"When he sat down to interview President Trump, David Muir had an enormous responsibility on his hands," says CNN's Oliver Darcy of the World News Tonight anchor's exclusive interview on Tuesday. "Muir had been granted Trump's first television interview outside the Fox-verse since the coronavirus pandemic upended American life." He adds that Tuesday's interview "was an opportunity to ask him important Q's and hold his feet to the fire in a way that isn't done on Fox and can't be done in the briefing room. But Muir missed. The interview didn't elicit any big news. Muir didn't challenge Trump in any meaningful way. And worst of all, Muir allowed the President to float brazen misinformation with no pushback to his 10 million+ viewers...To see Trump float brazen misinfo to Muir and watch him accept the answers was... disappointing to say the least." ALSO: Muir's interview showed why Trump rarely strays from Fox News.
