Neil Cavuto Slams Trump Attacks on Fox News: ‘It’s Called Being Fair and Balanced Mr. President’
https://www.mediaite.com ^ | August 29, 2019

Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto heavily criticized President Donald Trump over his complaints that Fox News isn’t sufficiently pro-Trump enough.

Cavuto gave a long monologue to close out Thursday’s Your World with Neil Cavuto, hitting at Trump complaining to Twitter followers that “Fox isn’t working for us anymore!”

“I think the president watches Fox,” Cavuto said. “I also think he’s getting sick of Fox, which is weird because I think he gets pretty fair coverage on Fox, but the president making clear that to fact-check him is to be all but dead to him and a legion of supporters, who let me know in no uncertain terms that I am either with him totally or a never-Trumper bully.”

“First of all, Mr. President, we don’t work for you. I don’t work for you,” he continued. “My job is to cover you, not fun over you or rip you, just cover you. Call balls and strikes. Our job is to keep score, not settle scores. In my case, to report the economic numbers with their good and when they’re bad. But when the markets are soaring and with her tumbling. When trade talks looking they’re coming together and when they are look like falling apart. It’s called being fair and balanced, Mr. President.”

“You’re entitled to your point of view, Mr. President, but you’re not entitled to your own set of facts,” Cavuto said.

OK. You win. Internet post of the day. “Lying only half time is not balanced...”. Damn, I wish I thought of that. (Or as the famous person said, I wish I had said that. To which the reply came, “You will.”)

Cavuto has some kind of chronic disease. Sucks to be him, but it's high time he bought the farm. Buh-bye.

Just curious—how many of you actually watched the comments?

As I thought—freezers just mouthing off without watching or reading. You are as bad as the AOCs of the world.

The worst is Little Napoleon Napalitano. He got his widdle feelings hurt so he switched sides in a heartbeat.

By the way, what the hell kind of judge was Little Napoleon?

It reminds me of an old scruffy guy in our town when I was a boy. Everybody called him "The Judge". When I got older I asked someone why they called him The Judge. It turns out he had once judged a beauty contest, and since then he was known as The Judge, LOL.

"Ideas have consequences." - Weaver.

America, under what Madison called a "benign" government influence, became a place of individual freedom, creativity, productivity, and plenty--enough to share with the world.

Other places, under the spell of these ideas current ideas of "socialism" and Utopia, have come and gone, or, if they exist, they are miserable places where tyrannical clowns squelch creativity among the citizens, destroy productivity, produce poverty and gloom, and look to other countries to sustain their people, while the leaders soak up all that the citizens produce.

Yet, in America, the beneficiaries of the Founders' system of free people and limited government prattle on and on about how they're going to "fight" for the little people whose votes they covet!

Enough already!

In a socialist society, Mr. Cavuto would be a useless voice, for the "financial" and "economic" news controllers would not need his opinion, nor his personal opinion of them or their leadership abilities. Again, enough already!!

Any cable news network that employs a stunted misfit like Shep Smith should never be considered fair, balanced, objective, or even competent.

Neil Cavuto apparently never understood that Fox News is nothing more than a tabloid trash “news” operation.

Cavuto is not ever allowed on screen in this house. Hasn’t been for over a year. Probably two. He’s brazenly anti conservative, and blatantly anti Trump. We used to think FOX should fire his ass, but then it became apparent he was leading the way for the new far leftist FOX we see today.

It’s only going to get worse.

instead of "Being fair and balanced", why not just report the truth? And let the chips fall where they may. A "fair and balanced" lie is still a lie.

I may not like to hear the truth, but I can handle the truth. What irks me is them pissing on my head and then telling me that it is raining. As far as I am concerned, FOX ranks up there with the rest of the liars.

I’m usually ok with Trump’s tweets, particularly the ones that make make liberal’s go nuts or point out leftist media absurdities etc. But there are some tweets best left in the nest and this was one of them.

Neil, when the high ranking members within the US government have attempted a coup of a newly elected president we have a problem. Act like it.

Yes, that's what they do now. They don't challenge the lies by the leftists on Fox, letting it go as if that is what "fair" and "balanced" means. They shouldn't allow the lies, and should challenge the leftists with the truth - that would be fair like holding an umbrella over your head while the leftists piss at us. Instead, Fox has allowed leftist liars to sit among them and get away with garbage.

Cavuto was good when he focused on business.

When his FOX bosses told him to focus on politics, Cavuto went downhill and I stopped watching his drivel.
