Fox News' White House Correspondent Ed Henry was, apparently, miffed that he was not going to be able to ask one of his gotcha questions. So, with the same good sportsmanship we've seen so much of from his Republican home team, he walked out.
Mediaite's Tommy Christopher noted that White House spokesman Jay Carney took questions from all the other TV reporters.
(Henry) got out “Jay…” before Carney called on The Chicago Tribune‘s Christi Parsons, and as she asked her question, Henry could be seen shaking his head.
Henry tried again on the next question, and when Carney ignored him again, Henry smiled, got up, and walked out.
While Fox News hasn’t always gotten a question at presidential press conferences, this was the first time in memory that a Fox News reporter wasn’t called on at a daily briefing.
The fact is, as we've repeatedly reported, Henry often uses his "questions" as little more than photo ops to promote Republican/Fox News talking points.
So kudos to Carney for not letting himself - and the White House - be used as pawns in Fox's pretense at being "fair and balanced" news.

That Henry chose to walk out shows just what level of (im)maturity prevails at FoxNoise.
