Does CNN’s Incoming Boss Condone Assaulting Fox News’ Journalists?
CNN’s incoming president Chris Licht appears to be okay with the suggestion of slapping a Fox News journalist over questions posed to President Joe Biden about Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Licht, the current producer of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” is set to take over at CNN next month but has failed to nix a portion of Colbert’s scripts that include attacks on Fox News reporters and conservative media figures.
On Tuesday, Colbert called Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy a “ridiculous man” and suggested the reporter be slapped for questions he asked Biden.
“Remember how on last night’s show I said that slapping is never, ever the answer? I’d like to file a one-time exception on behalf of the president of the United States,” Colbert said, referring to his comments the night before about actor Will Smith slapping comedian Chris Rock at Sunday’s Academy Awards.
Colbert’s remark about slapping Doocy came after a video clip was played of the Fox News reporter asking Biden to elaborate on what he meant when he previously said that chemical weapons used by Russia would prompt a U.S. response “in kind.” (Read more from “Does CNN’s Incoming Boss Condone Assaulting Fox News’ Journalists?” HERE)
