Was Jan. 6 an insurrection? \u2014 I found that unsustainable. I spent a lot of 2021 looking to see if there was a different place for me to do my job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wallace also told the NYT that he had complained to network executives about programming like then colleague Tucker Carlson\u2019s \u201cPatriot Purge,\u201d which he believed only encouraged those who had been caught up in false narratives about the 2020 election being \u201cstolen\u201d from former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore, I found it was an environment in which I could do my job and feel good about my involvement at Fox,\u201d Wallace continued. \u201cAnd since November of 2020, that just became unsustainable, increasingly unsustainable as time went on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wallace noted that he was also looking for a way to get out of politics entirely \u2014 which he will do when his new interview show, \u201cWho\u2019s Talking to Chris Wallace?\u201d debuts on CNN+.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the reasons that I left Fox was because I wanted to put all of that behind me. There has not been a moment when I have second-guessed myself about that decision,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Wallace shocked the world when he <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/who-the-hell-is-going-to-pay-for-cnn-howard-stern-mocks-chris-wallaces-career-change\/\">announced his exit<\/a> from \u201cFox News Sunday,\u201d as The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/i-want-to-try-something-new-chris-wallace-is-leaving-fox-news-sunday-effective-immediately\/\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cEighteen years ago, the bosses here at FOX promised me they would never interfere with a guest I booked or a question I asked \u2014 and they kept that promise,\u201d Wallace continued. \u201cI have been free to report to the best of my ability, to cover the stories I think are important, to hold our country\u2019s leaders to account.\u00a0It\u2019s been a great ride. We\u2019ve covered five presidential elections, interviewed every president since George H.W. Bush, traveled the world sitting down with France\u2019s Emmanuel Macron and Russia\u2019s Vladimir Putin.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cAnd I\u2019ve gotten to spend Sunday mornings with you,\u201d Wallace said, turning his attention to the audience. \u201cIt may sound corny, but I feel we\u2019ve built a community here. There\u2019s a lot you can do on Sunday mornings. The fact that you\u2019ve chosen to spend this hour with us is something I cherish. But after 18 years, I have decided to leave FOX. I\u00a0want to try something new, to go beyond politics, to all of the things I\u2019m interested in.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Wallace joined CNN a short time later, just before scandal rocked that network and <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/cnn-chief-zucker-resigns-two-days-after-brian-stelter-sneers-over-people-trusting-joe-rogan-more-than-cnn\/\">prompted the ouster<\/a> of long-time chief Jeff Zucker along with his <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-allison-gollust-out-at-cnn-after-investigation-reveals-violations-by-top-execs-chris-cuomo\/\">paramour<\/a>, Allison Gollust.<\/p>\n<p><span><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/span><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
