Natalie Korach of Vanity Fair interviewed Fox Business Network correspondent Charles Gasparino about his reporting and interviewing style.

I don’t want the network to look stupid. I don’t want the New York Post to look stupid.’
“With that being said, Gasparino has pulled no punches in regard to covering Trump’s economic blunders in his second term, arguing that the president’s tariff policy is ‘not the answer to bringing back 1960s manufacturing.’ Gasparino’s tough coverage of the president occasionally causes some headaches for him back home.
