Veteran broadcaster Chris Wallace is leaving CNN after three years but, at age 77, he’s not interested in retiring. Wallace says he’s interested in following journalists who are going independent, either in the podcasting or streaming world. “That seems to be where the action is,” he said on Tuesday. Wallace has worked at ABC and NBC News, and was host of “Fox News Sunday” for 18 years. He was forced to cobble together a role at CNN after the streaming service he was hired to join was shut down a month after launching. He said his exit from CNN is amicable and has been in the works for months.
