Donald Trump brings back the tradition of the Super Bowl interview - Poynter
Briefly

This year's Super Bowl will feature an interview with President Donald Trump conducted by Bret Baier of Fox News. The interview aims to explore the changes made by the Trump administration during the early days of his presidency and will be pre-recorded, airing mostly during the pre-game show. Following the Super Bowl, parts of the interview will be broadcast on 'Special Report with Bret Baier.' There is speculation about the interview's tone—whether Baier will challenge Trump on controversial actions or provide a more lenient format. The presidential Super Bowl interview tradition dates back to 2004 with George W. Bush.
This year, Bret Baier of Fox News will interview President Trump during the Super Bowl, focusing on his administration's changes since Inauguration and the first 100 days.
The presidential Super Bowl interview, which began in 2004, traditionally involves light conversation instead of hard-hitting questions, with past interviews focusing on personal topics.
As Baier's interview with Trump approaches, there are mixed expectations about how confrontational the discussion will be given Baier's fluctuating reputation as a journalist.
While previous Super Bowl interviews have been relatively soft, the public's eyes are on Baier to see if he will challenge Trump on his controversies.
