Editing Connie Chung (section)

==== Oklahoma City bombing interview ====
A few months later, in the wake of the April 1995 [[Oklahoma City bombing]], Chung was widely criticized for sarcasm as she asked an Oklahoma City Fire Department spokesman, "Can the Oklahoma City Fire Department handle ''this?''" Many Oklahomans felt the question was insensitive to the situation. A few women created "Bite Me, Connie Chung" shirts in response to the interview.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Huff |first1=Richard |title=Connie Chung Regrets Rescuer Remark |url=https://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/connie-regrets-rescuer-remark-article-1.681122 |website=New York Daily News |publisher=Daily News |access-date=October 12, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150320010317/https://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/connie-regrets-rescuer-remark-article-1.681122 |archive-date=March 20, 2015 |date=April 29, 1995}}</ref> Thousands of viewers in Oklahoma and elsewhere called and wrote letters of protest over the tone of the questions.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sutter |first1=Ellie |title=Connie Chung Upsets Students in El Reno |url=https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/1995/04/28/connie-chung-upsets-students-in-el-reno/62392703007/ |website=oklahoman.com |publisher=The Oklahoman |access-date=November 2, 2024 |date=April 28, 1995}}</ref> Moreover, co-anchor Dan Rather was irate that Chung was sent from New York to the assignment while he was already in nearby Texas.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Mink |first1=Eric |title=CBS Anchor Steams on Sidelines/Rather Out of Bombing Story |url=http://www.greensboro.com/cbs-anchor-steams-on-sidelines-rather-out-of-bombing-story/article_c6bb1415-146c-5c79-8283-9b13e29b03d1.html |access-date=November 2, 2024 |work=News & Record |publisher=New York Daily News |date=April 27, 1995}}</ref> Consequently, after public outcry, and Rather's complaints, Chung left the network after being removed as co-anchor of ''CBS Evening News''.
