Fox News anchor Bret Baier faced criticism for his confrontational interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, which he described as feeling like an attempt to 'ice the kicker' due to her late arrival and reduced interview time. Baier noted that the interview, originally set for 25-30 minutes, was cut down to about 20 minutes, starting with Harris arriving 17 minutes late, creating a tense atmosphere. During the interview, Baier pressed Harris on immigration issues, at times interrupting her responses, which led former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson and others to question his journalistic impartiality. Critics pointed out that Baier's style echoed partisan tactics rather than a neutral journalistic approach, while Trump praised Baier for his handling of the interview. The interaction has sparked discussions about media bias and the role of journalists in politically charged interviews.
