Two Fox News personalities will moderate two statewide debates in Connecticut next month, according to the Hartford Courant, which is co-sponsoring the debates with a local Fox affiliate.
The Courant reports:
Anchor Bret Baier will be the moderator for the U.S. Senate debate between Democrat Richard Blumenthal and Republican Linda McMahon on Monday, October 4. The debate will be broadcast live at 7 p.m. on Fox Connecticut from the 907-seat Belding Theater at The Bushnell Center For the Performing Arts on Capitol Avenue. Baier is the network's former Chief White House correspondent who took over the nightly anchoring duties from Brit Hume.
Baier made headlines by interrupting President Barack Obama repeatedly during an interview, prompting Obama to say that he wasn't being allowed to answer the questions. Baier was hailed by many conservatives and dismissed by liberals over the questioning.
On October 5, Carl Cameron - the chief political correspondent for Fox News - will be the moderator of the one-hour debate between Democrat Dannel Malloy of Stamford and Republican Tom Foley of Greenwich.
