Former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson publicly criticized Bret Baier after his interview with Kamala Harris, agreeing that “he’s not a ‘straight news’ anchor. He’s a hack who’s no different than Hannity or Watters.”
Oliver Darcy said Fox gained more from the interview than Harris because “the network wants nothing more than to present Baier, a conservative broadcaster who has a history of being sympathetic to Trump’s lies, as a down-the-middle newsman.”
