CNN FIGHTS TO KEEP WALLACE ON BOARD!
VETERAN journo Chris Wallace is on the verge of ditching CNN, leaving head honchos to panic that his departure could sink the mothership, sources squeal!
The rumors started spinning when the widely respected, tough-talking broadcaster, 76, confessed he’s “getting itchy” to plunge back into political coverage ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Wallace currently hosts CNN’s The Chris Wallace Show, where he skewers pop culture icons such as Taylor Swift, and the chatfest Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace, where he interviews stars like Adam Driver and Bethenny Frankel.
“The network is lucky to have him. They know that, and Chris does too, and bosses acknowledge behind the scenes he’s keeping the ship afloat. Without him they’d be sunk,” spills an insider.
“But Chris has been expressing himself in ways that have bosses worried he’s about to bail or another network is about to poach him. After all, Chris said himself he’s ready for a ‘challenge,’ and picking pop culture icons apart and interviewing reality stars clearly isn’t doing it for him!”
Sources say Chris has his eyes on getting involved in reporting on the 2024 elections — and his bosses fear he may return to FOX News, which would give CNN a black eye.
“One thing is clear Rivals are circling, so bosses will do anything to keep him happy,” spouts an insider. “They’ll throw more money at him and feed his ego.”
