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.
