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?"

Fox News Executive Vice President for Programming Bill Shine ultimately disavowed the video, which has been pulled from Fox's website.

“The package that aired on FOX & Friends was created by an associate producer and was not authorized at the senior executive level of the network," Shine said in a statement. "This has been addressed with the show’s producers.”
