The people over at CNN are FURIOUS…
Fox News host Chris Wallace, in a now-public email, called a question by Jake Tapper to Steven Mnuchin “fake news” after the CNN host spent the segment asking the Treasury secretary about the Mueller investigation instead of tax policy.
“Is this right?” Wallace asked Tony Sayegh, then-Treasury spokesman, about the 2017 segment with Tapper, according to an email obtained Wednesday by the Hollywood Reporter. “Was the first question Tapper asked the secretary about the special counsel?”
Sayegh responded, “That is correct.”
“As much as I hate the expression ‘fake news’ — this is a perfect example of it — especially on the week the country gets a massive overhaul of the tax code,” Wallace replied in the email chain where he also cc’d then-White House aide Hope Hicks.
In the Dec. 17 interview, Tapper told Mnuchin he would “get to taxes in one second” before asking about the Mueller investigation. The CNN host later asked the secretary about the president’s tax plan later in the interview.
Wallace, 71, ended up interviewing Mnuchin the same day and focused the discussion on tax policy. The Treasury spokesman said in an email to Wallace that Mnuchin “really enjoyed” the interview with the Fox News anchor.
A CNN representative responded to the claim by Wallace, saying it was a “cheap” shot meant to butter up the White House.
“Turns out Chris Wallace is no different than many of his peers at Fox News. It’s disappointing that he’d need to take cheap shots at another journalist to curry favor with this administration,” the representative said.
A Fox News representative defended Wallace’s interview, calling it a “tough and probing interview.”

CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC should have there licenses taken away for lying and fake news which I am sure violates there license. They are hurting the country and the FCC should step in! Fine them 1 billion each and give them 30 days to clean up there act!
I have given up on Fake News, never read about it, not interested in it, and don’t give a good, sweet, gawd damn about it or about any of the lying jerk-offs that claim to be journalists because they are freaken P.O.S. gawd damn liars! That being said, so why on earth would or in fact should a good decent man like myself give two worthless Fuc*s about fake news, answer me if you can, but you won’t because you can’t. Hahahahahaha And you can’t because you are nothing but a piece of shit your-damn-self. Good decent American men must run these lying pieces-o-crap out of our country, we need to ship-em all 1/2 way back to Africa, China or Russia and drop em off. Oh, if that drop off point happens to be in the middle of the ocean, to bad for them hahahahaha, creepy fools.
The truth is the worst enemy of fake news. Thank God there are still a few actual journalists out there who do there job by bringing us the facts and letting us decide how we feel about it. CNN, MSNBC, and several others like to tell us how we should feel about the news and then provide fake news to back up their efforts.
Why can’t Trump call “MARSHALL LAW ” and ship all these Treasonous a- — Holes to a place where they will never ever see the light of day for the rest of their lives…….. All the worlds governments are evil, its all about world dominance, power, control this is all “DEMONIC”
Youfools and your fake news beliefs, Funny.Sad
What is truly funny (NOT ha ha) and sad (boo hoo) is that dupes like you do not believe what is patently obvious to anyone with a functioning brain. So who is really the fool?
