(CHRIS WALLACE IS A 'TARDO, BUT A FAIR 'TARDO)
Chris Wallace sounded a little bit wistful, and a little bit wry.
“I’m disappointed,” he said by telephone on Thursday. “There would have been a certain man-bites-dog quality to it: the Democrats showing up on Fox.”
But Mr. Wallace, the “Fox News Sunday” moderator, had to put aside his hope for a Fox News-sponsored Democratic primary debate on Wednesday, when Democratic officials rejected the idea in an unusually sharp rebuke.
“To be banned, or boycotted, for the 12 debates over the next year, is kind of stunning,” he said in his first extended comments on the matter. “There are a lot of voters that a Democrat is going to need to get elected president who watch Fox News. People in the Rust Belt states, the rural areas that Hillary Clinton lost. They would have been able to see the Democratic candidates make their arguments about why they’re better able to represent their interests.”
The Democratic chairman, Tom Perez, attributed his rejection of Fox News in part to an article published by The New Yorker that, he wrote, chronicled “the inappropriate relationship between President Trump, his administration and Fox News.”
