during Collins’ Interview 2017 with Carlson, she told the then Fox News host, “The press is throwing a royal tantrum because they can’t control what the country is talking about.”
Carlson asked her about the first reception she received at the White House. She said, “It’s definitely a bit exciting, but I’m not really there to impress them.”
“I’m here to ask the questions my readers want answered, not what they want me to ask them,” she continued. “I don’t get the questions CNN wants. I don’t get the questions MSNBC wants. I ask what my readers want me to ask, because out in the real world where the other 300 million people live, they don’t care about, you know, staffing issues MSNBC is calling for.”
