Anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University in New York City refused to be interviewed by Fox News unless filming was halted and a “media team” was called.
When Fox News correspondent CB Cotton attempted to interview some of the anti-Israel protesters milling about on Columbia University’s campus in Upper Manhattan, she was confronted and told to speak with an unidentified “media team.”
Cotton, who said she was permitted to film on campus by Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, asked the protesters to elaborate on their demands to no avail.
Reporting on “The Ingraham Angle,” Cotton told guest host Pete Hegseth she wanted to attempt to get live feedback from protesters, and approached some students in the crowd, and began speaking with a young woman wearing a keffiyeh and a facemask.
As she began to ask them questions, another student approached and interrupted.
“We have, like, a media team if you’re interested in talking to people,” said the student, who was also wearing a headscarf.
When Cotton replied that other broadcast journalists were present, the student who interrupted the interview said she would direct her to the “media team” under the stipulation that the Fox News cameraman would stop recording.
