President Trump and Fox News – his TV network of choice, in a bit of a tough relationship after the White Houses’ swipes on the outlet over this summer. The most recent personality to revoke giving Trump continuous praise is Neil Cavuto.
A tweet from the president on Wednesday was the cause for Cavuto’s jab at Trump.
“Just watched Fox News heavily promoting the Democrats through their DNC Communications Director, spewing out whatever she wanted with zero pushback by anchor, Sandra Smith. The New Fox News is letting millions of GREAT people down! We have to start looking for a new News Outlet. Fox isn’t working for us any more!”, said in a tweet by President Trump, to which Cavuto’s reply was: “First of all, Mr President, we don’t work for you. I don’t work for you. My job is to cover you, not fawn over you or rip you. Just report on you – call balls and strikes on you.”
Trump had also taken a shot at Fox last month, saying their polls have always been terrible for him.
Bret Baier commented on the president’s suggestion, “Fox has not changed, we have a news side and an opinion side. Opinion folks express their opinions. We do polls,” he said on his program.
Although several Fox News personalities are devoted to the president, Neil Cavuto’s Thursday segment had many things to say about Trump, “I’m not the one who said tariffs are a wonderful thing. You are. Just like I’m not the one who said Mexico would pay for the wall. You did. Just like I’m not the one who claimed that Russia didn’t meddle in the 2016 election. You did. I’m sorry if you don’t like these facts being brought up, but they are not fake because I did. What would be fake is if I never did,” Cavuto said.
“Hard as it is to fathom, Mr President, just because you’re the leader of the free world doesn’t entitle you to a free pass. Unfortunately, just a free press,” he added.
