Bret Baier, discussing his lengthy tenure at Fox News, explained President Trump's contentious yet accessible relationship with the media. During an interview with David Remnick on The New Yorker Radio Hour, Baier highlighted how Trump navigates a 'cat and mouse' dynamic with media outlets, including Fox. Despite frequently critiquing the media, Trump remains more available than past presidents, often personalizing media interactions. Baier recalled a tense interview where he confronted Trump on conspiracy theories, emphasizing the dual nature of Trump as both a critic and an accessible political figure.
I think it is this cat-and-mouse game. You know, for all of the things he says about the media. Again, he's reaching out and doing interviews with the same people he says are nasty.
I wish he wouldn't use it, he said, keeping Trump's private response to his displeasure off the record.
