Quick Glance: Fox News' Bret Baier's Loneliness
- Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier is perhaps the best embodiment of Fox Corp CEO Lachlan Murdoch's description of Fox News as a "center-right" network.
- Baier and Wallace had separately aired segments contradicting Carlson's claims about the siege of the United States Capitol without naming him; they had also raised concerns with Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and News Chief Jay Wallace.
- The Fox executive pointed out that Baier, as executive editor of "Special Report," the highest-rated news programme on cable television, had a lot of freedom in shaping the agenda of his own show.
- "Sammon was told the inevitable today," Scott responded.
