everything to do with it to the video had nothing to do with it, it was pretty unique. she had not said that before. if she thought the video had nothing to do with it, in those early hours, it s pretty strange that a press release came out blaming the individual crow. greta, have you been getting beat up online over the interview? oh, yeah, but it comes with the territory. bret and i have been around the block enough and sometimes when you have a controversial guest, you re going to get it. there was no surprise. but what do you make of some conservatives saying this is a great love fest? i certainly didn t see it that way. you asked a lot of hard questions on a lot of different issues. but you re saying you can t please everybody. i wasn t attempting to please everybody. i was trying to get information from the viewers and trying to cover the topics. you have a more conversational style. was that in part delivered to try to get hillary clinton to loosen up a bit? for me,
interviews on other stations because it s easier. one place she didn t do an interview was msnbc which spent a lot of time defending her. i have a feeling she practiced for this a lot, too. i d like to know who the stand-ins were for brett and greta. we ll hear from brett and greta a little later on the interview. but the day of the introduce was the day of the announcement that u.s. forces had captured ahmed katallah, a chief suspect in the benghazi attacks. that prompted some commentary on fox and some pushback on other channels. let s take a brief look. what a great thing to announce on an interview at fox news that the perpetrators had been brought to justice. it s all too neat and too cute. i always want to give the benefit of doubt to our authorities, but in this case, it feels too neat. they have lost their minds, whether it s the president
a good chunk of his time drew flack from some anchors at msnbc. the first, count them, eight questions, eight questions were about benghazi. brett asked 15 total, 12 directly were about benghazi. if the fox professionals who picked up this can t lay a glove on glinton, how does is that going to be? joining us now, lauren ashburn, a fox news contributor and former usa today executive who hosts social buzz on the woikt. rick gronell and craig crawford, founder of the trail mix blog and a former columnist for cq. so it seems like brett and greta and fox are getting it from both sides, too hard or too soft is in the interview. and the is most surprising was negative discussion from conservatives going after both of them. we had some people who wrote
christian amanpour. are your competitive juices flowing for your chance to be the first female president of the united states? of america? you can see why she s an experienced journalist. of amer? you can see why she s an experienced journalist. of amer? you can see why she s an experienced journalist. then it was here in this studio where the former secretary of state sat down and brett and greta. angela merkel is very upset that we were bugging her phone. should she be? yes. that was absolutely uncalled for. at one point you write the obama campaign after john mccain selected sarah palin, that they called you to issue something that was dismissive of her and you said no. that s right. i did. i do believe sexism is still a problem. it s not just in politics, it s in journalism and business and all kinds of human endeavors in our country. but brett s decision to spend
see people beating her up over that. nothing is unusual about this interview. it was two anchor format, two of them splitting the time. she was sort of ping-ponging. she was sitting right here where rick was and looking at brett and then looking at greta. it was almost a debate how they divided it up. right. i think greta in particular had a very conversational tone. that comes from having interviewed her all over the world, in afghanistan, war zones. greta has been around the block, as she likes to say, and has interviewed a lot of people. but what distinguished it were the questions she asked. she talked about sexism which hadn t been mentioned up to that point. she talked about richard holbrooke. she talked about the marine in mexico, which has been a cause of hers, trying to get this marine out and elicited a very interesting response from hillary clinton which is i would have been burning up the phone lines, i would have been sending in the envoys. she gave hymn hillary a ch
