Fox News' Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum talk debate coverage, echo chambers, and what to expect from Biden v. Trump
Ahead of Tuesday night's presidential debate hosted by Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace, two of the network's top news anchors spoke with Insider about how they're approaching the event and how they view their role in a polarized atmosphere.
Baier and MacCallum said they undergo daily coronavirus testing at the debate site at the Cleveland Clinic, but their goal remains the same: "Helping voters make a decision."With Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace hosting the first debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden in Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday night, two of the network's top news anchors spoke with Insider about what to expect and how they approach their coverage.
Baier and MacCallum will helm Fox News' pre- and post-debate programming live from Cleveland, where the network has a set erected at the Cleveland Clinic debate site.Jake Lahut: Just to start out, I was wondering if you guys watched the debates growing up and what politics was like for each of you?I was in New Jersey from age zero to 10, so it wasn't a lot of politics watching, but I moved to Atlanta, Georgia, and I became a little bit of a political junkie.
Lahut: What do you think about the notion — or almost conventional wisdom at this point — of Americans being in echo chambers when consuming their news? When it comes to your roles at Fox, are there things you try to do to counter or break through that?I think anybody who chooses to watch what we will do tonight and tomorrow night will — if they don't normally watch Fox — probably say, 'Wow, that's a pretty fair panel. That's a pretty even-handed discussion.
