‘Unseemly and illegitimate’: The egregious conflict at the center of the final presidential debate
Two words: Roger Ailes
Multiple media ethics experts told ThinkProgress that the choice raises serious ethical questions.
“Of course there’s a huge conflict of interest if Roger Ailes is advising Donald Trump”
That means the same person who is advising Donald Trump on his debate preparations is also advising the boss of the man hosting it.
“Of course there’s a huge conflict of interest if Roger Ailes is advising Donald Trump,”
“Then if he turns around and he’s advising and consulting with the head of Fox News, Newscorp, Rupert Murdoch, then obviously that’s a huge conflict.”
Fox News has explained away such conflicts by pointing to a “separation” between its news and commentary sections.
But several experts in journalism ethics say it’s not that simple.
“As far as appearances go, the relationship between all of these individuals is so closely intertwined that it’s really hard to imagine that there isn’t conflict,”
Chris Wallace does not personally have to be shilling for Trump for there to be an ethical problem.
“Whatever Chris Wallace believes about the mission of the moderator, he knows who writes his checks”
“Roger Ailes is the best boss I’ve had in almost a half a century in journalism. I admired him tremendously professionally, and loved him personally,”
Wallace told the NYT shortly after Ailes’ resignation. “I never knew a boss who transmitted a sense of mission,a team of common
“He finds himself in that position of being guilty by association,” said Smith.
“Now, does Chris Wallace represent a conflict of interest? Maybe Chris Wallace as an employee of Fox News doesn’t personally, but he is clearly representing a network that has clear ties and associations with Donald Trump.”
Four people, who insisted on anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter, said that Ailes would be helping Trump prepare.
“In recent weeks, Ailes has become one of the most influential voices in the room as Trump prepares for his first head-to-head matchup with Hillary Clinton, on September 26.
Ailes has attended at least two of Trump’s Sunday debate prep sessions in person, sources said, and talks with Trump by phone multiple times a week.”

So, we'll see how Wallace performs. He will be watched closely.
"sense of mission"!
"team of common purpose"!

Chris Wallace pulls punches for nobody regardless of political affiliation. I've always liked him as an interviewer. I'm most likely still skipping the third debate though. The moderator of the 2nd debate was pretty good too and she still couldn't get anything beyond the same rehashed talking points out of either candidate. Hillary will play it safe to keep whatever lead she has and let TrumpZilla in blind rage and desperation try to rain fire on anything and everything in his path.
Horse . He's just as devious as the next asshole in the line.Chris Wallace pulls punches for nobody regardless of political affiliation. I've always liked him as an interviewer. I'm most likely still skipping the third debate though. The moderator of the 2nd debate was pretty good too and she still couldn't get anything beyond the same rehashed talking points out of either candidate. Hillary will play it safe to keep whatever lead she has and let TrumpZilla in blind rage and desperation try to rain fire on anything and everything in his path.
Wallace is the best case for trump but hannity would have been better
Wallace will try to not make the debate about him
trump and hannity lol
that would turn into "hump"
lol @ Hannity as a debate moderator.
He'd probably refer to her as crooked Hillary on stage
You have no clue.
He is one guy on FOX who will rip anyone. His Sunday Morning interviews are quite good. If you can't see the difference between Wallace and Hannity just shut it. Stick with your movie reviews and defending Avantepedolyzer.
You'd be wise not to do the pedo with me, pg.
You've been warned.
Well of course, you can dish it, but, you cannot take it.
Chris Wallace always seemed like a straight shooter to me.
Have to love it when someone contradicts themselves in the same sentence.
He worked for Ailes, Fox pays him. The entire org is rotten , as is Ailes, going back to Nixon.
I'll just bet he does.
Once & again the cold hard fact remains:::we do it to ourselves. Anybody who will agree to a debate under these conditions deserve exactly what they get. Switch it:::Just for s & giggles tell them we'll debate but Limbaugh will be moderator. They'd tell us to go ourselves. Not us, we charge right in there and then act put out when we're ed. The Dems never make a mistake. We get Supreme Court appointees,,,LMAO! Aside from Thomas they've all turned Left. That's why the Dems fought tooth & nail to keep Thomas out. They knew. The Dems? They never make a mistake on a Justice. Ever.
you're an aging, fading group. never the most clever
Perhaps, but, I'll never give in. I'll take it to the grave.
You defend Avante, that's your problem not mine sister.
When a party turns further and further right it tends to look this way.
The entire Frggn party challenges one another to go further right. "I'm the real conservative, I killed an immigrant."
You have heard of relativity.
That's fine. Just don't cross the line, pg.
or what, pedo?
what you gonna do? chase him around with a parrot on your shoulder?
Hillary does much better in this format anyway.Chris Wallace pulls punches for nobody regardless of political affiliation. I've always liked him as an interviewer. I'm most likely still skipping the third debate though. The moderator of the 2nd debate was pretty good too and she still couldn't get anything beyond the same rehashed talking points out of either candidate. Hillary will play it safe to keep whatever lead she has and let TrumpZilla in blind rage and desperation try to rain fire on anything and everything in his path.
She was flat in the town hall with her answers. In this format she can just accuse Donald of being a serial sexual predator all night long and be good.
