ColDayNews 438 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Fox News has had Maj Pete Hegseth of Concerned Veterans for America anchor Fox & Friends First, Kat Timpf anchor America's News HQ... Pete Hegseth also anchored a Fox SR for Fox television stations in 2015. NBC/MSNBC frequently had Keith Olbermann anchor NBC News Special Reports from MSNBC HQ if BriWi or Lester Holt weren't available. At the time, Olbermann hosted Countdown w/ Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. NBC has also had MSNBC's Chris Matthews anchor the occasional SR from the Hardball studio on the NBC network... How often do the networks invite pundits to anchor their hard news?
Georgie56 3350 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 I'd say not often. FNC also had Dana Perino anchor a few broadcasts of ANHQ in the past.
Jess 1115 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 I'm not sure if this counts but Bill O'Reilly came from "traditional" news... Boston and then Inside Edition.
Chicago's Very Own 104 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 The Fox & Friends hosts have anchored a few Special Reports for Fox affiliates if a major story is occurring in the morning. I don't think it's happened too often, but the most recent I remember them doing that was when the Congress baseball game shooting happened in Virginia.

I don't think it's happened too often, but the most recent I remember them doing that was when the Congress baseball game shooting happened in Virginia. Also happened w/ the Boston manhunt, Iran nuke deal, and the baseball game shooting in Virginia. Most recent examples I can think of.
Mrtraveler01 739 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 I'm not sure if this counts but Bill O'Reilly came from "traditional" news... Boston and then Inside Edition. Does Inside Edition count as "news" though?
Rusty Muck 4428 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Does Inside Edition count as "news" though? When they did it live, of course.
Ntropolis 600 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Does Inside Edition count as "news" though? It did back in 1992
David Salter JR 66 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Also happened w/ the Boston manhunt, Iran nuke deal, and the baseball game shooting in Virginia. Most recent examples I can think of. most fox affiliates were in local news at the time, so those SRs didn't air in a lot of markets
TriangleTriadMediaNews 267 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 When they did it live, of course. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, DO IT LIVE?
Rusty Muck 4428 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, DO IT LIVE? "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, 'TO PLAY US OUT?'" Greatest. Blooper. Ever.
LivefromNewYork 37 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 "WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, 'TO PLAY US OUT?'" Greatest. Blooper. Ever. I watch this at least once a month to keep me balanced.
Mrtraveler01 739 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 When they did it live, of course. Well played.
Georgie56 3350 Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 What about when neutral journalists host opinion shows? Chris Wallace has hosted The O'Reilly Factor and Thomas Roberts hosted The Ed Show while the latter show's namesake was suspended from MSNBC.
Eat News 4745 Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 What about when neutral journalists host opinion shows? Chris Wallace has hosted The O'Reilly Factor and Thomas Roberts hosted The Ed Show while the latter show's namesake was suspended from MSNBC. That's really playing too close to "the line". The line between news and opinion should be very clear to everyone. There should never be any question...in fact...they should go out of their way to explain where that line is. Maddow anchoring NBC Nightly is just as unacceptable as Wallace subbing for O'Reilly...no...no...no.
