However, Baier's tongue created a muddle out of a straightforward clarification, which Clinton supporters made hay with by characterizing his explanation as a retraction or admittance that he'd falsely reported. Then that got turned into headlines; e.g., Raw Story's Oops: Fox anchor retracts claim of ‘likely’ Clinton indictment after conservatives sites go wild.
For all his years reporting on American political machinations, Bret Baier still doesn't seem to understand what he's up against. The only real mistake he made was interrupting the Fox anchor who tried to question him about his statements in the initial report. He should've answered her questions in as few words as possible. If she still wasn't clear, that was when he could have pitched her a few sentences.
Live and learn.
