Veteran broadcaster Chris Wallace has left CNN after three years, sparking widespread speculation about the reasons behind his departure. While Wallace has publicly attributed his exit to a desire to explore opportunities in podcasting and streaming, recent reports suggest deeper factors influenced his decision, including cancelled shows and a significant salary cut.
Chris Wallace, who joined CNN in 2021 after an 18-year tenure at Fox News, revealed in an interview with Puck News that his decision to leave had been made well in advance. "I had already decided with my wife six months ago to leave CNN," Wallace stated. According to The Independent, Wallace emphasised that discussions about his future role or salary at CNN were irrelevant because his decision to depart had already been made.
