Don't count on Chris Wallace to fact check during the debate

I found this:

"However, after he was selected to moderate one of the 2016 presidential debates, Wallace said, “it’s not my job” to fact-check candidates. Wallace said that was the job of the opposing candidate."

From what I have read Chris Wallace had no relationship at all with his Dad until he was 14. He learned the business from his stepfather former CBS News President Bill Leonard.

And Wallace is no slouch - he has won three Emmy Awards and the Dupont-Columbia Silver Baton Award.

I think that what we are seeing is a function of the network he works for - we all know who needs the most fact checking.

...by facts in his entire life.

He wouldn't know a fact if it bit him in the ass, and thus he is completely and totally incompetent to check them.

It's absolutely absurd that Fox News gets free reign to join up with Trump to attack Clinton for 90 minutes.

Wikileaks, email, Wikileaks, server, innuendo, etc.
