Who Covered Pres. Obama’s Early Morning Istanbul Town Hall?

During President Barack Obama‘s just-completed trip to Europe, he’s dealt with some difficulties concerning time differences — whether it’s early morning news conferences or overnight speeches. This morning he held a town hall with a group of students in Istanbul, Turkey at 5:15amET (12:15pm local time), and only Fox News took the town hall in full. Fox & Friends co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade anchored and Major Garrett reported from the region. CNN stayed in an AC 360 repeat and MSNBC in a Hardball repeat. The town hall concluded at 6:02amET, and CNN and MSNBC’s morning shows made mention of it as they went live at the top of the hour.
