Chris Wallace announces he is leaving Fox News
CNN
Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, one of the few high-profile news personalities who retained a reputation of integrity as the channel he worked for leaned hard into right-wing and conspiratorial programming, announced Sunday that he is departing the network, effective immediately.
"After 18 years I have decided to leave Fox," Wallace told viewers on "Fox News Sunday," the network's flagship Sunday program that he has moderated since 2003. "I want to try something new to go beyond politics to all the things I'm interested in. I'm ready for a new adventure."
Fox touted Wallace's "long-term contract" renewal back in September 2017. That contract was expiring this year, and Wallace decided he didn't want to renew, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
