Newty's a big frikin' baby walks out of an interview with a college student

Newt Gingrich walked out of an interview with a Univ. of North Carolina newspaper on Saturday after a student reporter tried to ask him about Fox News chief Roger Ailes, the paper said.

Memet Walker, a reporter for the Daily Tar Heel, claimed that Gingrich agreed to an interview with him following a campaign stop in Greensboro.

A spokesman for the Gingrich campaign, however, told Yahoo News that no such interview was planned.

Walker said he tried to ask Gingrich—who last week criticized Fox for favoring Mitt Romney in the race for the Republican presidential nomination—about what Ailes said in response during a speech at UNC: that Gingrich was "trying to get a job at CNN, because he knows he isn't going to get to come back to Fox."
