HuffPost
The Fox News anchor described the alleged maneuvering going on before and during his chat with the Democratic presidential nominee.

“We were supposed to start at 5 p.m.,” the Fox News anchor told colleagues Wednesday in a postmortem of his chat with the Democratic presidential nominee.
“This was the time they gave us. Originally, we were going to do 25 or 30 minutes. They came in and said, ‘Well, maybe 20.’ So, it was already getting whittled down. And then the vice president showed up about 5:15. We were pushing the envelope to be able to turn it around for the top of the 6 o’clock. So that’s how it started.”
“I could tell when we started talking that she was going to be tough to redirect without me trying to interrupt,” he continued. “I just didn’t even have the chance to, sometimes, redirect in those ways. I had a lot of other questions.”
Colleague Dana Perino said the Democratic nominee should have continued the conversation in an effort to win the news cycle.
