NYT: Jay Carney Made an ‘Angry Phone Call’ to Fox Exec. Following Anti-Obama Video

White House press secretary Jay Carney made an “angry phone call” to a Fox News executive after the network aired a scathing video review last month of President Barack Obama’s first three years in office, the New York Times reported.

According to the Times, Carney told Michael Clemente, Fox News’ senior vice president for news, that the video had crossed the line even for “Fox & Friends,” the morning show where it aired. Two unnamed Democrats reportedly told the newspaper about the call, described as a “private conversation.”

As The Blaze previously reported, the four-minute clip featured a series of “then and now” comparisons, including the national debt, jobless rate and gas prices. It was met with heavy criticism from both sides of the political spectrum: Media Matters said it “crossed a new ethical line” while Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey questioned whether “a news organization [should] produce and publish attack ads like this?”

As long as the info was factual it should be published. We all must face criticism in the things we do, including Obama.

hmmmm. fox and friends is NOT a news program. good morning america is NOT a news program. get it?

truth is truth and freedom of speech is freedom of speech. words actually have meaning and consequences. reporting what was said and what has been done is not wrong.

never be intimidated by those that want to do you harm or supress truth.

jay really can't help himself. he's liberal (mentally ill). he's working for an extreme liberal (extremely mentally ill) and he must tow the bosses line. so be it. always consider the source.

HMMMM... so it's okay for NBC to deceptively edit Mitt Romney to try to make him look foolish, however it's NOT okay for FOX to paste together obama's own statements to show everyone what he really is. that is a double standard if i ever saw one. crying liberals can't stand to have a light shined on them.
