[TheBlaze] Prissy Wallace reveals why he left Fox News, says people started to 'question his obvious lies the truth'
Former Fox News anchor Chris Wallace abruptly departed Fox News in December. Wallace finally broke his silence as to why he left Fox News to work at CNN's new streaming service.
"Pay attention to meeeeee"
In an interview with the New York Times — his first since leaving Fox News — Wallace claimed that the top cable TV news network was headed in a direction that is "unsustainable."
"I just no longer felt comfortable with the programming at Fox," said Wallace, who had been at the network for 18 years. "But when people start to question the truth — Who won the 2020 election? Was Jan. 6 an insurrection? — I found that unsustainable."

"Before, I found it was an environment in which I could do my job and feel good about my involvement at Fox," Wallace said. "And since November of 2020, that just became unsustainable, increasingly unsustainable as time went on."
