Toward the end of his Fox News broadcast on Monday evening, Special Report anchor Bret Baier responded to President Trump’s recent criticism of the network’s polling, which shows him trailing every major Democratic candidate in hypothetical head-to-head matchups. “Fox has changed,” Trump told reporters on Sunday, adding, “There’s something going on at Fox, I’ll tell you right now and I’m not happy with it.”

“Fox has not changed,” Baier said in response. “We have a news side and an opinion side. Opinion folks express their opinions. We do polls.” After explaining that Fox’s polls reflect the reality of the race at this moment, the anchor said

I believe that's Meagan Kelly, once part of FOX News.

Isn’t it about time for Fox to drag Frank “Lumps” away from the buffet table, plaster his rug on his head, and have him “weigh in” with his opinion?

“Bret Baier Fires Back at Trump on Polls: ‘Fox News Has Not Changed’”

Bret’s right about that one: FNC’s polls are still the worst in the business for accuracy ...

Yes, the pollsters for Fox haven’t changed. They oversampled Democrats by eight points in their latest poll. That the same kind of bias that resulted in the Fox poll being so far off in the last election cycle, making it one of the least accurate pollsters.

“FNC polls are the worst and as usual Trump is right.”

They certainly are among the worst. The last election proved that.

Sorry Brett, but it’s my take it actually has.

The reports I’m hearing of things going on air at FoxNews, aren’t exactly shoring up your position.

Sorry Bret but Trump is right-again. FNC is turning hard left since Ailes left and old man Murdoch turned it over to his daughters and their wives.

Aside from FNF in the morning and your evening line up starting at 8:00 FNC is nothing more than an also ran in the cable news market with red, white and blue graphics and better looking T&A and that only gets you so far.

Look at who us running the new company now. A laundry list of Deep Staters, Never Trumpers, unipartiers...

You're right. It's not the old days when Tony Snow was doing Sunday - and covered things conservatives cared about. Night Fox is still great. Guess they had to keep them to pay the bills.
