Brett Baier looks like a fellow who might have played varsity football in college and decided to pursue a career as a TV journalist.
As the "premier reporter of straight news" on FOX, he very rarely descends to the level of peddling mendacious, right wing
talking points.
Brett Baier is becoming more like Chris Wallace, not as abrasive, but bringing Fauci on tonight was a perfect example. The wealthy career bureaucrat has been lying to the public for 3 years, but he is brought in by Bauer as some sort of expert.
Keep going Bret, and someday you could be on CNN.
Fox news is loosing ratings because their hosts are a bunch of “want to be political correct” and afraid to loose sponsors. I only watch Tucker Carlson in the evening. The rest of the time I watch Newsmax, they are reliable and truthful, like Fox used to be and is NOT anymore.
The ratings for Brett Bauer must be misinformation. Can’t believe he is part of Fox. He is as liberal as Chris Wallace. Let him follow Wallace where he belongs at NBC.
Can’t believe Fox News keeping Chris Wallace, Martha and Bret. Can’t watch them at all haven’t in over a year. Why all of a sudden they stopped reporting on the NFL kneeling? I guess they just don’t care anymore
Except for a couple of programs Fox News sucks. Everyone is so sick of the sickening Geraldo Rivera, who the fk wants to watch that SOB? I just said goodbye to Fox during the 2020 election because you could see what they were doing and the whole World will soon find out Trump won by a landslide. Okay just call us idiots until 2022!
I was a #1 FN viewer for 20 years. With respect to Tucker. Sean, GG, Ingraham, Jessie, and Judge J. I stop watching this network completely> Newsmax is the way to go. As long as Chris Wallace, Bret Bair, Martha, and all them leftist anchors keep working I will not go back to FNN, period
I will not be watching Bret Baier after his soft ball interview with John Boehner.
Tuning out Bret Baier , Martha MacCallum and Chris Wallace. Dana Perino should not be moved from her current position, she is a professional in the fullest since of the word. Martha MacCallum should just go away, she was an attack dog for Brett Baier early in the attack on the White House. Brett Baier should go away also.
I started noticing a change with Brett Bair during the election. He continually used the word transparency to degrade Trump questioning the election. He never stated the data showing there was a serious concern about the manner the voting did not follow election rules.
Neil bates his guest with questions that force a negative response about Trump.
Oh then Chris Wallace who became a newsman on his fathers coat tails. He must not have been part of debate in school. He had no ability to manage a debate between two people.
I hope Fox realizes there faithful viewership is aware of the left leaning movement.
