Interviewers make a choice every time they sit down with a newsmaker and start to ask questions. Do they start by warming their subject up or go straight for the jugular? Fox News anchor Bret Baier chose one way when interviewing former President Donald Trump last year, and a very different way when interviewing Vice President Kamala Harris this week in her first formal sit-down with the right-wing network. A detailed review of the two interviews showed a marked difference in Fox’s treatment of the two top candidates for president. Last year, Baier was praised by media critics for challenging Trump. “In key moments, Baier’s interviewing put Trump on his heels, forcing him to formulate slipshod excuses for his conduct,” Erik Wemple of the Washington Post wrote after the interview aired in June 2023. However, Baier did not talk over Trump nearly as much as he interrupted Harris. The Fox anchor’s first question to Trump was also a softball. “I’ve asked this question, the same first question, to all the candidates I’ve interviewed this year,” Baier said. “And that is this: What do you think is the most important issue facing the country right now?”
