Many Trump supporters mocked and blasted Wallace over the news along with his decision to leave Fox News for CNN and choose an unproven streaming service platform to debut his show.
Here are just some of the responses to Nicosia.
Nobody was watching CNN for free. Why did he think people would pay to watch it?

Who has left FOX News for a better career? Wallace joins Shepherd Smith, Megyn Kelly, and Bill O'Reilly that all fallen off. Wallace had a great role but that said he got paid very well to end his career with a whisper.

Baffling… a network people get for “free” indirectly when getting cable - *that has no viewers* - thought they could get viewers to pay for an app/site no one knows exists.
