    Chris Wallace called out for liberal bias — eight months ago.

    https://www.pacificpundit.com/2020/01/27/chris-wallace-meltdown-gets-destroyed-by-katie-pavlich/

    Fine, you win: Chris Wallace is the second coming of Candy Crowley. So what? As mentioned above: HE. IS. NOT. ON. THE. BALLOT. I thought that was stunningly obvious, but apparently not.

    I concede: – the POTUS really crushed Chris Wallace in the debate! Wallace has ZERO shot at the White House now. Woo hoo!

    But that part where the President mocked his other debate opponent Joe Biden for wearing a mask and then wound up in the hospital three days later? Not so good…

    Wow. Smart*ss does not look good on you.

    Civil debate. Followed by the insulting of paid members.

    Hm.

    I insulted no one. I conceded the point: Chris Wallace is a Liberal and Trump crushed him. Someone still needs to explain to me the value of that in a debate with Joe Biden. I’ll hang up and listen.

    It is amusing when fans of the President –who has a demeaning nickname for everyone– are so easily offended and/or insulted. What’s that about?

    @blueyeti — You had written, “Chris Wallace has been moderating Presidential debates for decades. I cannot remember anyone complaining about his alleged Liberal bias until this week. Wonder why.”

    I refuted this by giving you an example of people complaining about Wallace’s so-described “tongue bath” of Pete Buttigieg in January, 2020.

    Rather than admit you were wrong, you changed the subject.

    BTW, here’s another one, this time from January, 2017:

    “True to his liberal roots, what [Chris] Wallace did was conflate two different issues and thus come up with a question that was based on a false premise, to wit: Because Julian Assange has illegally hacked into U.S government computers, nothing he says should be believed.” https://robertringer.com/tap/chris-wallace-shows-his-liberal-fangs/

    One possible @blueyeti response”  “Robert Ringer?  Who is that, and who cares?”

    Good to know that if I’m not here, someone will  answer for me.

    No he hasn’t. He has moderated exactly 2 presidential debates, the first being in 2016.

    The ONLY moderator who can be said to have moderated “Presidential Debates for Decades” is Jim Lehrer. Unfortunately 2020 claimed him early and he wasn’t available.

    Fair. He has been doing Presidential primary debates for years. I can remember attending one in (I think) 1987 or early ’88 in New Hampshire when I was in college nearby.

    Robert Ringer is the best-selling libertarian author of Winning Through Intimidation and Restoring the American Dream.  

    More to the point, he is one of those people who @blueyeti claimed did not exist, who  were describing Chris Wallace as a liberal earlier than this week, indeed, several years earlier.

    Also earlier than this week, February 2019 in fact, are dozens of people here:
