Fox News News People: We are Not Sean Hannity
/
The people that actually cover news at Fox News, keep banging their head against the wall, trying to explain the fact that they are not like Sean Hannity.
Bret Baier did his best to, once again distanced himself from Hannity.
“Sean Hannity’s show is not ‘Special Report,'” said Baier, referencing his own program. “The problem sometimes is that Fox gets painted with a broad brush.”
Baier made the remarks during a panel hosted by Washington Post political reporter Dan Balz. Despite the comment, Baier still tried to make nice with Hannity and his show.
“I think Sean Hannity, for what — his opinion, he does an amazing job with bringing forward his thoughts on things, similar to an opinion page of a newspaper,” he said.
Baier also pointed out that the "real" news Reporters at FNC also can't land an interview with President Trump.
“My requests, Chris Wallace’s request, for an interview with the president has not been answered,” said Baier. “I last interviewed candidate Trump almost 500 days ago and have asked every week since for an interview, sometimes twice a week.”
As for Chris Wallace, he also is a bit tired of being lumped in with shows like Hannity's and Fox and Friends. Talking to the AP, Wallace said, “I don’t think they recognize that they have a role at Fox News and we have a role at Fox News. I don’t know what’s in their head. I just think it’s bad form.”
