Colby Hall: “It’s been 30 days since Hamas launched a horrific attack on Israel, sparking a war and further destabilizing a historically dangerous area of conflict. At Fox News, one reporter has stood out thanks to his coverage: Trey Yingst, the network’s foreign correspondent. The war has captured global attention, and major networks and news outlets have dispatched some of their best journalists to cover it. There are a raft of incredible wartime journalists in the area doing world-class and life-risking reporting. But Yingst has stood out as the new face who just might be out-hustling them all.”

Travel across the partisan spectrum, and nearly every talking head will tell you in great detail that the country is splintered by fierce partisan loyalties and competing sets of “facts” while blaming their political foes for the current state of enmity. Which is why something of a miracle happened last week, during the 9 p.m. hour of Fox News of all places.

There is an old adage about negotiations that states one can only be truly confident of a fair and equitable agreement when both sides walk away from the table feeling like they each got the short end of the stick. I’m reminded of that old saw following the first 2020 presidential debate from Tuesday night, and the equal amounts of animus directed towards Chris Wallace for the job he did as moderator.
