New York (CNN) — Bret Baier’s standing as a “fair and balanced” newsman is being called into question like never before.
The Fox News chief political anchor has long enjoyed a strong reputation in Washington circles and among viewers, anchoring major news events for the network and moderating presidential debates. While its never been a secret that Baier’s program carries a conservative bent, he’s widely been considered a respected figure who adheres to traditional journalistic ethics and standards.
That reputation, however, has been ruptured in recent months by the release of leaked private text messages sent in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, casting the “Special Report” anchor in a dramatically different light.
Bret Baier was the one who announced on Faux, with all seriousness, on the eve of the 2016 election, that he had gotten word from the FBI that an indictment for Hillary Clinton was “imminent”.
It was so outrageous, he had to walk all that BS back the next day. That in itself should permanently remove the words “respected” and “traditional journalistic ethics and standards” from any association from him.
