Depends on the contract. Maybe it literally took too long and he didn't have to wait.
Magnus special treatment?
Sort:
Let me guess: Carlsen caressed his king, insulted his opponent, and refused to comply to the contract of another tournament.
Shame on him!
I am not a big Naka fan, though i don't dislike him either. Notice, I never said Naka should not have been fined I just think The World Champion should be held to the same standard.

It was maybe 15 or 20 minutes from the end of their game before the other two press conferences ended and Harikrishna did the press conferance alone. I would understand if he had prior commitments or something but Svidler said it was because the World Champion doesn't have to wait. If that is so then it is crappy of Carlsen since fans are eager to hear from him. I also think that at the US champs Naka was a little disdainful of the competitors outside the top three and that Caruana was much more gernerous to his competitors in his remarks. I only include this to combat the inevitabel claims that I am a Naka fanboy lol.
Magnus skipped the after game press conference today at Norway Chess 2016 apparantly because it was taking too long and the world champion doesn't have to wait (according to Peter Svidler)
I wonder if Magnus will be fined 10% of his winnings the way Naka was at the candidates for the same thing?
I persnally doubt it as the organizers are Norwegian and Fide will probably be deferential to the mega popular Carlsen.
