Fox Host CALLS OUT Trump On Air

Chris Wallace grilled Trump about his claims against the press. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.

"Fox News anchor Chris Wallace told President Trump that he is viewed as a 'beacon for repression around the world' because of his repeated attacks against the press.

Wallace made the statement to Trump while conducting a sit-down interview with the president that was aired on Sunday. In it, Wallace pressed Trump about his rhetoric in regard to the media, noting that most presidents haven't like the coverage of their administrations.

'No president has liked his press coverage ... Nobody called it the enemy of the American people,' Wallace said.

'The fake news is the enemy — it’s fake, it’s phony,' Trump replied, before claiming that he doesn't mind negative press coverage if he gets something wrong."

I like to think that Stephen Colbert dragged Wallace towards finding his spine. Wallace, please keep this up dude. Way to go.

saying two things at once is called double speak, and is a common authoritarian tactic

How can he say fake news when most of its on record in his own words. Stay off twitter and quit telling lies.

Chris Wallace is one of the last remaining conservative journalists with integrity

Vote Donald Trump OUT of office in 2020. The White House has been without a president long

Once upon a time the dunce cap was a cone with a big "D" on it. These days it's a baseball cap with MAGA on it.

It is refreshing to see not everyone on Fox is complete nuts.

Wallace did not call out Trump nearly enough. As soon as Trump said that he can only speak for himself, he should have pounced. And said, "You are the President of the United States of America. You DO NOT just speak for yourself. You speak for America, as was mentioned in the oath you took. Every word out of your mouth represents America, and if you were not prepared to face that reality you should never have run for the highest office in the land." THAT would be going after him.

Trump has lost his mind assuming he ever had one

2 things:
1) How is it fake news if they just show you talking?
2) Trump is the king of the phrase "people are saying".

Wallace and Smith are the closest thing to actual journalists at State TV

[SchmeeboDaBear]

The look on Chris Wallace's face during that incoherent ramble is priceless.

HERE'S THE BEST PART... The judge who ruled that the White House had to give Acosta back his press pass was appointed by.... Trump. Priceless

Haha. I love Cenk mimicking Trump. Hilarious! 😂😂😂👌🏽
