Fox newscasters shocked by journalist who interrupted President Obama
When a reporter for the Daily calling Tucker Carlson
interrupted President Obama in the middle of a speech on immigration reform,
even Fox News anchor Shep Smith and Chris Wallace found the incident
"bizarre".
"I think it is outrageous," exclaimed Wallace.
"I covered Ronald Reagan for six years with Sam Donaldson. We used to
scream our lungs ask questions, but we always waited until that the president -
a president - had finished speaking. the idea that you interrupt the chair in
the middle of the prepared remarks and shouting a question - I do not think the
guy should be allowed to return to the White House on a press card, and my
feeling is that it will not. "
Carlson, a contributor to Fox News as well as being the
editor of the Daily Caller, had responded to the incident saying: "This is
what journalists are supposed to do. They are supposed to get their questions
answered. It is difficult to know what's wrong with asking the president a
question. "
"I hope that maybe Tucker has not seen," Smith
noted, "do not know the context, because Tucker knows better.
Carlson said from the Huffington Post, however, he sees
nothing wrong with the behavior journalist Neil Munro.
