I read that six of the 14 reporters that went were from Fox News. Is that so?

According to Mike Allen's notes there were 13 news staff on board: "writers from The Associated Press, Reuters and Bloomberg, plus the newspaper pooler; photographers from AP, Reuters, AFP, Time and Newsweek; and a correspondent, producer and two-person crew from Fox" Just one "reporter" from Fox - their turn in the pool (although CNN is frosted - guess the world doesn't revolve around CNN after all).

And to those who wonder if it's just too "convenient" that Fox was on deck, remember that the Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, and especially Reuters aren't exactly pro-administration, and they were on the plane.
