CNN’s Chris Wallace appeared on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” where the two discussed the current state of news media.

Wallace, who hosts a weekly talk show on CNN and HBO Max, stated that the ability to consume the news 24/7 is a change that isn’t for the better in the former Fox News anchor’s eyes.

“The world has changed, and you know, you don’t get your news at 6:30 at night,” Wallace told Maher. “You’re getting it all day, and you can get it on your phone or, as you say, Facebook or Instagram or TikTok or whatever.

“But the world has definitely changed, and not for the better in terms of the desire to get the straight facts and to have your preconceptions be challenged by what reality is. People don’t want reality. They want their view.”

During the interview, Wallace also revealed to Maher that he became “a bit bored” with politics after years of political coverage. As a result, it led to jumping on the opportunity to join CNN.

On his show “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” the host can venture outside the political sphere as he incorporates different interests and guests from diverse backgrounds.

Tucker Carlson Tells Joe Rogan: I Don’t Email, Get on the Internet, or Own a TV

“I’m not into that. That stuff is bad, you know. That’s my isolation tank.”

Tucker Carlson has built a TV career spanning nearly three decades and has now built a burgeoning digital media entity. But he told Joe Rogan he doesn’t use any of the technology.

While appearing as a guest on the latest episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Carlson attempted to send Rogan a series of files mistakenly released by the U.S. government. When the popular podcast host told him to email him the files, Tucker Carlson responded that he wouldn’t be doing any such thing.

“I don’t do email. I don’t know how to AirDrop anything,” said Carlson.

“You don’t do email?,” Rogan questioned.

“No,” Carlson bluntly stated as Rogan chuckled. “I haven’t done email in many years.”

“Really? How do you exist?,” Rogan continued.

“I do text. I don’t go on the f—ing internet, I don’t have a TV. I’m not into that. That stuff is bad, you know. That’s my isolation tank. I just stay away from that s—.”

Joe Rogan sat, flabbergasted, at the idea that someone synonymous with cable television — and now a growing digital media enterprise that includes videos and podcasts — would share that he doesn’t use the internet or television.

However, Rogan did admit “That’s smart.”

During the nearly three-hour discussion, Carlson and Rogan discussed a bevy of topics, including the Theory of Evolution, the existence of aliens, 9/11 conspiracy theories, and some of Carlson’s former bosses.

Lawrence O’Donnell: Jesse Watters Proves ‘How Stupid You Can Be’ on Fox News

“Jesse Watters is the newest liar to occupy the 8 PM slot on Fox, the lying channel.”

Former President Donald Trump parrotted a talking point from Fox News primetime host Jesse Watters. MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell took extreme displeasure with the situation.

During the jury selection for the first trial against Trump, a juror was asked if they believed that anyone was above the law. When they said no, Watters said “I don’t know about that,” before claiming it was an attempt to “rig this jury” with “undercover liberal activists”, which Trump cited Watters for unveiling.

On The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell, the MSNBC host took Watters to task for what believed was a purposely inaccurate encapsulation.

“Jesse Watters is the newest liar to occupy the 8 PM slot on Fox, the lying channel,” O’Donnell began. “The previous occupant of the 8 p.m. slot had told so many of those lies, that even Fox decided they had to let him go. And the occupant before that one (Bill O’Reilly) … lost his job only after being exposed as a grievous serial sexual harasser at Fox.

“Jesse Watters is the same person who — last week — said publicly that he believed that the minimum wage produces an income of $100,000 a year in America. That’s how stupid you can be on Fox at 8 PM, or in the case of Jesse Watters, also at 5 PM.”

O’Donnell concluded by stating that Trump simply “rewrote” the lie from the Fox News host. He added that there is no evidence of any “undercover liberal activists” attempting to get on the jury.
