I thought it was entertaining. Trump did fine. Wallace was fine. The claims that Wallace is some fake news left wing hack are stupid. He is tough on every person I have ever seen him interview.

Watched it. Great summary.aggiehawg said:
VI watched a large portion of it. In my view, Wallace committed the cardinal sin for journalists, allowed himself to be the topic of the interview and thus the story. Defending his career, bringing up other interviews he had done, etc.
I remember when Geraldo Rivera was suspended by FNC when he was covering Katrina and pitched into to assist in an actual rescue of a person. Why? Shouldn't he be lauded for helping out his fellow man? No, he inserted himself into the story, thus the suspension was the reasoning back then.
Also, Wallace seemed to be partially unprepared and didn't have clips nor transcripts to back up what he was claiming was "the truth" a la Candy Crowley in the 2012 debate.
Of course the media will surround Wallace for standing up to Orange Man Bad but wasn't a good look for Wallace in my view. His defense of in interviews of other people,"I asked one tough question here, and here and here," while hammering on every word coming out of Trump's mouth.
Just one tough question? Oooh, aahh, is that supposed to be impressive?

Hi SU!
Maybe you can explain the difference between "defunding the police" and "redirecting funds from the police"
I'm sure it's very technical which is why us poor rubes just can't understand the subtle difference like Genius Joe can
Can't wait for your answer
Sure! You know how trump redirected funds from the military to build the wall? By doing that he didn't defund the military.
So in your world "defund the police" can only mean eliminate all funding, with police being expected to work for free? Or is it possible that when you redirect traffic from a specific intersection the amount of traffic was reduced at that intersection.
So in your world trump "defunded the military?"
The definition of defund is to "prevent from continuing to receive funds." The military still receives funds, Biden wants police to continue to receive funds.
Go watch trumps interview, he thought the world "abolish" was in the agreement with sanders. Just more alternative facts. We need to regain collective societal truth.
BYE-DON 2020!
Hopefully Joe has to do debates and interviews to actually win. He absolutely does not have the mental acumen to be president. You don't like Trump or his pro-America policies, but he doesn't stutter and fumble around or need his wife to come get him from staring silently into the camera.SUag said:
No he didn't. That was actually an entertaining, competitive exchange of an interview. Wallace (and the in-stream fact checking provided) was compelling. Trump was Trump. Nothing new.All A&M said:
In the eyes of trumpsters, the interview wasn't damaging. But swing voters dont view it the same way. Wallace destroyed trump; I almost felt sorry for him.
I can't watch or listen to Chris Wallace or my blood pressure rises at the sound of the deep state fool.aTm FAN said:

Funny, so many biden voters do, too. And libs in general. When you bring facts/truths. It's called being ridiculous, extremists on both ends.SUag said:aggie93 said:
Wallace despises Trump because Trump has called him out repeatedly for what he is, a man who you wouldn't know at all if he didn't have a famous father. Thus instead of brushing off Trump and showing he is a true reporter he uses his position and power to try to make Trump look bad at every opportunity and then tries to act like he is above it all. BTW he bristles and gets upset when he feels disrespected by Democrats or other Republicans as well.
In the end it is about HIM and trying to justify himself as being this great newsman that he just isn't. He's an elitist who grew up an elitist and has gotten everything he has because his father was an icon of 60 Minutes and opened every door for him.
The big story of course from this interview was the "Defund the police" nonsense where Wallace is trying to say Biden hasn't REALLY said he is defunding the police even though he has done so repeatedly and the people around him are all in. He caught Trump because Trump thought it was part of his official platform instead of just something he talks about all the time and the story isn't that Biden is defunding the police it is that Trump confused where Biden had talked about it. That's not journalism. Journalism would be getting an interview with Biden and making him really explain his policies, not trying to jump on Trump because he is misinterpreting policies from his opponent that are very muddled.
If he did that though he would not be able to attack the man who hates him and says bad things about him though and the most important thing is "Orange Man Bad!"
If Biden wanted to defund the police, that would be amazing for trump as it's a insane position. Unfortunately it's fake news. But like Wallace said, trump sees the world as he wants to see it not as it actually is. And so do many trump supporters. Qanon just one outlandish example.
When you bring facts and truth to trumps world view, it melts away right in front of your eyes. All reporters should interview trump like this going forward. Bring the receipts and make him acknowledge reality. Painful to watch but important for our nation. We need to regain collective truth as a society. Without it we are lost.
