Best Interviews of 2020 – Atty General William Barr

Calm, clear, and incisive, here is Attorney General William Barr answering well-formed questions from Fox News’ anchor Maria Bartiromo.

In about 36 minutes total, Bartiromo and Barr cover most of the major news and political issues of June, 2020. It is well-edited, and it is worth every serious American’s time to listen to this material carefully.

Of course, if you prefer interviews that turn into pugilistic shouting matches, you have many choices every day on all the networks. This one, thankfully, is different. The interview is a credit to Fox News, Ms Bartiromo, and AG Barr.

One reply on “Best Interviews of 2020 – Atty General William Barr”

Fox wisely chose Maria Bartiromo for this interview. Brett Baier would have also been a good choice.

Thank goodness they did not give this job to Chris Wallace. It would surely have degenerated into 36 minutes of nit-picking “gotcha” questions.

Speaking of Wallace, I hope Fox will start testing other anchors for “Fox News Sunday”. I groan internally every time I hear “I’m Chris Wallace” at the front end of that show, and I usually give up on it well before the end.

Fox is still the best choice for the ~50% of our country that still leans conservative. The rest of the major networks are hideously biased. Their “panels” usually include a person from the Left, a person from the far Left, and a person from the lunatic Left. And that’s why they’d call it a “balanced panel.” Phooey.
