Two major TV news anchors are leaving their networks, each citing the drastic change in news coverage and the loss of neutrality among viewers.
Brian Williams of MSNBC and Chris Wallace of Fox each announced their plans as the broadcast week drew to a close. Both lamented the changes in viewer demands. Both are known for their journalistic neutrality and their reputation for asking tough questions.
Williams did not say what his future plans are. Wallace will move to CNN+, the company's non-broadcast news operation. However, it was clear that Wallace's leaving was prompted by the increase in right-wing commentary on the Fox network, with some of its commentators skirting and sometimes crossing the bounds of truth.
Earlier, news anchor Shepard Smith left the Fox Network for similar reasons. He is now with CNBC.
