Commenting on how The New York Times removed a phrase from a Friday article explaining how President Obama told a group of columnists that he hadn’t consumed enough cable news to fully understand the anxieties of Americans over terror attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, Fox News Sunday panelist Brit Hume lambasted the President for his “snark” and frame of mind that makes him “impatient with the American people.”

Host Chris Wallace set the scene by briefly explaining this stunning removal from The Times article and read the quote in question before deferring to Hume: “Mr. Obama indicated he did not seat enough cable television to fully appreciate the anxiety after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino.”
