Stelter Calls Fox News a ‘Trump Campaign Field Office,’ ‘Trump Surrogate’ Baier Interviews Harris

EXCERPT:

STELTER: "I think Trump refused to debate Kamala Harris again, so Harris did the next best thing. She booked a debate on Fox News. And that‘s what this was tonight. She essentially walked into a Trump campaign field office, because anchor Bret Baier, who is a, you know, a solid journalist, he is also incredibly sympathetic to Trump because that‘s what his fans want, that‘s what his viewers want, his viewers want him to represent the Trump point of view. So it was almost as if you had a Trump surrogate interviewing Kamala Harris. And look, adversarial interviews are a good thing. We should root for them. We should want more of them. You know, you‘re so fantastic at adversarial interviews where we challenge newsmaker, then we get the answers out of them. But yes, this was a Rorschach test. Some people think Baier was mansplaining, other people think Harris was filibustering. I think, at the end of the day, this is all about one word, the word 'tough.' It showed that Harris was tough. She went into the so-called FOX den, and that‘s how Harris' campaign is promoting it tonight, they‘re saying she went into the FOX den and look what happened."
