Did the White House Diss Fox News? Shep Smith says, 'Message Received'

Fox No-News

Fox News' Shepard Smith was reporting from the rotunda in the nation's capitol after the White House State of the Union luncheon for the press. Besides exhaustively going through the listed food items on the menu the entire hour of Shepard Smith Reporting, Smith noticed a curious thing about the place cards given to each of the members of the press seated at his table.

He noticed that his colleagues from ABC News and NBC News were all listed as news outlets, while he and fellow Fox News host, Bret Baier, were not.

Smith explained:

I sat next to Brian Williams, and we all have 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.' And then, over next to the president, was Scott Pelley, and it said, 'Scott Pelley, ABC News.' And I looked at mine and it doesn't say anything about news. It just says, 'Fox.' And I looked at Bret Baier's and it said, 'Bret Baier, Fox.' But all the rest of them got 'news.' I mean, I don't care -- lunch was great -- but I guess there's a message received. But I think Bret and I are good to go with the news part, and I think you know that, too.

Intentional or not, the White House hasn't clarified.
