Top Home Decorating Tips From Bret Baier

We first got a peek inside the Baier's home in WaPo's Style section, and next up for Fox's Bret Baier is Better Homes & Gardens. This mag's blog features the "Special Report" anchor's top decorating tips.

Bret's Top Decorating Tips for Men (and Women):

1. Use your interests to your advantage. "I was in charge of the audio-visual stuff," Bret says.

2. Take a specific interest in a room and put your stamp on it.

3. Know when to pipe up. "My wife narrowed down the options to two or three," Bret says, "Which is good for guys. We can make decisions as long as there aren't too many variables."

4. Know when to shut up.

5. Enjoy it! "You'll be surprised how much closer you get when you go through the process together," Bret says.

Now before you start to think this Fox newsman is too in touch with his feminine side, he's quick to point out his favorite part of the house is his room's full bar. "It's the kind of place a guy would want to hang out with a glass of scotch and a cigar -- well if we allowed smoking in the house," he tells Better Homes & Gardens.

Is Barney Frank A Glutton For Punishment?

Remember the last time Rep. Barney Frank appeared on Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor?" Seems like Frank just may be a glutton for television punishment, as he'll appear as a guest of Bill O'Reilly's again tonight.

Who's The Most Sought After Sunday Show Guest In Washington?


David Gregory, Bob Schieffer and George Stephanopoulos at CSIS yesterday.

It's a million dollar question- and the answer will really surprise you. Who is the most sought after Sunday show guest in Washington? Bob Schieffer, David Gregory and George Stephanopoulos all agree: Bo the dog.

In a rare joint appearance, the hosts of "Face the Nation," "Meet the Press" and "This Week" took questions took questions at this month's CSIS and Texas Christian University Schieffer School of Journalism Dialogue: "A Sunday Show Summit."

More realistically, the Sunday show hosts said they'd like to book First Lady Michelle Obama. Schieffer pointed out ABC's get with Hillary Clinton, saying he'd like to interview the Secretary of State. Stephanopoulos returned the compliment, telling Schieffer, Face had the "strongest May" with former Vice President Dick Cheney and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.

Now once they land the guest, how do they get them to talk? "Ask the obvious question," Schieffer advised. Gregory said sometimes it's ok to be quiet- "Let them talk," citing a recent interview with Defense Secretary Robert Gates in which he compared Presidents Bush and Obama for the first time.

We give props to a young freelancer in the audience who asked the panel quite frankly, "How can I be you?" The oldest and most experienced member of the panel, Schieffer, answered that while we don't know where journalism is going, "there will always be a need for reporters."

On the future of journalism, all three expressed love for newspapers, but skepticism for their future in print. Gregory referenced Ben Bradlee that there is a "fundamental demand" for newspapers in communities. All agreed whether it was online or in print, it was the information that was most important.

The Internet, the "first avenue that doesn't have an editor," as described by Schieffer, puts a "special responsibility" on the mainstream media, Stephanopoulos said. "I feel like an editor," he said, sifting through blogs for facts every week.

Other topics covered include healthcare (all agree the President needs one domestic achievement soon and that he wants it to be healthcare) and the balance of coverage on politics and the economy during the campaign (all thought mainstream media did a good job, learning and explaining economics and covering an election "historic in every way," as described by Schieffer).

As for their roles on Sunday mornings, I think even his competitors can agree with Gregory here. "This is still the place to really hear somebody out and learn something."

"This Week" Roundtable Discusses Pres. Obama And Fox News Relationship

Yesterday on ABC's "This Week," George Stephanopoulos and his roundtable discussed the relationship between President Obama and Fox News in light of comments the President made to CNBC's John Harwood in an interview last week.

Stephanopoulos: You know, George, I've always been struck by how -- and it's not too strong a word -- how obsessed the President and the White House are with Fox News.

George Will: Well, it's the discordant note in an otherwise harmonious chorus, I suppose that's why. But three great love affairs in world history are Abelard and Heloise, Romeo and Juliet, and the American media and this president at the moment. But this doesn't matter over time. Reality will impinge. If his programs work, he's fine. If it doesn't work, all the adulation of journalists in the world won't help.
