Fox host: Obama accused (just asked a question really) Fox of 'brainwashing our troops'

[DogPoundPup]

When Barack Obama set off on his overseas tour this week, the anchors of the three major broadcast networks were invited along -- but not Chris Wallace of Fox News.

The hosts of Fox & Friends have noticed, however, that even though they may not be represented in person, Obama did refer to their network during his trip.

"Apparently on the airplane somebody asked, 'What sort of reaction are you getting from the troops you're visiting with,'" Steve Doocy noted, "and he said, 'Well, you know, wherever I go, Fox is on.'"

Gretchen Carlson then took up the story. "When Obama asked why Fox has the hookup -- he called it 'the hookup' -- he also implied that it was the commander-in-chief's choice to have Fox News there. ... Andrea Mitchell from NBC then chimed in, 'It started with this administration.' Obama smiles, and then Jake Tapper from ABC asks, 'I wonder what cable network you'll pick?'"

"I guess that's another anointing of Barack Obama as president before the election in November," Carlson commented.

"It looks like we're being accused in a fun, smiley way of brainwashing our troops overseas who have no choice and aren't given the clicker," Brian Kilmeade added sarcastically.

1. He should give it to the network that provides the best coverage (most biased in our favor)

I'd say MSNBC, just for Abrams and KO (and Maddow.)
