Prior to Tuesday’s State of the Union, President Obama sat down for an annual lunch with various journalists, including the network news anchors and hosts of several Sunday morning talk shows.
During his Shepard Smith Reporting program on Tuesday afternoon, the Fox News anchor revealed that during the lunch with President Obama, unlike the anchors of ABC, NBC and CBS, his place card “doesn’t say anything about news, it just says ‘Fox.’ And I looked at Bret Baier’s, and it said, ‘Bret Baier, Fox. And all the rest of them said news.”
Shepard Smith described how he “sat next to Brian Williams, and we all had these place cards, and his said ‘Brian Williams, NBC News’ and “across from me was David Muir – the new guy on ABC — it said ‘David Muir, ABC News.’”
The Fox News host seemed perplexed as to why Fox News was the only news network to not be identified correctly with the "news" identifier but concluded by hitting back at the White House: “I mean I don’t care, lunch was great but I guess, message received? I think Bret and I are good to go with the news part.”
