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.
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.
When Cotton indicated the Columbia Journalism school had welcomed Fox News in what was referred to as a 'liberated zone,' the student expressed surprise that the administration would speak on behalf of the protesting students. 'I will totally have that conversation with — I would appreciate your respect… ' she continued before another student said, 'Let's walk away for a second.' At that point, Cotton turned back to address Hegseth.
According to an earlier Fox News report, the campus protesters have had to show identification to prove they should be on campus, as New York Post columnist and part-time Columbia student Rikki Schlott said on 'Your World.' That, Schlott said, has led to a difference between student protests and more raucous protests occurring in the rest of Morningside Heights.
