Fox News’ Bret Baier Hits Back At Obama Over Alleged Criticism (VIDEO)
Fox News’ Bret Baier struck back at President Obama on Monday, taking issue with an alleged attack by Obama on the network which surfaced in a new book.
In the book, “Showdown,” journalist David Corn writes of a meeting during which Obama blamed Fox News for sinking his popularity with white men.
“…Fed by Fox News, they hear Obama is a Muslim 24/7, and it begins to seep in…The Republicans have been at this for 40 years. They have new resources, but the strategy is old,” Obama reportedly said.
The network, which has been a target of Obama’s in the past, took issue with this. On Monday’s “Special Report,” Baier said that the president was wrong.
“For the record, we found no examples of a host saying President Obama is a Muslim,” he said.
While no hosts have called Obama a Muslim, many on the network have been relentless critics of his dealings with the Muslim world, and have gotten into hot water for controversial statements about Muslims. They have also raised questionsabout his family and childhood ties to Islam, and the network was also forced to correct false reports that Obama had attended a madrassa as a child.
Anyone who watches FOX news knows that Obama has not been called a Muslim 24/7 on that network.FOX news was the network that exposed Obama’s 20 year attendance at radical church and his association with a racist preacher. What FOX news does do is present a variety of opinions from the right, center and left. Including opinions critical of Obama and his administration.This is just another case of Obama blaming someone else for his failure. It’s also interesting that a recent article in the Washington Post reported that Al Qaeda also hates FOX news.
