 [The Wrap] Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Chris Wallace bristled at the direction the network is headed, skewing away from news and more towards a nearly full-time editorial bent, according to a lengthy report by NPR.
Baier and Wallace, according to the report, "shared their objections with Fox News Media CEO Suzanne Scott and its president of news, Jay Wallace." The objections eventually made their way to Lachlan Murdoch, the chairman and CEO of the network’s parent company, Fox Corporation.
Fox News representatives declined to offer statements regarding Baier and Wallace, and Murdoch didn’t immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.
NPR’s report comes the day after news broke that two longtime Fox News commentators, Jonah Goldberg and Stephen Hayes, quit following the release of a trailer for Tucker Carlson’s Capitol Riot special report, "Patriot Purge," which supports and amplifies false claims and conspiracy theories about the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.
