Fox’s Shepard Smith Cuts Short Contentious Interview with NYT Paris Bureau Chief
‘On what matter did you think we were not careful, based on what you just said and what we reported, Mr. Erlanger?’
In Live Paris Coverage, Fox's Shepard Smith Smacks Down Snooty NYTimes Bureau Chief (NewsBusters)
During special live coverage Friday afternoon of the hostage standoff situation in Paris related to the deadly January 7 terrorist attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices, Fox News anchor Shep Smith took New York Times London bureau chief Steve Erlanger to task for cavalierly suggesting that Fox News was not being "careful" in its reporting on the matter.
When Smith pressed Erlanger, who appeared on air to detail exactly how Fox News had not been careful in its reporting, Erlanger confessed that he had not been watching the network's coverage before joining in via telephone.
