so I'll look for updates here. It's my opinion that Harris can ace any fair interview, but one on a network that has been found guilty of election interference? By definition, it won't be fair, and Baier will be trying to appease the cultists.

I'll bet that Baier and the Faux management are regretting this "interview", it was an epic failure on their part.

Hard pass.

She did fine, but she gave them plenty of talking points (on immigration, when did she realize Biden was “unfit”, and more such bullshit) that they didn’t have before the interview.

She probably knew there'd be lots of gotcha questions. She did say she was sorry to the families who had members killed by some of the immigrants who were released awaiting hearings. I'm sure she'd like to have said sometimes we misjudge who is dangerous. It happens. But you can't say that. She did a good job turning it around and getting in her points about the bill Trump told the Senate Rs to tank. When Baier brought up the 6 Dems who "voted against it", she should have pointed out that was a vote on cloture and irrelevant because all Rs were were voting against cloture and therefore Ds had no chance to get to 60 votes to invoke it.

Otherwise, thought she did a good job getting her message out and not letting Baier talk over her.

He set up a few traps for her and she didn’t take the bait and flipped it and put it back on Trump.
There were a few answer I wish she had better responses for, but going on fox and coming out with hardly a scratch on her is a win.
She started to lose her temper a bit and I loved it. She should have, but even when she lost her temper she was all class.

If I remember correctly, he wrote that by making the correct election call in 2020, FOX was alienating its audience.

Baier is not a "straight news" journalist. He is a partisan mouthpiece for the GOP and the MAGAs.

Softballs for Trump, traps for Harris.

In 2010, Baier interviewed President Obama and continually interrupted, lied, and challenged his answers.

He is not about informing his audience. He is all about indoctrinating them.
