Brit ALWAYS called out Mara LIARson....Brett doesn’t...he lets her lie.
DUMP SHEP!!!
Couple of things...
I seriously doubt that ‘Baier’ made the changes to the program. There’s a chain of command from the line producer(s) up to the executive producer and beyond that would have to sign off on said changes, and since Baier’s main background is NOT in anchoring (at least during his Fox tenure) it’s doubtful that he’s the source of the ‘new ideas’.
Second, the dropoff in gravitas between Hume and Baier is huge. I’m honestly quite surprised they didn’t replace Brit with either Jim Angle (good) or Brian Wilson (better). Bret is a decent guy, but is way too green (young) to be an anchor at that level.
I guess it could be worse—at least they didn’t choose Chris Wallace...he’s a terrible interviewer and even worse in a roundtable (panel) type setting. I thought once that Krauthammer was gonna leap out of his wheelchair and strangle Wallace when he kept cutting Charles off.
Brett's a pro if he can open his show almost every night with the words:
"President Obama"
I like Brett Baier...I like him more now. He does a very good job on Special Report.
Yeah, without even noticing that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC are tentacles of the Democrat Party.
We have put little Paul on our prayer list.
Obviously, he’ll never replace Britt, but Baier does a good job. The article also claimed that half a million people watch that pig Ed Schultz, which I simply do not believe.
Now if they’d just get rid of Shemp Smith.
I think Brett is doing fine. He may not have the stature of Brit Hume yet, but give the guy some time.
Having that segment is just the right balance with the serious news and debate. We need something like that what with all the bad stuff coming out of Washington.
I like Brett, always have. He is everything said about him, for sure. He reminds me of a cross between Sam Donaldson and a former LA newscaster, Jerry Dunphy.
I think he’ll do great and be at the top for long time to come.
