Fox Hosts Do the Pre-Debate Media Circuit

Answering questions before they ask them.

Come 9:00 p.m., it will be Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace who will be asking questions of the 10 candidates who have made it to the primetime debate, but in the days leading up to tonight, it is the three hosts have been answering questions.

In interviews with publications that included The New York Times, Politico, The Washington Post, and this blog, the debate hosts opened up about how they’ve been preparing.

Kelly and Wallace in Politico, on how they will try to elicit something other than boilerplate from candidates:

“One of the biggest challenges we face is that, unlike on our respective shows where you can interrupt the candidate if he strays, there are rules for these debates and you have to respect them unless you want to restart the clock,” Kelly said.
