Fox’s Wallace on outraging liberals

Chris Wallace, in an interview with The Martha’s Vineyard Times, talks about believing in liberal bias since coming to Fox, and debating fellow vacationers.

"I really have over the course of time come to think that there is a bias to most of the reporting in the media, and I think Fox and some newspapers do a good job of balancing that," he said. "Again, whether you end up agreeing with Fox or not, it can only be healthy to have more viewpoints out there and more approaches out there."

Asked how his view of the conventional media wisdom resonates within the liberal Vineyard summer community, Mr. Wallace laughs. "Oh my God, I’ve broken up more dinner parties in my years on the Vineyard," he said.

Asked for an example, he described a discussion at a party several years ago hosted by Rose Styron, a poet and the wife of Pulitzer-prize winning author William Styron. He said everybody was criticizing President George Bush. The list of criticisms included Mr. Bush’s go it alone approach in Iraq and his rejection of one-on-one talks with North Korea and insistence that China be part of any discussion.

Mr. Wallace said he pointed out the contradiction and raised "howls of outrage."

Also, Politico made Wallace’s list of regular online reads, along with Drudge, Red State, Real Clear Politics, and (perhaps more surprisingly), Huffington Post.
