Vice President Mike Pence suggested reporters from major news organizations should speak more frequently with people outside of the Beltway after some cable TV networks failed to break into their regular programming on Wednesday night to cover the ceremony he attended in Hawaii honoring the remains of possible U.S. military personnel killed during the Korean War.

“I think there's a lot of people in the so-called mainstream media that would do well to spend a little bit more time traveling across this country and listening to the American people," Pence said during an interview with "Fox & Friends" that aired Thursday.

"'Cause frankly, as I travel on behalf of this administration, meeting with groups large and small, I sense a great enthusiasm across the country," he continued. "People see when it comes to President Donald Trump, it really has been a year and a half of promises made and promises kept.”

The potential remains of American troops who died in North Korea were returned to U.S. soil Wednesday as part of the four-point joint declaration signed by President Trump and Kim Jong Un at their historic summit in Singapore in June.

Pence flew to Honolulu, Hawaii, to greet 55 caskets carrying remains believed to belong to either U.S. servicemen or soldiers from a range of United Nations ally countries who also fought in the war. The remains will now undergo analysis by the U.S. military's Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency for identification, according to the Associated Press.

Out of the three main cable news networks, only Fox News carried Pence's address at the ceremony live. CNN and MSNBC, however, reported on the event over the course of their Wednesday night coverage.

The remains of about 5,300 of the 7,700 U.S. Korean War veterans still considered missing are speculated to be in North Korea, per the AP.
