Fox News’ Chris Wallace Parrots Glenn Beck

For all those who like to respond to criticism of Fox News Channel commentators such as Glenn Beck, with the idea that there are, essentially, two Fox Newses – the “news” and the “opinion” shows – Media Matters for America has put together the following list. It shows the numerous times Fox News host Chris Wallace (a news guy) parrots Glenn Beck (a commentator).

• Wallace echoes Beck in airing Untouchables clip, referring to the Obama administration’s “Chicago way.”
• Wallace followed Beck’s lead in mainstreaming O’Keefe’s ACORN videos.
• Wallace and Beck repeat bogus claim that U.S. Chamber of Commerce “represents 3 million businesses.”
• Wallace’s “death book” smears followed Beck’s “death panels” smears.
• Wallace echoed Beck in asking if prosecution of Bush admin. will lead U.S. toward “what we’ve had in banana republics?”
• Beck and Wallace have both advanced the meme of Obama as an “apologist.”
• Beck and Wallace use fictional character “Jack Bauer” in defense of torture.

Keep in mind, that was one host and one commentator.
