4:37Now Playing"FOX & Friends pitched an on-air fit yesterday when they learned "influential progressives" from MSNBC were invited to the White House to meet with the president.
Lawrence O'Donnell, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz and Al Sharpton were the president's guests. Arianna Huffington of Huffington Post Media Group was also present. White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest issued a statement saying, "The President met with influential progressives to talk about the importance of preventing a tax increase on middle class families, strengthening our economy and adopting a balanced approach to deficit reduction."
The trio at FOX & Friends didn't take the news well. Steve Doocy, Brian Kilmeade and Gretchen Carlson complained and reacted like teenage girls who found out they weren't invited to the prom."*
When MSNBC anchors got an invite to attend a meeting at the White House, the anchors over at Fox and Friends flew into near tantrums that they weren't on the guest list. " That station is delivering the message of this administration, so it makes sense," said Gretchen Carlson in a huff. Is it at all odd that Fox News personalities are "shocked" and "outraged" that they're persona non grata? What would they even talk about? Cenk Uygur discusses the jilted anchors and Jimmy Dore (The Jimmy Dore Show) chimes in.
