Ever since it was announced yesterday that the president will be giving an exclusive one on one interview to Fox News Channel tonight (the subject of which will be the "Health Care Reform Bill"), and since Bret Baier, host of Fox News Special Report (who will be doing the interviewing) asked the general public to submit questions to the station's website, I have been trying to come up with one. The first obvious question would be: "Why Fox News, Mr. President? You've been more than a little critical of that outfit for quite a while now. Your administration has accused them of distorting the facts and being biased against you and your agenda. In fact, your spokesman even stated that they are not really a legitimate news source. So why choose Fox for your last ditch effort to salvage your extremely unpopular attempt to impose government control over one sixth of the economy?"
I decided not to submit that question because the answer is obvious: More people (thank God) depend on Fox News (especially Special Report) to keep them informed, in a fair and balanced way, on what is happening in the world than on any other news source.
Fortunately, the Independent Institute's Beacon Blog today published better questions than any mere blogger could conjure. Click on the below link to read them; I'm sure Bret Baier has already done so.
