'Fox and Friends' Hosts and Guest Scientist Exchange Insults After Segment Didn't Go as Planned

An appearance by a Scientific American editor Michael Moyer, on Wednesday’s “Fox & Friends” morning show has left the hosts of the show and Mr. Moyer hurling insults at one another via every channel imaginable — TV, blog post, Twitter, etc.

The plan had been for Moyer to appear on the show to discuss scientific trends that might impact the future. The first thing that came to Moyer’s mind, he told Business Insider, was climate change, but he says that the producers asked him to steer clear of that controversial subject, requesting he replace that talking point “with something else.”

Then things slowly fell apart.

While this direction rubbed Moyer the wrong way, he agreed to do the spot anyway in order to “share cool science with whomever will listen.”
