After a Thursday night Fox News special starring presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump’s family, which featured sit-down interviews with his three oldest children and wife, a slew of viewers pointed out the special wasn’t exactly a feat of adversarial journalism.
The hour-long special, hosted by Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren, featured multiple montages of Trump delivering his signature pro-business stump lines, a tour of the Trumps’ Fifth Avenue penthouse, and a walk-through of the newest Trump property blocks from the White House.
Here were just a few reactions from top conservatives:

This special feels like something you’d see on state-run television somewhere.

Another hard-hitting question from @Greta:
“Do you think [your dad] wants to be president?” she asks @DonaldJTrumpJr.

Pravda-like.
