This morning, FOX & Friends was crying that Senator Obama has ignored FNC during the campaign. Uh-huh. In an e-mail leaked to the Huffington Post, FOX reporter Major Garrett expressed his disgust with the segment, reminding the FOX & Friends producers that Senator Obama has participated in numerous interviews, including an extended sit-down on Bill O’Reilly’s thing.
But the most revealing aspect of the exchange was the internal run-down of the segment topics from this morning’s show. The details after the jump…
The most egregious lines in BOLD. The “EARLY VOTING” segment looks particularly weird.
