Watching Bret Baier of Fox News interview Prime Minister Netanyahu on Sunday, I was struck by how far he has surpassed his competitors in the broadcast and cable networks. If you want it from the horse's mouth, Baier will have that pony sitting for an interview and behaving themself.
With nothing much to lose, I fearlessly predict historians will declare Bret Baier the Walter Cronkite of the Trump era. His is the indispensable talking head even the opposition watches because those who matter want to sit opposite him and be interviewed.
Who gets the credit? It certainly begins with Bret himself, he is a talented anchor. Some credit also goes to Brit Hume, his similarly talented predecessor and a bunch more to the Murdoch organization for recognizing the mostly empty market niche of a news show where conservatives are treated as reasonable humans with stories to tell and common sense perspectives.
