Awkward: Geraldo And Bret Baier Take Different Sides On Health Care
Amidst the myriad of last night’s health care coverage, there was an extremely interesting moment between Geraldo Rivera and Bret Baier on Fox News. In what seemed to be the first on-air interaction between the two since he criticized Baier for interrupting President Obama last week, Geraldo appeared to take a decidedly optimistic tone on the historic health care vote, asking Baier to at least consider the possibility that it will not be a disaster for America.
Some background: after Baier interviewed President Obama last week, there was significant debate over what Baier described himself as a contentious tone. Predictably, the adjudgment of the interview technique fell predictably down partisan lines: those on the left saw Baier as combative, while those on the right lauded his persistence. Not surprisingly, the iconoclastic Geraldo was the one talking head on Fox News that was somewhat critical of Baier’s methods.
Perhaps even more interesting was Geraldo’s optimistic – if not celebratory – reaction to the historic passing of health care legistlation. After an awkward sign-off with Baier, Geraldo began to run down the many benefits of the reform, and counter-intuitive take compared to the rest of last night’s punditry that appeared on FNC last night.
