Fox News host Chris Wallace ripped former President Donald Trump in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter recently. Wallace said when he was covering the Trump administration there was a lot of misinformation coming from The White House.
“[The Trump White House] was every man and woman for themselves. When they went on the Sunday shows, they were appealing to an audience of one, because President Trump watched,” Wallace said. “So, when somebody went on, oftentimes there was a debate going on inside the administration, and they were trying to make their case more to the president, who was watching at home, than to the viewers.
Wallace, whose Fox News Sunday program turned 25 on Sunday, has been widely criticized by conservative viewers for some of his reporting when it comes to the way he covers the Republican party. Many point to the way he moderated one of the presidential debates last year.
“If you are a reporter covering the White House, there is nothing better than if there are tensions inside the White House, and they are arguing it out in the public,” said Wallace.
Wallace said he thinks the format is just as important as ever, even with consumers mostly getting their news through social media throughout the day.
“It’s still an important platform for a new administration, or any administration, and the opposition, to get their points out,” said Wallace.
