'You should be talking to Fox': It's now Shepard Smith and Bret Baier vs. Andrew Napolitano

At his joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel today, President Trump put the blame on Fox News over commentator Judge Napolitano’s report that British Intelligence had spied on Trump at President Obama’s request during the 2016 election.

From Politico:

“That was a statement made by a very talented lawyer on Fox. And so you shouldn’t be talking to me. You should be talking to Fox.”

And later on from Bret Baier:

At issue is this piece written by Napolitano where he made the bombshell claim:

Sources have told me that the British foreign surveillance service, the Government Communications Headquarters, known as GCHQ, most likely provided Obama with transcripts of Trump’s calls. The NSA has given GCHQ full 24/7 access to its computers, so GCHQ — a foreign intelligence agency that, like the NSA, operates outside our constitutional norms — has the digital versions of all electronic communications made in America in 2016, including Trump’s. So by bypassing all American intelligence services, Obama would have had access to what he wanted with no Obama administration fingerprints.

In a rare move, GCHQ denied Napolitano’s accusation and the British press reported this morning that Sean Spicer had apologized to the U.K. over his use of the report in Thursday’s briefing:

However, Spicer denied that it was a formal apology:

This has people asking questions about Fox News in general and if anyone vetted Napolitano’s report before it was published:
