Did Bret Baier graduate, flunk out or quit?

[edit]

Stating that Bret Baier "attended" DePauw University, Class of 1992, makes it sound like he might have graduated. How long did he last with his fellow '92 classmates? Probably he made it to his Sophomore year because he had joined a frat house. In any case, his academic credentials far, far exceed those of some of his colleagues of Fox News, namely Hannity & Beck.

Bret Baier, Career

[edit]

My last version was: "On October 2024, Baier met with presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Fox News for her first Interview on this network[1] It turned into a combative debate[2], because „Baier chose a very different way” compared to the sit-down he had with Trump in June 2023.[3] One of the key questions of the interview applied to Trump`s favorite topic, the „enemy from within” the U.S.[4] Baier later admitted to mistakenly playing an incorrect video clip during the interview."[5]

Several times this posting was diminished, especially by anonymous users into: "On October 16, 2024, Baier met with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Fox News for her first interview on this network. The interview was described as "contentious" and "fiery", with Baier frequently interrupting Harris and the two talking over each other."

In my opinion this is a banal and incomplete reduction concerning the political importance of the interview by Baier and its impact (about 9,2 million viewers according to Fox News) and also nelgects the fact that Baier himself admitted that he presented a wrong clip. Compared with all other passages within the chapter "Career" it should not remain a "stump"! Peter Christian Riemann (talk) 14:09, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, User:FMSky would like to get some reaction from you. Thanks Peter Christian Riemann (talk) 06:03, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why did my edit get removed?

[edit]

I added information to the interview with Kamala Harris, adding that her team repeatedly tried ended the interview near the end, despite Harris being 17 minutes late to the interview. I added a source. Why was it removed? NicoConservative (talk) 02:39, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ONUS; WP:NOTNEWS is my guess. Prcc27 (talk) 03:34, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'd argue that it's important information that people should know when making a decision about a president.

What does a presidential election have to do with Bret Baier? Prcc27 (talk) 02:48, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not about Baier, it's about the interview. NicoConservative (talk) 03:10, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Then it doesn’t belong on this article. This is a biography article. Prcc27 (talk) 03:15, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is there an article that goes in depth into the interview? NicoConservative (talk) 03:17, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Prcc27 (talk) 03:20, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I know, Wikipedia is just a place for facts, and considering the impact of the interview, I think it should be added somewhere. NicoConservative (talk) 03:30, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deteled career information by User:FMSky

[edit]

Anonymous user https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:FMSky "reverted" on Okt. 30, 2024 an important passage concerning Bret Baiers career: "Roughly 24 hours after his interview, Baier said he made a mistake" in airing a wrong Trump clip, "one of the most contentious of the interview." [6] FMSky´s unbiased argument "out of the blue", was all but: "unnnotable", wheras my argument to reinstall this text as a reduced version of a former edit was: "Noteworthy statement published US-wide", by dozen´s of reliable and serious media. Especially because it was Baier´s own correction of this incident during the interview with Harris and since it was published by a Fox-News daughter-company I assume this deletion to be a willingful act to turn down WIKIPEDIA-rules. Peter Christian Riemann (talk) 14:15, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello FMSky, it would be helpful to get more information why you did discard my changes of the previous edit. Peter Christian Riemann (talk) 06:12, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who cares, its just one random interview. This whole paragraph should be removed to be honest --FMSky (talk) 06:47, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Only a jester would use the word "random" for this interview. It was of course not accidental. Although it is correct in the vein of "internet new-speech" as "contextless". This is why Mr. Baier felt obliged to admit a crucial "mistake".[7] within his career. To be honest, for the sake of Wikipedia, you should remove your deletions, based on personal views, and not on reliable sources. Peter Christian Riemann (talk) 09:38, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
