In what has to be considered the worst career move of all time, he <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/beccalower\/2021\/12\/12\/breaking-wallace-to-join-cnn-with-new-weekday-show-n490329\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">went from Fox<\/a> \u2014 the number one cable news network \u2014 to CNN, land of the fake news that has trouble finding viewers. Wallace was lured away by Jeff Zucker to be an anchor on a show on their new streaming service, CNN+. But then, Zucker <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/sister-toldjah\/2022\/02\/23\/report-the-chickens-come-home-to-roost-for-chris-wallace-n526704\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">resigned in scandal<\/a> after an affair with a colleague and more imploding on the Cuomo mess. It has not turned out like Wallace envisioned. He should have known it would have been a trainwreck even without the Zucker\/Cuomo debacle because they already weren\u2019t honest. But that didn\u2019t stop Wallace.<\/p>\n<p>Now, according to a report, he\u2019s throwing daily tantrums over how bad it is.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">SOURCE: Chris Wallace is &#8220;having daily breakdowns&#8221; over the &#8220;miserable launch&#8221; of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNNplus?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@CNNplus<\/a>.

It turns out that CNN+ is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/04\/12\/cnn-plus-low-viewership-numbers-warner-bros-discovery.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">struggling to draw fewer than 10,000 daily users<\/a> after its first two weeks. That\u2019s lower than some poorly performing YouTube accounts and it says a lot about what people think of CNN. That means that it\u2019s far worse than just a regular failing CNN show, which might at least get a several hundred thousand. The service <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/bonchie\/2022\/03\/30\/cnns-new-streaming-service-starring-chris-wallace-borders-on-a-poetic-collapse-n543142\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">doesn\u2019t even get those numbers. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jeff Zucker destroyed the brand that they used to have by becoming a Democratic opinion site, and it\u2019s unlikely such a streaming service can bring it back. What do they think is going to drag people in? I\u2019m not hearing anything I would want to see, and if I\u2019m not, I\u2019m willing to bet a lot of others feel the same way. Plus, what conceit that CNN thinks people are going to pay more to get what they already don\u2019t want to see for free. Add Wallace to that conceit. Does he think people want to pay money to hear from him? Not to mention that any of the small handful of Democrats who might want to watch the streaming service probably wouldn\u2019t watch him because he\u2019s a former Fox host, even though he is a Democrat. Indeed, I\u2019m surprised that they could even get 10,000 to watch the service.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a mess and frankly, it couldn\u2019t happen to a more deserving, pretentious fellow than Chris Wallace. He didn\u2019t know how good he had it at Fox, where they were willing to tolerate his pontificating. He got spoiled thinking that people cared to hear what he had to say.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that could save CNN at this point would be if they cared to embrace reality again instead of just being an arm of the Democratic Party. But it\u2019s probably too late at this point because they lost all credibility. And it\u2019s likely too late for Wallace as well at this point. The karmic implosion is delicious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things are not going well for Chris Wallace at CNN.
