ColDayNews 438 Posted September 15, 2017 Share 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 3307 Posted September 15, 2017 Share 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 Share 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 Share 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.

Also happened w/ the Boston manhunt, Iran nuke deal, and the baseball game shooting in Virginia. Most recent examples I can think of.

David Salter JR 66 Posted September 15, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15927-pundits-anchoring-hard-news/#findComment-183968 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie56 3307 Posted September 15, 2017 Share 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.

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.
