Fox News Channel Boasts Rare Catch: Democrats at a Town Hall

[yallerdawg]

Now I have to take that channel off 'parental guidance' blocks.

Thank you, Bernie.

The former U.S. Senator and Secretary of State and Democratic candidate for President may not be a familiar foil on Fox News, but that doesn’t mean Bret Baier isn’t ready to interview her. Clinton and rival Bernie Sanders will take part in what has in the recent past been a rare event on the 21st Century Fox-owned outlet, which is generally thought to be more popular among members of the Republican Party. Fox News will broadcast a “town hall” meeting with the two Democratic candidates from Detroit’s Gem Theatre in front of an audience of Michigan voters just one day before the state’s primary.

“It’s not like we don’t cover the Democratic campaign. We cover it every day,” said Baier, in an interview Sunday afternoon. “This is an opportunity for them to reach out to our audience,” he said, which happens to be the largest among cable-news outlets.

Tonight’s event will mark the first time Baier has interviewed Clinton since 2014, he said. That lack of access does not mean his line of questioning to Democratic candidates will be any less informed. “I’ve seen many an interview with them, and obviously followed their campaigns very closely,” said Baier. “It’s not like I’m a stranger.” The one-hour event takes place Monday night at 6 p.m. eastern.

2. i do believe

foreign policy will be a topic.



......While CNN broadcast a Democratic debate Sunday night, Baier said he believes Fox News will find subjects worthy of coverage. “The topics that people care about are the economy and national security,” he said. Fox News producers will “watch the debate and study it and fill in the blanks, perhaps with what was not being covered.”

6. Glad is just one hour!

Hopefully everyone remembers to be and act professional. Especially they should know many HRC supporters will be watching. If anything they should be in their best behavior since they could have a chance to gain new viewers, perhaps. Plus they the media will be also watched by other media all over the US and even worldwide. Please, stay classy!

7. I was just watching Fox News.

They said this is a great opportunity for the Democratic candidates to be seen by a much larger audience, and the Fox News watchers who don't watch anything else!

And they are planning to 'correct the record' on what Hillary said to Bernie about the auto bailouts - which should be very important to Michigan voters.

30 minutes apiece.
