  • Chris Wallace

    I just finished watching Chris Wallace's first show as host of Fox News Sunday. I would give him good marks--I will miss Tony Snow, but Wallace is likely to be fine. I thought his interview with Howard Dean was well done (and one can see that once Dean is in the general election campaign, he is going to have a harder time deflecting some of the questions about his more, shall we say questionable, comments (like the innuendo about how maybe Bush knew about 911 ahead of time)). And my favorite part of all these shows is the panel, which has stayed the same.

    In sum: Wallace ain't Tim Russert (but who is?) and thankfully he isn't Bob Schieffer either (thank goodness). And he is better than Stephanopolous (and BTW the original Enterprise called, and it wants its bridge back--what's up with that set?). So, it still seems to me that host-wise and show-wise nothing has changes: MTP is the best, FNS is second, and This Week and FTN are at the bottom.

    Wallace constantly interrupted Dean whenever Dean tried to give a pat or non-responsive answer. I really enjoyed that interview this morning. Watching Dean really squirm about whether he truly believed Bush had prior knowledge about 9/11 was simply priceless. Then tying Bush's refusal to produce wholesale all of his documents to Dean's own decision to seal his governor papers was a great follow up. I give Wallace high marks.

    Wallace was just fine.

    I am not sure MTP is the best - I think MTP needs its own consistent panel in a similar manner as FNS. Stephy ruined the This Week panel, but it wasn't that solid in the first place, and boy do I miss the Late Edition panel!

    I found myself being depressed that only perhaps 1% of the nation will be aware of the insanity Dean displayed with the 9/11 question - He was more off balance than Michael Moore and that is hard to do...

    I say for sure, that in my opinion, Russert is the best of the Sunday show hosts, and indeed one of the best intereviewers in the realm of tv punditry.
