Wallace Walks

Chris Wallace calls it quits:

It appears that he doesn't have any specific plans just yet. "This is the first time in 55 years I‘ve been between jobs... I am actually excited and liberated by that," he said, adding "Not knowing is part of the challenge. I‘m waiting to see what comes over the transom. It might be something that I haven’t thought of at all." If anyone understands the ins and outs of the legacy media and where it stands today, it's Wallace. Across six decades, he's worked in some capacity for CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox News, and CNN, winning numerous awards, including a few Emmys, for his work. He's also the son of another media legend, the late Mike Wallace, who is best known for his work as a journalist on the TV show 60 Minutes. Rather than sit around and have a hissy fit about what's going on around him like many of his colleagues, he's making what sounds like a smart move. While this idea of "new media" has been on the rise for years, it has never been as prominent as it was during the 2024 presidential election. Many people have cited Elon Musk's X (a new, freer version of Twitter) and Trump's appearance on podcasts with Joe Rogan and Theo Von as reasons why the president-elect was able to reach so many new supporters. As Musk put it, "news should come from the people."

Unfortunately it doesn't...
