In a heated exchange this morning on Fox News Sunday, former Sen. Fred Thompson took host Chris Wallace to task for what he claims is a "constant mantra" of attacks on Thompson from Fox News.

Thompson reacted to two clips from Fox News contributors Charles Krauthammer and Fred Barnes sharply criticizing Thompson's candidacy.

"I don't know if Fox has been going after you," Wallace said, defending his network's coverage.

But Thompson insisted -- "From day one, they said I got in too late --" only to have Wallace interrupt. "Well, there are a lot of people besides Fox who said that."

Watch the full exchange below, and tell HuffPost your thoughts: is Fox News biased against Thompson? And is this a smart move on Thompson's part?

There is an old line: "they are on TV." That means they are Very Important People. What blows my mind is that Chris Wallace, Fred Barnes, Charles Krauthammer, and Fred Thompson..­.are on TV; have been given the power to talk to millions of people over TV when I find all of them twisted, unintelligent souls.I resent their power. I resent that they are able to do that. So I guess I also resent my impotence at being marginalized to comment on Huffpo which doesn't have the audience that they do compared to TV. I should be on TV as most of you commentators should *L*.

While I realize how disappointing this must be for Mr. Thompson, it happens to be one thing Faux News has right in this election. Mr. Thompson has absolutley nothing to offer the Republican party or America as a whole. If they point this out, it isn't ad hominem attacks but an accurate statement of reality.

1/ Murdoch, Sir Fox, is backing Giuliani. 2/ Fred is a whiner with nothing to recommend him as president.

At this point, Thompson must feel like a Democrat.

If Thompson was smart he would've laughed at Wallace throughout the interview as Hillary did!!

Giuliani-Thompson 08. Fox may stand behind Rudy, but Cheney backs Fred. Pat Robertson isn't going to see his endorsement wasted, and there's all those Fredheads to exploit. And just ONE more dose of election fraud will do it.

I even think Thompson is half-assed about campaigning because the fix is already in.

This is just funny; treating Fred Thompson as if he were an actual viable candidate. That's hysterical.

Wallace personifies the ideal of the "Reich-Wing Tool" - he owns it baby.

Hear that Wallace? Something not even a father can be proud of.

Maybe he was adopted - his gene pool is rancid.

but, but, butt......­what took you so long? Predicted golds current rise......­in MAY (for gods sakes)?

If Chris Wallace is a journalist, then I'm a rocket surgeon.
