Chris Wallace made huge media news in Decmber when he announced he was leaving FOX News for CNN’s new streaming service CNN+.
Now that the man who hired him, former CNN president Jeff Zucker, is out, Wallace is apparently having second thoughts.
In fact, Wallace is reportedly ‘irate’ about Zucker’s departure and is already warring with CNN’s Jake Tapper.
Grab the popcorn.

Chris Wallace is “irate” at the ousting of CNN president Jeff Zucker and his future at the news network is uncertain, Radar has been told.
In a move that stunned Beltway television circles, the no-nonsense veteran anchor — son of legendary CBS correspondent Mike Wallace — announced he was leaving Fox News after 18 years for a prized gig at CNN’s new streaming-video outlet CNN+ in December.
At the time, the former Fox News Sunday anchor specifically cited Zucker as one of the reasons he joined the network.

“I am honored and delighted to join Jeff Zucker and his great team,” Wallace gushed in a statement just two hours after he quit Fox on December 12…
In wake of the decision from WarnerMedia suits to oust Jeff Zucker, Wallace is said to be “second guessing his decision” even though he is believed to be earning $8 to $10 million per year…
“He went over there for Zucker and now Zucker is gone. Wallace feels that he has been stiffed. He’s got no staff, no Executive Producer and the guy he gave up a prized gig for has just walked out the door.”
It looks like Chris Wallace has chosen… poorly.
