It would probably improve Faux News.
No help to CBS however.

Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson stepped in for Norah O'Donnell

I could have told them at no charge that NorDUH the feminist O'Donnell and Dubois/Dickerson would be a ratings failure.

I don’t care much about Bret Baier but would love to see this because it would cause a total meltdown among the See-BS news staff.

Would Baier go full lefty like former FOX personality now at CNN alisyn camerota did?

Why do these supposedly profit minded corporations pay outrageous salaries to these essentially ‘news readers’ as the BBC calls them?

They could hire interns to do the same and save literally millions of dollars.

I don’t watch the ‘news’ to see ‘personalities’, I watch the news for, guess what, NEWS!..................

“””I donโ€™t care much about Bret Baier but would love to see this because it would cause a total meltdown among the See-BS news staff.””””

I think Brett would fit right in with them but you are correct about it causing a meltdown.

Oooh la la. I now watch Special Report regularly over the last year and “We report, you decide.” is spot on for Baier. FOX haters will disagree but journalists are supposed to do exactly that.

He bends right of center, if anything. Not like the rest of Prime Time which happily exposes the Donks nightly. That’s not his job if he’s to be taken seriously. He grilled the hell out of Pritzker last night and didn’t let him skate like we always see.

Enter Bari Weiss into the CBS landscape. Baier and CBS could be a great match.
....restoring creditability and prestige to its one-time dominance. Or would fair and balanced reporting be a draw ?

If I was FOX, I’m not sure what I’d do. He beats the alphabets. Keep him, or let him advance his career ?....if moving to an alphabet is “advancing his career”. Not so sure in this age of streaming.

All things considered, he’ll probably not bite. FOX has no perfect replacement should he bail. One part-time anchor, Rich Edson, iirc. could. but beyond that....? Bill Melugin , perhaps.

Fascinating.

He would be instantly demonized by the left, therefore the boomers that only get their media from TV already would despise him. Wouldnโ€™t work.

Bret Baier is maybe the most moderately Conservatives in the whole Fox line up. He tries too too hard not to offend anyone.
