The show’s last airing in January averaged 323,000 viewers and 38,000 in the 25-54 demographic. Sources say the show is failing to reach half a million viewers. According to Nielsen ratings, Wallace’s program received only 462,000 viewers in its desirable 7 p.m.-8 p.m. Eastern time slot.

While at Fox News, viewers criticized Wallace’s obvious and blatant bias on a number of occasions. Without evidence, he once accused Trump of “stoking racial divisions” among Americans.

Wallace also criticized Tucker Carlson’s reporting of the January 6th capitol riot while celebrating the inauguration of Joe Biden, claiming he delivered “the best inaugural address” since John F. Kennedy’s “Ask not” speech in 1961.

In comparison, Fox News drew 1,279,000 viewers at the same time period on Trey Gowdy’s “Sunday Night in America.” Fox News won the time slot by a triple-digit advantage and double-digits in the coveted 25-54 age demographic.

During his departure, Wallace admitted that life at Fox News had become “unsustainable” for him.

Wallace reportedly even complained to Fox News management about Tucker Carlson who continued to ask questions and investigate instances of alleged voter fraud in the 2020 election.

This was apparently a deal-breaker for Wallace, who was evidently happy with the outcome of the election.

“I just no longer felt comfortable with the programming at Fox,” 74-year-old Wallace said. “I’m fine with opinion: conservative opinion, liberal opinion,” he continued. “But when people start to question the truth — Who won the 2020 election? Was Jan. 6 an insurrection? — I found that unsustainable.”

“I spent a lot of 2021 looking to see if there was a different place for me to do my job,” he added.

Wallace was particularly triggered by Tucker Carlson’s documentary “Patriot Purge,” which questioned whether the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was a “false flag” operation intended to demonize conservatives.

During a congressional hearing, Republican Senator Ted Cruz explored this same issue by questioning a top FBI official who refused to answer simple questions.

“How many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated in the events of Jan. 6?” Cruz asked. After FBI Assistant Executive Director Jill Sanborn refused to answer, Cruz asked a broader question, “Did any FBI agents or confidential informants actively participate in the events of Jan. 6? Yes or no.”

“Sir, I can’t answer that,” replied Sanborn. Then Cruz asked about Ray Epps, who many people claim is an FBI informant present who was present on Jan. 6.

“Ms. Sanborn, was Ray Epps a fed?” Cruz asked. Again, she refused to answer. Cruz proceeded to show photographs of Epps allegedly whispering to some protesters, who then proceeded to tear down a barricade around the Capitol.

Epps was also captured on video with a crowd in Washington, D.C. on the night prior to January 6, claiming that “Tomorrow, we need to get into the Capitol! Into the Capitol!” People yelled back, “No!” Folks even started chanting, “Fed, Fed, Fed!”

Cruz asked, “Did any FBI agents or confidential informants commit crimes of violence on Jan. 6?”

“Sir, I can’t answer that,” Sanborn said.

For Wallace, these questions make him “uncomfortable.” While appearing on Fox News, Wallace adamantly defended the outcome of the 2020 election. He once claimed there is “no evidence of voter fraud.”

During the 2020 presidential debates, Wallace wrongfully defended Joe Biden and shut down Trump’s accusations about corrupt overseas business dealings arising from the contents Hunter Biden’s laptop.

At one moment in the debate, Trump said it’s a “fact” that Hunter Biden’s laptop implicates his father in corrupt overseas business deals.

Wallace inappropriately shut down any discussion about Hunter’s laptop and claimed it wasn’t actual. He said Americans are more interested in hearing about “substantive issues” than Hunter’s laptop.

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo later aired this old clip of Wallace because the media got it wrong while Trump was right all along.

Months before the election, Wallace and others were part of a cover-up scandal that censored information about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Wallace is accused of putting “his leftist politics before truth” and doing “all he could to help Joe Biden save face” during the debate.
