Bret Baier: Fox News Anchoring Spot "A Job Of A Lifetime"

AccessAtlanta:

While the opinion makers at Fox News such as Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity get the headlines, former Atlantan Bret Baier brings a humble, old-school presence to the network.

And Fox News loyalists quickly found the news anchor likable and watchable. He is drawing an average of 2 million viewers a night this year, up nearly 40 percent from the first six months of 2008, when Brit Hume was at the helm....

"It's a job of a lifetime for a guy like me who loves politics and being in the middle of things," he said. "I'd be happy to retire at this job."

I wonder... when you sign a deal with Rupert, do you have to sign it in blood?
I wonder... does the new hire orientation include surgery to split your tongue in half?
I wonder... the first day on the job, if you spent it with your pants around your knees in Ruperts office?

Hmmm...

[fairplaystacy]

Question: Is he lying?

He needs to get out more. The Job Of A Lifetime for me is the one Elliot DiMauro had on JUST SHOOT ME. If you're not willing to go to a crossroads at midnight to sign the Latin/Aramaic employment contact called "Pactum Pactorum" to get it, it's not The Job Of A Lifetime.

A Job of a Life Time?:

As long as its for truth, fair and balanced reporting.
Otherwise your just a shill for the corporation and have sold your soul for money?

[PuppaX]

The closest comparison is one of the girls that lives with Hef.

[AntiSheep13]

Boring! Wasn't this guy manufactured by FisherPrice?

[lmvd3]

He's got the awful Faux hair.

[InfosolutionWiz]

BLAWAHAHAHAHA!! LOL!

[Okieborn]

A job at McDonalds isn't quite up there with Fox News !!!
Washed Up Repubs. probably love his show !!! LOL !!!

[XME]

While he's certainly one of the least offensive people on Fox (other than Shep, who I actually like), there's something about him that reminds me of a Ken doll.

[rcwblessed]

He doesn't have very high standards.

[flossophy]

Bret's standards are an order of magnitude higher than Rather's, Mitchell's or Katie's.

[rcwblessed]

You're entitled to your opinion, but I don't have to agree with it.

[Disdain]

He has a job and most of those ranting against him, would give their right arm to be in his shoes.

[dax49]

he does realize that no reliable news agency will touch him now, right?

[polarcap2]

you're doing a good job, Brett, of keeping the news fair and balanced - the only network without a tingly-legged anchor spewing Bambam gush

[dax49]

don't worry, greta is still carrying on a slobbering love affair with palin

[flossophy]

Imagine... what if Palin were Pr0gressive?

What would you think about her coverage in the media?

[FHTB]

Evens out when you have Chris practically coming when he sees Obama on TV.

[mediamarv]

He's right! Only other option was Domino delivery. And if I were casting a film, he's my pizza guy. Got the look down!!

How come in real life I never see anyone but Republicans and Ben Nelson with the "Helmut Hair" haircut.

[YOUCANKEEPTHECHANGE]

Just take a look at the big picture; republicans are much much better looking than democrats. For example, members of the US senate. WOW no comparison. Then take a look at your ACORN ally cats compared to the Tea Party people. Wow again no comparison; the republicans are so much more attractive. There are some good looking democrats but very few when compared to the parties as a whole.

[dax49]

yeah, like charles krauthamer, fred barnes, karl rove, dick cheney, and those buff gentlemen like ru$h, $ean, and Savage- real lookers, all

[GeorgeP922]

Man I love ya, if it weren't for people like you, the internets would never be the same.
