VIDEO: Bret Baier Interviewing Obama Vs. Bret Baier Interviewing Bush
Yesterday, Fox News anchor Bret Baier aired his 19-minute exclusive interview with President Obama, where he frequently interjected and interrupted the President. (Raw Story counted 16 such instances.) The right wing gave Baier kudos for the interview, saying he “showed us how a genuine professional TV journalist works.”
Baier’s tenacity, however, seems reserved only for Democratic presidents. His interviews with President Bush were far friendlier, with questions like, “What are you reading now?” and “Do you believe that there hasn’t been a terrorist attack on U.S. soil in more than seven years because of the policies your administration has implemented?”
Today on Fox News, Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace defended Baier’s technique, saying that he needed to get in more questions and prevent Obama from “giving talking points.” But Baier had no problem with allowing Bush to give talking points in interviews. ThinkProgress has compiled some moments of Baier’s final interview with Bush versus his recent interview with Obama. Watch it:
This compilation doesn’t even include Baier’s infamous January 2008 documentary “George W. Bush: Fighting to the Finish,” on which he remarked:
We talked a lot about President Lincoln. And there’s going to be a lot of people out there who watch this hour and say, is he trying to equate himself with Lincoln?
I tell you what — he thinks about Lincoln and the tough times that he had during the Civil War. 600,000 dead. The country essentially hated him when he was leaving office.
And the President reflects on that. This is a President who is really reflecting on his place in history.
Note that despite Baier’s attempts to back up Bush’s delusional comparison, Lincoln wasn’t “hated” when he left office; he was assassinated just after being re-elected by an overwhelming margin.

That Bret guy is creepy…
March 18th, 2010 at 4:38 pmBret Baier is just Brit Hume without the excessive scowl and complete lack of emotion.
A complete hack, a journalistic fraud. And qualified only to host a show on Fox.
I hear they’re going to give a news hour to Griff “Teabag The White House” Jenkins, too. ;-)

No big surprise. Murdock demands that conservatives be treated as fragile little flowers.

Baier seemed more like a second-rate hack than a “professional” journalist.

Bush likes soft balls.
March 18th, 2010 at 4:41 pmOn 9/11 America was under attack for 102 minutes. For 102 minutes George W. Bush did absolutely nothing.
Yeah, he’s awesome.

March 18th, 2010 at 4:42 pm“I tell you what — he thinks about Lincoln and the tough times that he had during the Civil War. 600,000 dead. The country essentially hated him when he was leaving office.”
See, in Baier’s right wing mind this is true because the South DID hate Lincoln, and that’s the part of the country that now makes up the base of the right wing. Their reality and understanding of history is confined to the inside of their own heads.

BAIER: Monday in Ohio, you called for courage in the health care debate. At the same time, House Speaker Pelosi was saying this to reporters about the deem and pass rule: “I like it, this scenario, because people don’t have to vote on the Senate bill.” Is that the kind of courage that you’re talking about?
Priceless!
Unprofessional. It’s a clear sign of someone who has an agenda, or an ax to grind. He’d flunk a Journalism 101 final with that sort of crap.
March 18th, 2010 at 4:47 pmWhat would Fox “News” do to a Democratic President if he behaved the exact same way as Bush on 9/11?

after lincoln left office he retired to his ranch in illinois and practiced law pro bono until he died of stoke at the age of 72. in later years he and jefferson davis became best friends after davis had a change of heart and helped usher in and enlightened era of civil rights for blacks in the former confederacy.

STORM must have been positively livid with the job Baier did on the Bush interview, no? I mean, since “letting him off easy” was practically all that particular interview consisted of.
March 18th, 2010 at 4:52 pmThis is not news to progressives because we already know that Fuchs Noose is a slime pit that employs every slimy far rw loon it can get its’ hands on. Fuchs Noose has never had any respect for President Obama, but it doesn’t seem to bother him. He’s a man of high intelligence and strong character.
For the trolls–We African Americans especially have known all of our lives that many of you don’t have any respect for us. Hell, in some of your minds, we’re considered barely human. Believe me, just like myself, President Obama has known people like you all of his life, and he can deal with you very easily by doing exactly what he’s been doing so far: By ignoring the hell out of you.
Although you think you matter, in reality, you don’t matter to the president, people of color, immigrants, and progressives. The best wasy to describe you is that you’re a bump in the road that we progressives will roll right over and continue on our journey toward making this country a true example of American Exceptionalism where no one is discriminated against and we stand not against each other but with each other.

March 18th, 2010 at 4:54 pmIm not commenting on this particular post/subject but if your a journalist and ask a question you should allow the questionee to answer the question without interruption. The same goes for the questionee to not interrupt the questioner until they have finished speaking. This is not to favor the interviewer or the intereviewee but to allow the audience to decide, without bias, what they will decide.

hey stormfront,
March 18th, 2010 at 4:56 pmi heard you’ve finally admitted you’re homosexual.
what does one buy someone for thei coming out party?
I just read on Huffington Post that this reporter,in an unsual manner, kept inetrrupting the President, and he did it an obvious way.
March 18th, 2010 at 4:56 pmI wasn’t surprised at Fox reporter’s behavior when I read it.
Obama should not have waisted his time with this young reporter who has another agenda,with ill intentions beyond just simply reporting.
@19 Wesley got it Right says:
When was Bush EVER challenged like that in a interview? Not that I saw.
March 18th, 2010 at 4:56 pmBaier tried to use the interview to walk all over Obama by interrupting and cutting the president off. That is typical for Fox News people. That tactic did not work because Obama did not back down. Baier should have known better than to take on someone who has double his IQ. Despite the tactics Obama got to state his positions on Fox so the viewers could hear him uncensored. In addition, Fox viewers got to hear and see the president first hand without the usual Fox spin. I think that makes it a win even if Fox viewers still disagree with Obama.
March 18th, 2010 at 4:56 pmYou mean like the woman that claimed she was going to lose her house over her medical bills when it turned out she didn’t even have a mortgage =AD=

The rest of your argument strikes me as energetic rationalization. Especially in light of the fact that Faux News has openly declared itself “the voice of opposition” to Obama.
The point, Wesley, is that Faux News is the media arm of the Republican Party, and not a legitimate news outlet.

March 18th, 2010 at 4:59 pm–
Lincoln was at least looking for a way to end the war. Bush didn’t give a f**k as long as the cash kept flowing into his and his buddies bank accounts.
You know the Faux team gave the jerk a big pep talk on how to try and get under Obama’s skin…

The footage from Baier’s interview with Bush proves that it is NOT NEUTRAL and does NOT treat all politicians the same.

No, you misunderstand. I read conservapedia to understand the correct way of doing biblical translations, then I do my own translation. It is my translation about what the serpent really was.

March 18th, 2010 at 5:07 pmWhat the President was saying although he barely could be heard with that moron interrupting him is that all the special deals will be gotten rid of (if the Republicans don’t block that) and all terms will be across the board. Why is that confusing for idiots like DRIP.
March 18th, 2010 at 5:07 pmBater’s interview with Obama was done to give fuel to hate America radio and possibly future campaign ads.
B!tch Laura Ingram took one phrase of what Obama had to say and played it over and over giving her prejudiced freak audience the impression Obama was being uppity again.
Also, because Bater so continuously rudely interrupted the president, to the hate America freaks, Obama lost in the conversation.
March 18th, 2010 at 5:08 pmBush/Cheney/Rove, They pay “journalists” for good press, propaganda is another name,. Of course, it’s just a measure of the respect they give to the citizens of this country. Pure cynicism, warranted when you see the large viewership Fox news holds. Just shows there’s something wrong with this country.

“There were a couple of people who basically wrote about our demise come last November [and] December and were, I guess, rooting for us to go away,” said Bill Shine, senior vice president for programming at the Fox News Channel. “With this particular group of people in power right now, and the honeymoon they’ve had from other members of the media, does it make it a little bit easier for us to be the voice of opposition on some issues?”

The only fraud of a president is your god, Bush who was never elected and had to steal both elections…
Obama kept his cool, while the plan was surely to rattle him with interruptions. The interview was a big net win for Obama, and the reporter was shown to be a petulant tool. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ailes himself was being fed wirelessly into Bret’s earpiece every time Obama began to advance an argument convincingly.
I certainly hope that will be the last time Obama is on Fox for a while, even though he wins each time he demonstrates he is not the villain he’s relentlessly painted to be throughout each day on that channel.

The difference is simply in the two interviews that are here compared. If you found Bush getting off the hook regarding controversial topics (the war, Patriot Act, etc.) by Baier, then it would be a comparison. But this interview with Bush is simply a good-bye interview, nothing more. The interview with Obama is regarding an issue that has not yet been decided. The two just aren’t comparable in this context.
I haven’t been following this closely, but it seems as if you have avoided answering the question above. Do you have any record of Bush being challenged at any time, anything like this, in an interview?

Indeed.
Or what what Fox do to a Dem president that had invaded a country that nothing to do with 9/11; didn’t end up having WMD’s; cost nearly a $1-trillion; after memos were leaked that we were lied to by said president during the run-up during the war; presided over the biggest lost of jobs since president Hoover; destroyed our reputation to the point that he had a shoe thrown at him by during a foreign interview; who’s own staff had outed a CIA agent; whose VP actually shot another person in the face (and with the suspicion of alcohol involved); and who played air guitar while a major US city was flooded and without power while people were trapped there.

March 18th, 2010 at 5:34 pmAll that said, again because of the nature of Baier’s two interviews, they are not really comparable.
But where were any of this type of hard-hitting interviews with Bush?
And was it appropriate for Baier to give Bush such an easy “exit” interview given the very controversial track-record of the entire Bush presidency? (Needless war in Iraq; Bin Laden still not caught; huge job loss; bad recession; Katrina; deficits, etc.)

Wesley, I see your point, but it’s an extremely weak one.
We have two interviews, two presidents, a single interviewer on a network known and acknowledged to favor one political viewpoint over the other.
Given all of these circumstances, you’re asking us to attribute the difference in tone between the two interviews of sitting presidents, not to the inherent and well-known political bias of the interviewer and his network, but rather to the relative point in the president’s term.
Keep in mind that the Baier interview with Bush took place in January of 2008, with a full year left in his presidency. It should hardly have been looked at as the sort of “last weeks of senior year” atmosphere that you suggest. For instance, Bush made a priority of making permanent the expansion of powers in the FISA law. Surely a responsible journalist could have pressed him on that issue — so controversial, so pregnant with implications of government power vs. individual rights — with every bit of the doggedness, even rudeness with which Baier pressed Obama on health care. Yet we saw none of that.

Why? That was never the basis of my argument. Perhaps you might go to my initial post, read it objectively, and you will realize just that. Of course it may be difficult to find as there are unfortunately some who find objectivity to be abhorrent, and so thus it was voted down.
Wesley, Baier represented Fox News when he did the interview, and since you want to look for a comparable interview, there are countless softball interviews that Fox did with Bush with nary a challenge…As for decorum, yes, that is how cable news is run, but I somehow find it unbelievable that Fox would interrupt a Republican constantly like Baier did with Obama…

Your quite right Wesley. The purpose of the Bush interview was to kiss his ass. The purpose of the Obama interview was an attempt to kick his ass. Completely different. Now, an ass kissing interview is f(cking easy, as we have been witnessing from Fox for years. An ass kicking interview is much more difficult and showing complete disrespect for Obama by interrupting and not listening shows just how unprepared Bret was.

There is simply no comparison, Baier wasn’t that far along in his career in 2003 to have an interview with the president of the United Sates. Thus he couldn’t have asked questions related to such controversial topics as the war or Patriot Act (which was of course passed before 2003).

March 18th, 2010 at 5:56 pmAre you frickin’ serious? I have some respect for your debate style, but this is making me question that assessment.
First of, your initial argument was that the two interviews were different because one was a sort of “exit interview” and the other was in the thick of a president’s agenda campaign.
I pointed out that the Baier-Bush hagiography took place with a full year left for Bush to govern and serious goals still left to accomplish. Now you seem to be subtly shifting your argument in order to maintain the primary objective: maintain the “not directly comparable” plausibility. In order to do this you’re suggesting that a journalist would have less reason to press a president about an issue that few Americans really cared about deeply but which had serious implications for the power of the office, than he would on an issue about which most Americans had passionate opinions one way or the other.
That strikes me as absurd.

I can’t help but laugh at those who shout about “freedom” while they exist as willing slaves to a failed ideology.

What, I ask, did Bush do?
He did nothing. He sat in a chair while a group of elementary school kids read him “My Pet Goat”. After he was told of the attack he sat in a chair while elementary school students read him “My Pet Goat”.
When his advisers finally dragged him out of the class room (probably because he wanted to know how the story ended, and was afraid the words would be too complex for him so he couldn’t read it on his own) he took off in Air Force One, and ran like a frightened school girl (apologies to all girls out there that are braver than the chimp-in-chief). He kept that up for the rest of the day.

Oh really, and why are we out there protesting?
I love how you’ve attacked me, and you can’t even get your posts straight…
Reform goes deeper than money…If we are to have reform, we must first address whether our schools are addressing the needs and values of our students. If we’re giving them a curriculum that only encourages conformity and adherence to the values of the dominant group or culture, then we are not engaging our students. Why are our students disinterested in what our schools have to offer? Could it be that they are resisting our attempts to impose a Eurocentric curriculum on them?
i LEAVE you with a quote
“Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.”
— Paulo Freire (Pedagogy of the Oppressed)
I agree that the public education system can do more, but what I’m talking about is modeling ways on how students themselves can create the change they need to better their lives instead of waiting for politicians in Washington D.C. insulated by the bubble of their bloated salaries and the forked-tongues of lobbyists.

Still it is weird to see the phrase “RIGHT-WING UNIVERSITY.” Isn’t that an oxymoron?
March 18th, 2010 at 6:17 pmBush, being the AWOL coward that he was, would never have allowed himself to be interviewed by his critics…someone like KO or Rachael Maddow. They’d have exposed him as the boy-king sans the crown and robe. Of course, they would have asked the tough questions, then let Dimson make a fool of himself as he’d try to explain himself.
Truly a pathetic performance by the RNC network. Kudos to President Obmama for his willingness to engage in an honest dialog…too bad the fairly unbalanced network had no interest in the same.
March 18th, 2010 at 6:18 pmBuscho also announced that Iraq was behind the 9/11 attack before the dust had settled. Then they stuck to that story despite being wrong. For my money, invading a country “by mistake” is just as bad as naked and open aggression. Bushco turned every living American into a war criminal and generations yet unborn will pay the price in blood. In light of that sad fact, arguing about money is just stupid and evil.
March 18th, 2010 at 6:18 pmAnother juxtaposition I’d like to see: Bush did an interview with an Irish journalist in which she interrupted him and was quite combative. As I recall, Fox News reacted to that interview with outrage and called for her to be punished or fired by her paper.

I disagree. We’ve been laughing at your dumb ass since you showed up.
I personally think my translation of Exodus 3 is f**king hilarious myself, but what is even funnier is the reaction from the Reich-wingers. Their reaction proves I have a sense of humor!
–
Haha. They’re just jealous they didn’t think of it themselves.
Instead of talking out everything that’s “liberal” in the bible, why not just replace it with a bit of crude humor?
I thought that is all it was to begin with. Ever read “The Song of Solomon”?
March 18th, 2010 at 6:29 pm–
Haha. “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine” and “say me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.” Turns out, those ancient goat-herders had a pretty good sense of humor after all. :D

I think both of them got so frustrated at what the RNC was giving them to work with that they bagged it.

Since this is a thread that criticizes SaudiFAUX, my guess is that our “new” guests are interns at that pathetic excuse for a news network. Intelligent RNC apologists have realized that the RNC is beyond all apologies.
March 18th, 2010 at 6:44 pmYou know “schools” like Liberty have law schools, right? What really scares me is that they have the occasion to have graduates pass the bar.

I’ve already posted this link, but I will again for those who are having trouble keeping up.
Um, your link doesn’t prove your point about media bias. I watched the clip, and Stupak wasn’t being aggressively interviewed. You have failed. Try again?
————————————————————–
Let’s try stepping outside of your preconceptions just for a moment. The clip above is approx. 1 minute of an hour long interview. Obviously it has been edited. Additionally the most aggressive parts were displayed for Think Progress to make their point. The Stupak interview was only 9 minutes long, ans there was certainly enough aggression shown by the interviewers to make a similarly brief cut. Such editing will make any point one wants to make. All I’m asking is that you view the clips objectively. If objectivity is impossible, any further debate with you is clearly pointless.
March 18th, 2010 at 6:55 pmWhen prominent Republicans are interviewed on FOX News, the interviewers actually ask very few questions, as their lips spend most of the time firmly planted on the guest’s anus

For the record, I actually agree that Obama was poorly handled in that interview. My point all along has been that the two comparisons don’t in my mind demonstrate anything. I would have been more convinced if they commented only on the Obama interview, since that was the frustrating interview. Ofa different point, I don’t completely agree with Obama on HCR, because I would prefer to see a single payer system; the kinf Kucinich was holding out for. Additionally, I agree with Stupak about the federal funds to abortion.
Now I guess if that makes me a troll (whatever that means) then oh well. I guess if you have to resort to name calling due to your inability to construct a coherent argument, that is your limitation, not mine.
March 18th, 2010 at 7:04 pmCouldn’t Fox have at least found a journalist to conduct the interview. Maybe Palin could give them some pointers from one of her journalism classes.
March 18th, 2010 at 7:05 pm@295: excuse me not 1 hour but 19 minutes. However, this does not undermine the point.
March 18th, 2010 at 7:13 pmWesley, I trust you noted my assertion that you do not merit the tag “troll”
I also trust that you don’t mind being called “Wesley”.
However, while you may have objections to some of the arguments advanced here as lacking in coherence, I hope you’ll recognize that mine was not necessarily one of them.

I hadn’t noted that, but I do now. The feeling is mutual, there is no shortage of incoherent arguments, which when confronted resort a baser level of conversation.

When the deck isn’t stacked for him? Like, having to deal with the worst economic crisis in eighty years? That kind of “stacked for him”? Like having to wind down two foreign wars while maintaining the fragile progress so far gained? Or struggling to achieve a domestic policy initiative that has eluded administrations dating back to Truman’s? All while facing an obstructionist minority opposition whose tenacity and hypocrisy sets new standards for both?
That kind of “deck stacked for him”?
Thanks for your perspective. Do let us know when you settle on a new name, won’t you?
March 18th, 2010 at 7:53 pmI don’t know why so much fuss about the hard time Baier was giving to the President Obama compared to the softballs with Bush. In polite societies we do not challenge mentally disabled. It always amuses me when right wingers use the term “main stream media” with scorn and Rupert Murdoch owns like 50% of everything. Fox News and right wingers are just a sad reminder where a nation sedated by religion, home schooling, alcohol and cheap food might turn into.

March 18th, 2010 at 8:10 pmThis Lincoln business is strange and creepily foreboding. Both Lincoln and Obama are lanky Illinoisans who quickly ascended to the White House. Lincoln was hated by a bunch of racist traitors (Confederates) and true to history, Obama is hated by the same bunch of yahoos. And I have no doubt that some of Baier’s fans are dreaming of doing to Obama what the racist traitors did to Lincoln a hundred and fifty years ago.
March 18th, 2010 at 8:13 pmI immediately picture Stephen Colbert, with his hands over his ears, yelling loudly “nanananananaaaaaaa!”
If Republicans don’t acknowledge it, it doesn’t exist.
What makes me laugh is that a GOOD, LEGITIMATE “interviewer” usually LISTENS to the reply after asking a question in order to create follow-up questions.
Which leaves me with the belief that his was a tactic that was planned. As if I didn’t believe that anyway…
It’s extremely sad that Fox “journalists” are so shallow and ignorant to the facts that they can’t even have an intelligent debate about the issues. They have to resort to complete rudeness and interruption in order to keep their followers bent over and not asking questions.
Michael Steele’s reply to the CBO numbers is “they’re lying.” Wow…good point? I’m starting to wonder if Republicans even know what’s actually in the bill…
Instead, they’re focused on the process of it (you can’t debate a bill you don’t know anything about), which we should expect, because after record-breaking uses of Reconciliation and Deem & Pass, Republicans probably know those processes pretty well.
I believe Baier constantly interrupted in order to prevent Obama from actually proving him wrong or getting a complete talking point across. It really shows how desperate Fox is to smear this President. You wouldn’t even KNOW Obama was President from the amount of disrespect Baier exhibited towards him. Baier was trying to corner Obama, but he ended up looking pathetic.
I understand interjecting if Obama were to say something Baier may have disagreed with or taken issue with, but it was clearly obvious Baier has no policy knowledge, and I guess it’s better to look like a jerk than to look like a fool….which just so happens to be Fox’s meme anyway…

Bret Baier was bringing forth questions from Americans who are never represented by the main stream media … citizens whose questions and concerns are usually filtered out by reporters and journalists who couldn’t care less about conservative or even moderate points of view.
Bret Baier went into the interview thinking he would enhance his career by scoring political points in the interview by doing what Fox people do the best, cutting off and talking over anyone with a different viewpoint. Baier lost because Obama did not let him use those tactics. In the end Obama got to finish his answers and Baier ended up sounding obnoxious.
March 18th, 2010 at 9:16 pmIt was very clear (even without this comparison)how rude and disrespectful Bret Baier was yesterday. I was glad to see President Obama walk into the lion’s den to PROVE the incompentency of the Fox News team. Even Fox realizes how they FAILED. This video belongs on Youtube’s major fail list.
March 18th, 2010 at 9:20 pmits worse somebody should digg up an interview Brett Baer did with Donald Rumsfield in 2006 just befor Rumsfield got fired and its full of brown nosing fluff its diegusting it should of been the last interview for this idiot but yet again he works for Fox newa
March 18th, 2010 at 10:10 pmI do believe that Brett did a better job of exposing BO as an empty suit than Rick Warren did in his interview at Saddleback Church.
I’m actually surprised BO didn’t answer, “that’s above my pay grade”.

Folks, pebrady has made a breakthrough with his punctuation but not so much with his grammar. Kitty is a proper noun, which should be capitalized. Also there should be a comma after Kitty and I’d should be capitalized as well…

March 18th, 2010 at 10:41 pmKitty-it’s rather common for there to be punctuation, grammar and spelling errors when posting on blog sites. Your effort to correct such errors, however, does not enhance or strengthen your point(s). When the “spelling police” arrive, it can only mean the argument is weak.
March 18th, 2010 at 10:46 pmtrue…dr. hunt…I may look petty and I would never be a spelling/grammar you know, but in my defensiveness, I came across so…if you look at my conversations with pebrady, I’ll have to plead…
Perhaps it might have been like I was using it to mock him for calling me a moron and an idiot…
March 18th, 2010 at 10:51 pm#305 betweenames-great post…and i wholeheartedly agree. Let me take it one step further…you’re just now beginning to see “some” of the lame-stream media back away from the slobbering love affair with Barack. It probably has a lot to do with the poll numbers, which are heading south in a big time way. But it’s more than that. Their blatant “shielding” of Obama has more to do with perserving what little credibility and dignity they have left, because they were so reticent to investigate his radical roots, dismissed his previous religious and political affliations with the brush stroke of “journalistic latitude”, and are essentially, responsible for what agenda is now being thrust upon the American people.
Notice that PMSNBC is STILL protecting Obama? It’s no coincidence that Immelt is on Obama’s economic advisory committee. It’s their bed, and they have to sleep with it. It truly does represent the year(s) that journalism died here in America.
Bret did as decent a job as one could under the circumstances. Like you wrote, Obama can pontificate for an hour without ever “saying” anything of substance. It’s all vaporware and hyperbolic dictum.
