Fox News anchor refers to Biden as "President-elect"

"After CNN reported Friday morning that it had reviewed “two memos” instructing Fox News talent to “stay away” from calling Democratic candidate Joe Biden the “President-elect” when the network calls the race, Fox News anchor Bret Baier used the phrase on air. And Fox News said in a statement that “there have been no network wide memos or editorial guidance from Fox News” regarding use of the phrase."

but I've seen Bret Baier several times. I've paid close attention to how he discusses news on his show and I haven't seen him be unfair. He seems to let other people talk a lot, which is a good quality in a host, but it's therefore hard to say what his opinions are. He's nothing like Tucker Carlson, in other words, more like how Shep Smith used to be. More than anyone else on Fox, he seems to be fair.
