voices — an odd view considering that the majority of conservatives back the Jewish state’s war against Hamas terrorists. Nevertheless, Soon-Shiong insisted he was seeking a better “balance” after vowing to replace the remaining members of the editorial board who did not quit

When doing a rundown of what his model did and did not show in the weeks before the election, Nate Silver made an observation that deserves to be noticed. In a piece about the virtues and vices of his model--it didn't PREDICT the outcome, but the most frequent outcome it spit out turned out to be the final result--Silver inserted what he called a "mini-rant" about the reaction he got from Democrats and Republicans to his ongoing analyses. It struck him that Republicans and Democrats took a very different approach to reading and reacting to his newsletters: Even though our forecast was near 50/50 for almost the whole race,

Republicans have secured a majority in the US House of Representatives, extending their hold on the lower chamber and delivering a governing trifecta in Washington that could give Donald Trump sweeping power to enact his legislative agenda. The Associated Press determined on Wednesday evening that Republicans had won at least 218 seats in the 435-member House after a victory in Arizona, a call that came more than a week after polls closed across the US. The call ensures Republicans will continue to have a large say in key matters such as government funding, debt ceiling negotiations and foreign aid, and it spells an end to Democrats’ hopes that the lower chamber

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., was selected to lead the Republican Conference again during a closed-door vote on Wednesday. The vote was unanimous, two sources in the room told Fox News Digital, despite conservatives threatening to protest Johnson getting full support. The internal election was delayed by roughly an hour and a half as Johnson met with his GOP critics to "hash it out," two other sources told Fox News. It comes after President-elect Trump addressed House Republicans earlier in the day and said he was "100%" behind Johnson, multiple sources in the room told Fox News Digital.

Oil giant Shell wins appeal against landmark
Dutch climate ruling to slash emissions

A Dutch court on Tuesday dismissed a landmark climate ruling against Shell, after the oil giant was ordered to drastically reduce its global carbon emissions back in 2021. The outcome, which comes during the opening days of the COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan, marks the latest twist in a precedent-setting case that could have far-reaching implications for the future of climate litigation. The appeals court in The Hague said that while Shell is required to reduce its carbon emissions, it could not determine the extent of these cuts. The case against Shell, therefore, was dismissed entirely.

As a normal American, Jennings often seemed out of place on CNN, mostly because he wasn't afraid to criticize Democrats but also because of his insightful commentary and because he never lost his cool—or his sense of humor—when his remarks were inevitably met with incredulous screeching.
