Fox News's Chris Wallace Unleashes Hell on Rove Questioners

Fox News's Chris Wallace may have misunderstood the point of doing PR when he snapped in front of a crowd of reporters at the Television Critics Association in LA moments ago. Our intrepid Buzz was front and center for the giant meltdown and besides sending texts saying "Rove's wearing a green tie! It's too long!" then she says things rapidly got even uglier. Joined on a panel by Howard Wolfson, John Moody, and Karl Rove, here's how the spin hit the fan:

Let's begin at the end, when the explosion happened. The Fox folks were ready to wrap up, and Wallace said basically, "no. I have something else to say."

Wallace then launched into a stern tirade that he thought there was a huge bias in the questions being asked of Karl Rove — especially regarding the controversy about him not testifying in front of Congress. He raged on why that would have any impact on his ability to work for Fox News, which is an independent news organization. Wallace then asked that he'd be curious to know if a conservative Congress had subpoenaed James Carville, if the reporters would be sitting there asking CNN whether it undermined their credibility to have him as a commentator. The general response from the reporters assembled was says Buzz, "uh, YEAH we would." Wallace fired back essentially, "oh, you would? Well, I'd be very curious to see that." The out-of-context blowup was according to Buzz, about a Richter 8 on the tension scale.

Chris Wallace, the guy who criticized his own network because he thought his fellow Fox-ians were being too harsh on Obama, has started the "Obama said he was coming to Fox News Sunday and he hasn't and we are going to try to shame him into it with a digital count down graphic" clock.

Jon Stewart has a few things to say about that — but the real goods come at ol' Tangerine Chris Matthews expense. Check out the mash-up of his "how's it feel to be the black kid of a white mom" interview from earlier this week. Point: Obama.
