It was always Chris Wallace’s job to protect the DC interests by tamping down any sunlight upon corrupt UniParty politics. That’s the reason why CTH called Wallace the deep swamp ‘gatekeeper‘ for a decade.
Wallace, the top player amid many such players at Fox News, was always a narrative platform provider to distribute media points that supported the institutional administrative state in DC. However, thanks to the rise of pragmatic conservatism, a movement created by Donald Trump and commonly identified as MAGA, in recent years more people have caught on to how this insufferable media game is played.
Chris Wallace was increasingly becoming naked to his audience, and as a direct outcome, increasingly useless for propaganda distribution. Today, the functionally obsolescent gatekeeper announced, effective immediately, he was leaving Fox News. Moments later, CNN announced Chris Wallace was joining them. In essence, Wallace moves from controlled opposition to direct opposition. WATCH:
The CNN welcome announcement is AVAILABLE HERE.
Wallace was not the first departure. The increased public awareness of the manipulative construct that is Fox News (writ large) is the same reason why Steve Hayes and Jonah Goldberg were released. That is also the same motive for Fox hiring Dan Bongino.
Although it is yet to be announced, the Fox News contracts for Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham also will not be renewed after their current terms expire. With more people finding more places where genuine source material facts are cited with sunlight, the ability for controlled opposition pundits to thrive is demonstrably lessened.
Traditional cable news is modifying itself accordingly with subscription based services.
If you want to avoid uncomfortable truth, if you want to be fed propaganda, if you want to get talking points just to support your skewed and ideologically flawed world view, and if you want to avoid confronting your own preconceptions, the subscriber services from both Fox News and CNN will now provide the direct injection of propaganda and misinformation you need to retain the status quo. This is the new business model for cable news platforms.
An entirely new media infrastructure has assembled outside the influence of corporations. Understanding current events, real news and information based on fact, is no longer dependent on corporations. Independent researchers and information providers are giving the raw material citations directly to audiences on a variety of platforms.
In the bigger picture, these are the consequences from identifying “fake news” publicly, and yes, we can thank Donald J. Trump for that. This is the biggest gift that Donald Trump created outside of his America First political agenda. Donald J. Trump was/is a walking red pill; a “touchstone”: a visible, empirical test or criterion for determining the quality or genuineness of anything political.
Without Trump, the business models of CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and the alphabet broadcasters would never have collapsed as quickly. He alone accomplished that.

CNN all but outright says the reason for sudden Chris Wallace exit was Tucker Carlson. Sure. Whatever. I’m thinking maybe it’s just been a really bad weak for men named Chris.
https://therightscoop.com/cnn-all-but-outright-says-that-the-reason-for-sudden-chris-wallace-exit-was-tucker-carlson/
How many people left CNN because of their fake news coverage of the Russia Hoax, “Mostly Peaceful Protests,” or Jussie Smollett’s self-hate crime?
ZERO. Think about that.
I think the general principle of which you speak – personal and professional integrity – has become rare to find anymore. We’re living in an age when the truth no longer matters. I consider the legacy media to be part of mob rule, except they wear nice clothes and sit behind desks.
The truth does matter. Just not for swamp critters and their “journalist” enablers.
Very true.
The Left always blames someone else for whatever….so Chris Wallace departure is on Tucker Carlson….Oh’ thank you Tucker!
I think CNN lies all the time.
If they leaked it, then they want you to believe it.
T C is controlled opposition just like all the rest of the conservative types on FNC.
The FNC pundits who stood up to the Election 2020 fraud were fired!
We can thank Sundance for undermining the broadcast RINOs credibility. He did some genuinely heavy lifting during the last election. When he explained the “splitter strategy” whereby ‘ole Jeb! was supposed to be the stealth UniParty candidate who was going to suddenly come from behind to claim the presidency, he showed the rest of us just how shaky the UniParty’s house-of-cards actually was.
Once we understood what was actually going on it became increasingly difficult for guys like Karl Rove to BS us with his “strategic” propaganda. Then, over time, we saw a whole crew of RINO apologists lose their credibility because their ideas were now obsolete. Thanks to Sundance, suddenly those guys were revealed as answering questions nobody asked. Wallace is just the latest of the remaining few that have no real purpose in conservative broadcasting.
The conservative audience is now MAGA—the RINO “moderates” have been revealed to be more imaginary than real. Good riddance.
So true! It’s easy to forget the things we now take for granted, the awareness we have, the way our eyes have been opened.
I had forgotten how much fun Sundance and all of us Treepers had with that Jeopardy game show style set up where Sundance would put a great big red X over the latest Republican poser to fall out of the primary race.
I think it really annoyed the smug, full of themselves candidate who took themselves so seriously to be mocked by The Treehouse as if they were a lowly game show.
These guys and gals always want us peasants to fawn all over them as if they were our one and only savior from want, need and pestilance.
So when Sundance turned their pretentious endeavors of trying to win the Republican primary and made them look like goofs, they did not take it well at all.
That was great fun, that was.
Exactly! SD has done as much as anyone to expose the Fake news’ tactics and shenanigans. President Trump provided the “bait” and they all bit hard – hook, line and sinker. In the process of the anti-Trump cabal taking the bait, Sundance has astutely observed this domestic Anti American mob – Democrats, RINOs and their propaganda arm the fake news – employ their tactics repeatedly. SD has so adroitly described it so frequently that now we cannot un-see their 24/7 fakery.
Almost immediately after the election in 2020, I quit watching Fox–however, I still indulge by watching Tucker’s show. But I do NOT watch anything else on Fox.
I don’t know the actual numbers, but it would seem that Tucker is Fox’s bell cow about now–the rainmaker. If the Fox execs should muzzle him, or worse, cancel him, Fox might find itself in the ratings cellar with CNN.
Question: Would this be considered a lateral move or a step down? Inquiring minds want to know.
Joining the cable network would be a demotion. CNN gets far more traffic on its website than the cable channel.
A step down … Conservatives didn’t watch Wallace on FOX … and RATS won’t watch him on CNN.
Is that Chuck Grassley on the far right? I though Trump and he did a great job on the economy – is he on the outs too? I also thought Trump endorsed Grassley for re-election recently and said he’s a great patriot.
I don’t think it struck me that Grassley was in that pic, but good Lord, I dare not scroll up to look at it again (see Sharon’s comment below!). But I don’t think I recognized that person. Hmm. A mystery loser photo bomb!
No, that’s Rupert Murdock, the founder of Fox.
Thanks for the clarification!
Oops, sorry Sarah Lee, I meant for my comment to follow under Sharon who posted below. Oh, well any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
The one on the far right is most likely a caricature of Rupert Murdoch.
Unfortunately, Trump has endorsed the RINO Grassley for re-election in 2022.
Thanks!
the Left will never accept Chris Wallace…
Sssshhhhhh. Don’t tell Chris that. He really really really wants to be part of their club.
that second-from-bottom frame illustrating once again how hard it can be to unsee something, and if I put bleach in my eyes I think it’ll hurt
No kidding. Go look at something beautiful right now and maybe put on a lovely piece of music to strengthen the andidote!
Good advice Sarah L.
Ladies might try getting up and going into the kitchen for a sip of something strong.
Maybe going outside for a few seconds if the weather is not too bad.
Anything to clear our heads.
Sheesh Sundance I do not think that you understand how that disgusting underpants picture can really ruin a ladies day.
Picture Pelosi or Lori Lightfoot or Stacey Abrams in dingy, ill fitting underwear and you might get it.
Have some compassion for your female Treepers here.
.
Just be glad Mitch was in boxers . . .
Look at your avatar for 60 seconds. That will take the sting out. 😉
Hahaha! I actually looked at her Avatar to return to some kind of homeostasis! This helps, too:
Would add that in addition to thanking President Donald J. Trump, a Huge thanks must also go to Sundance, the Conservative Tree House and all those sites that followed Sundance’s lead in boldly speaking truth, sharing links that people could do their own verification, for being that free press our Founders envisioned.
Yeah, this is definitely in the Win column!
Who will replace him? How about….Mark Steyn or Lou Dobbs?
We can dream, can’t we? I vote for either of those fine men. How amazing would that be, but never gonna happen.
Let’s reserve Steyn and Dobbs for the Trump Media Network.
Mark Steyn only works like half the year, then he travels to mysterious places anonymously and doesn’t talk about it.
He’s one of the reasons I quit watching Fox.
Gonna take a lot more than him leaving for me to tune them in again.
“…direct opposition…”
Pond scum I won’t watch.
Thank you Treehouse for contributing to the light that has illuminated this deception.
Swap silver spoon Cuomo for spoon Wallace, this anchor ⚓ will sink the ship call CNN, new call letters PEW
Chris Wallace will soon enjoy ratings like he’s never seen before.
All from airports….
Chris Wallace is jumping onto a sinking ship.
Hey, when the ship is sinking, grab the anchor, lol
Great picture. Christeen Walnuts has always been a leftist hack.. Since PDT he’s had a harder time hiding his leftist agenda. Don’t see any great loss with Hannity and Laura leaving either, if that happens. I stopped FOX news 11/2020 when they intentionally lied about Arizona. Walnuts will fit right in a CNN since very few people watch their trash anyway. It might be interesting to see which other conservatives FOX attempts to bring on. Bongino was not a surprise.
I think the key will NOT be WHO Faux brings in, but the detailsvof the CONTRACT, and how they implement it.
If they retain authority over content, and have producers dictating through their earpiece, what to say, and NOT say, what ?’s to ask and not ask,…and if they can “bench” the talking head, (as we saw several times) than it matters not at all, WHO they bring in.
This is just more hubris, and the equivilent of the geniuses that rolles out “New Coke” to decide they needed to redesign the label, that THATS why nobody was buying the product instead of admitting it tasted like urine in a can.
They still cling to the foundational belief the American people are idiots, and that THEY, the annoited ones, can tell people what to think.
Indeed. I remember the first time I heard that perfect expression “the annointed ones” listening to Thomas Sowell. It sums it up perfectly. Hadn’t heard new Coke – urine in a can before, but yeah, that pretty much sums that situation up quite nicely as well, even if tinged w/tmi.
That’s Myron Wallik’s son!
Move over Cuomo, here comes Chrissy.
Maybe CNN thinks if they keep the same first name, viewers won’t notice. Wonder when we’ll see a video of Wallace lifting mega weights at the gym.
A haha sweet! I love it when all the cockroaches are in the same nest. F you Wallace. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
“God, I LOVE the smell of Shedenfrude in the morning,….it smells like,..VICTORY!”
Smarmy man. Bye.
His ratings collapsed, so he is going to a network with an even greater ratings collapse and is offering a subscription service that will charge $$ for his propaganda that was losing viewers who could watch for free….
Brilliant….
I would pay to never hear the putrid vomitus gushing from his pie hole.
.
What is his alma mater? Surely they will be persuaded to mandate a subscription be included (bought) as part of their fees for each new student . . .
At last he goes to where he belongs.
Good riddance and don’t let the door hit him on his backside where his brain resides!
Chris Wallace belongs with CNN BUT he will not save this putrid sucking lying imbecilic TV station. Thanks God we will not hear his idiotic remarks on FoxNews again.
It’s the first time in history that a rat has left a sinking ship to hop aboard one that is nearly under water.
Fox News is taking on water and listing heavily to port (left).
CNN has completely capsized with only the keel showing.
I hope you know how to swim, Chris. Nobody is coming to your rescue, though a few may want to throw you an anchor.
You really think or know Hannity and Ingram will not be renewed? When are their contracts up and who would replace them? I can no longer listen to Hannity he just talks about himself and interrupts people all the time.
Believe I got off the Hannity bandwagon around the time of Obama.
When the water drains from one scum hole to another, just keep pulling plugs. Before long the scum will dry up and blow away in the cleansing wind that follows. He certainly can fill the tiny little shoes that just left.
Any recommendations for any unbiased news sources (if there are any left)? I stopped watching FOX after the Arizona BS during the Election…… I briefly went over to NewsMax until a few of their anchors started spewing leftist garbage (I do still love Greg Kelly)…. any recommendations?
There is no unbiased “news” source. Trust no one, verify everything. If you don’t witness it, don’t believe it…..If it is widely reported, it is probably not true.
OANN is pretty good.
.
They seem to have some good people, but their daytime format is boring. If they want to really compete, they need to have an infusion of cash
TV? Don’t use it. CTH, Epoch Times, American Thinker, Citizen Free Press, Market Ticker, Lew Rockwell, Bayou Renaissance Man, Vox Day, American Free News Network, American Greatness and Ammo Seek (other hobbies) for a short Ten list.
And Gates of Vienna
Real America’s Voice. But unbiased they are not. They are MAGA as best I can find. Bannon and his Band of Merry Pranksters are giving the left fits.
John Frederick’s too!!
OANN is pretty good. I watch it instead of FOX ,but really Sundance and the Treehouse are what I rely on for the true story.
Greg Kelly is good entertainment.
Epoch TV

THIS is President Trumps greatest accomplishment! Without him so many people would still be hypnotized by the tube. Yes, too many still are but the momentum is in our favor. Styxhexenhammer666 is a youtube creator who constantly talks about this and other creators getting on every alt-tech site that they can. Styx is more for a younger crowd and can be vulgar at times, but he has some good insights. If you can deal with some of that he can be interesting. Youtube censors his vids now so he can be found on bitchute, rumble, etc. Other than styx I like vincent james (the red elephants) who had been banned everywhere. Vincent James a little more hard hitting. Point is, we do not need these corporations anymore! The internet is the people’s town square now and that is why they are trying so hard to censor. The last battlefield in the information war.
Don’t get me started on Bongino. He made a lot of money off of MAGA and has that tough guy persona that people love but he is not truly MAGA.
in what ways is he not MAGA?
It’s the most honest thing ‘The Gatekeeper’ has ever done… Hooking on with his fellow travelers…
Of all DJT’s Superpowers, making everyone show their cards, face up, on the table is his most impressive.
… exactly!
Thanks but, I don’t need to watch this PoS to cheer the move to the team he bats for and always has. He is a lousy liar and a horrible host.
Good Riddance to both FNC & CNN. Bye, Bye.
A fitting transition for Wallace from the swamp into the sewer…….
To describe one network is to describe all. OANN is the only network left that reports v covers-up the news. Fox has died a slow and painful death. Few will mourn its passing.
“Donald J. Trump was/is a walking red pill; a “touchstone”: a visible, empirical test or criterion for determining the quality or genuineness of anything political.” – Sundance! Amen! What a wordsmith and what a privilege to read his take on the ongoing efforts of the Fouth Branch supporters to destroy the Constitution and country!
Once Trumps “Truth Social” come on the scene it will destroy Fake News. Truth Social will be the dominating media bullhorn. Most people prefer standing still to hear the truth than walking a mile to hear a lie.
The 20% will no longer control the 80% in the manner they have in the past 50-years. My conversation with a Libtard will go something as this, “Oh, I see you are still walking a mile to hear a lie”?
PDJT predicted accurately, that the lamestream media’s outlets would ALL collapse, once they “no longer had ‘Trump’ to kick around, any more” although he didn’t say it that way,..
They can shuffle the deck of their talking heads, all they want.
They can announce new CEO’S, who promise to take the network back to “straight news reporting” as well.
DOESN’T MATTER. TDS caused ALL to take off their masks, and show their true natures, as they gleeful shredded their credibility (in an attempt to “Get Trump”) with no concern for the long term consequence of destroying TRUST.
Of what use is “news” media, if the public loses trust?
Or Politicians, or Govt buerocrats, Political parties, etc.
Its foundational to ANY relationship, that there be mutual TRUST, otherwise their is no basis FOR a relationship.
In the end, THIS may be the biggest strategic blunder those who, collectively are “the enemy” have committed.
Because once lost, Trust is VERY DIFFICULT to reestablish. And, without credibility, they have no POWER to influence public opinion, hence greatly decreased POWER to influence Public Policy.
And THATS what its all about. In their Hubris, THEY did this to themselves, PDJT just evoked this reaction, he set the trap, so to speak.
But it was THEY who, willfully, gleefully stepped in it.
Hoping to see Brett Baier gone soon.
Geeze! Thanks for the reminder! We forgot about that one! Mr fair and balanced!
FOX must get us back watching so they can control 2022 election. RINOs want to stay in power and they need us falling for it.
They can’t control us(well not us here, but the sheep) if we are not watching them.
They will make RINOs look good, say what we want to hear, and scare the sheep into voting for them.
So they must reorg. Get “their” viewers back.
I’m not going back. I’m not paying for cable.
I get more news here from Sundance and commenters than any other place.
Hahaha! Too late. But…If FOX really wanted to rescue themselves from the swirling toilet bowl, the only thing that can save them is the man who destroyed them. Give President Trump a 1 hour show every night and their ratings will go through the roof. I bet he’d do it for free.
Good thought, Mike.
Instead of recreating Fox credibility, would President Trump be more apt to “take the money” by creating his own competing network … donating his time to his own 1-hour nightly show?
Ironically, the all out assault on the Trump Presidency by the media shortened their life span. Had they respected the elected POTUS, the ramp up of alternative media would have taken longer. Instead, their tactics of censorship have red pilled millions that the tech giants are too big and alternatives are an imperative to defeating constant gaslighting.
That is the reality of corporate MSM.
On the other hand the Wallaces’ of this world are better described by this definition.

So, kudos CNN you scored the prefect Cuomo replacement.
The old sheep suit may even fit him.
However, what remains of Cuomo’s market in viewership will quickly see the pipsqueak in the wolf suit wearing the sheep suit.
CNN, is the pedophile’s news network.
Chris is so deep in the Swamp he has The Turtle’s smile.
Chris Wallace was actually CNN’s second choice for the position. Joseph Goebbels was their first choice, but then someone told them he was dead.
CNN is government work, it’s great if you can get it. Chrissy can tell all his lies to the low info voter audience at CNN and they’ll eat it up.
As the rats are abandoning the sinking Titanic, the journalist that is so full of himself has climbed onboard and thinks he can save the ship. This not funny ha ha but funny peculiar.
Cannot *unsee* that picture… LOLOLOL :):)
A number of independent YouTubers have been predicting the demise of the legacy media for years.
All I say is that my teenage kids and all of their friends don’t receive any info from these sources. The median age of the viewers of these shows is now in the 60s.
Accelerating their demise was the red-pilling of half the country. Trust is gone.
These media outlets have no future.
Interesting comment Eric.
We cut the cord 15 years ago and have not watched FOX or any other msm since.
My elderly parent’s who were in their late 80s and early 90s when they passed away were glued to the TV via DISH and just could not give up their 150 channels even though they only watched around 4 or 5 regularly.
They also still read two news papers a day, a morning and then the evening news that my Dad had to drive to the local quicki market to purchase every day it was a real hard habit for them to break.
But non of my 5 kids and their spouses nor do my brother’s kids watch any satellite or cable TV, it is all streaming, all podcast stuff.
None of of 5 kids have any kind of cable or satellite all they watch is streamed or DVD they own or rent.
So who knows where FOX is going, it looks like they are setting up their own pay per view stuff but it is just more of the same ol same ol and the kids are wise to that and they think it is for us old fogies.
These giant msm corporations are going to have a hard time of things, their demise is indeed accelerating for many reasons.
Please, pretty please, Chris, don’t let the door bump your popo.
It is very doubtful we would have been subjected to this no-class individual had not is daddy been a CIA shill.
Interesting that Fox didn’t have a non-compete clause in Mr. Wallace’s contract; seems that when Fox got rid of all their previous on-air personnel they had to deal with a non-compete issue, whether they quit on their own or were fired.
Fox thinks they can actually save themselves from their demise but dumping people.
We. Will. Never. Forget. AZ.
CNN is sinking like a lead balloon. Fox’s days are numbered too. They are all going down, down, down in due time.
We. Will. Never. Forget. AZ.
… indeed! NOPE!
Scientific fact: flies land on crap. And eat it.
“An entirely new media infrastructure has assembled outside the influence of corporations. Understanding current events, real news and information based on fact, is no longer dependent on corporations. Independent researchers and information providers are giving the raw material citations directly to audiences on a variety of platforms.”
You can bet that those pictured in their underwear and their globalist partners are working to shut it down.
This leftist should have been gone a long time ago.
i listen to talk radio a lot in the car. the local radio news is dominated by Fox sources and spews the same other than fact based “news” that CNN does. does anyone here still consider Fox News to be conservative?
Not me
I don’t consider Faux even news.
Faux News. 😛
Switch to Bannon podcasts: Free, powerful and empowering.
“Does anyone here still consider Fox News to be conservative?”
Generally speaking, yes,
The Conservat wants to preserve traditional social institutions. …
FOX news is for property rights, law and order, better schools and getting boys out of girls locker rooms and sports …
all conservative values.
I watch it for what’s on it , it’s called current events..
I said FOX news should fire Wallce on this website .
I’m glad they took my advice.
“ the local radio news is dominated by Fox sources “
YES, YES..
They use clips from Biden and his handlers to show what liars the White House is.
I’m driving and listening , I have missed my turn more than once.
Biden’s cheese has slid off his cracker.
According to FOX news.
I can confirm that.
Looks like the parasite is returning to his true host.
Hopefully Bret (Cabbage Patch Kid ) Baier is next.
