With few exceptions, the only thing I watch on Fox News is Bret Baier's Special Report. He does their "straight news" show and tries with some success to keep his own opinions out of the show. Now Politico has interviewed him about the prominence his show has achieved in the Trump 2.0 era.
In posing this question, Politico admits Baier's show isn't opinion TV.
Fox News is often known for some of its more conservative, opinionated voices. That is not the lane that you own. How do you navigate being under the Fox News umbrella, but sort of owning this lane that is more straight journalism?
To be fair to Politico, they didn't fool with his answers. His was the same 'voice' I hear most nights when I tune in.
They didn't ask about the visits to various executive department headquarters around Washington which he has featured recently. Pretty clearly he has access others do not.
Two things I find a little tiresome are these: (a) how much golf news gets finagled into Bret's show, and (b) the things which his Common Ground folks can agree upon are real enough but often not very compelling outside the specific communities directly affected.
