FOX News anchor Shepard Smith got bent out of shape when correspondent Shannon Bream did a quick interview with New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Chris Christie.
He called out the incident as being less than fair and balanced. He seemed quite angry about it.
Shep is ticked off.

Transcript
SHEPARD SMITH: When will you be interviewing Jon Corzine?
SHANNON BREAM: We have in multiple requests, and when it comes through, we'll let you know.
SMITH: Wow. Thank you very much, Shannon Bream. Uh, wow. I didn’t know that was about to happen. My apologies for the lack of balance there. If I'd had control, it wouldn't have happened.
Listen to very beginning of the clip. Smith says, "The Democrat's probably going to win, right?"
Making that assumption about this tight race is not very fair and balanced at all.
It's funny that Smith is cheerleading for Corzine, the Democrat, but then gets huffy about the lack of fairness.
It cuts both ways.
Moreover, what is Bream supposed to do? She can't make Corzine just materialize. If his camp isn't responding to requests for an interview with FOX, that doesn't mean she shouldn't speak with Christie.
Smith needs to get a grip.
