<p>White House press secretary Jay Carney made an “angry phone call” to a Fox News executive after the network <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/fox-news-airs-blistering-then-and-now-anti-obama-video-review/" target="_self">aired a scathing video review</a> last month of President Barack Obama’s first three years in office, the New York Times <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/21/arts/television/fox-friends-finds-ratings-and-controversy.html?_r=1&amp;pagewanted=all" target="_blank">reported</a>.</p>
<p>According to the Times, Carney told Michael Clemente, Fox News’ senior vice president for news, that the video had crossed the line even for “Fox &amp; Friends,” the morning show where it aired. Two unnamed Democrats reportedly told the newspaper about the call, described as a “private conversation.”</p>

<p>As The Blaze <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/fox-news-airs-blistering-then-and-now-anti-obama-video-review/" target="_self">previously reported</a>, the four-minute clip featured a series of “then and now” comparisons, including the national debt, jobless rate and gas prices. It was met with heavy criticism from both sides of the political spectrum: Media Matters <a href="http://mediamatters.org/blog/201205300001" target="_blank">said</a> it “crossed a new ethical line” while Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2012/05/30/video-foxs-four-years-of-hope-and-change/" target="_blank">questioned</a> whether “a news organization [should] produce and publish attack ads like this?”</p>
<p>Fox News Executive Vice President for Programming Bill Shine ultimately disavowed the video, which has <a href="http://video.foxnews.com/v/1663606480001/four-years-of-hope-and-change/?playlist_id=86912" target="_blank">been pulled</a> from Fox’s website.</p>
<p>“The package that aired on FOX &amp; Friends was created by an associate producer and was not authorized at the senior executive level of the network,” Shine said in a statement. “This has been addressed with the show’s producers.”</p>
