Following a series of swipes at Fox News from the White House this summer, Neil Cavuto has become the latest network personality to push back against the president’s expectations of uninterrupted praise.And this:
Cavuto said on Thursday: “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.”
Fox News isn’t supposed to work for you. https://t.co/kQDY4UKv8z

Of course, the low-wattage loons on Fox and Fiends are still almost as far up Trump's ass as is Bill Barr.

No press or Media should be in the Tank for any candidate.
And since CNN forgot that, they are now an also-ran as a news organization. Not that CBS is far behind.
I approve of Fox standing firm. Shoulda happened sooner.
Stuart Varney threw a fit at Joe Walsh, the deadbeat idiot reprobate, trying to deny that Fergus has lied to the American people.
Which makes a certain kind of sense, because Fergus gets many of his (12K and counting) lies from Fox, so if Fox admitted that Fergus was lying all the damn time, people might wonder whether they were lying also...
Just fucking with you. Fox knows good and well that their audience will swallow whatever lies they broadcast because they have spent decades and billions of dollars cultivating an audience so fearful and paranoid that they will believe any lie Fox broadcasts, even if it contradicts the lie from yesterday, rather than face the ugly truth that they have been suckered into being dead wrong about every political opinion they have held their entire adult lives.
As for the rest of cable news, you can sometimes get usable information from them if you know how to translate it from their particular slant and you remember that their programming isn't there to inform or edify you, it's actual function is to keep you watching long enough to sell you dick pills and reverse mortgages.

B, if Trump were caught on camera trying to strangle Melania on the White House Lawn, Fox would be commending his due diligence in trying to help her dislodge a bone in her throat. CNN, meanwhile, would have Rick Santorum vs April Ryan, with Santorum explaining that you can’t conclude that Trump is a domestic abuser, based on this one incident.
Roy...plus OAN would say Melania was holding Donnie’s hands on her neck, MSNBC would have live coverage titled “Melania gets pussy lift, now has to shave neck”, CNBC would be arguing about if this would hurt the stock market and Bloomberg would be shilling something from Sharper Image.
Strikes me as fake news, Fox pretending to mean to daddy for two days-"see how fair and balanced"?
Or you could go to MSNBC and hear Chuck Toddler (chuck, chuck, bo buck, banana fanatic fo f***...) insist every time that "both sides do it".
Chuck should chuck MSNBC and make it Four Dolts on a Couch over at Faux news-more simpatico for a softballer false equivalent guy like Chuck Chuck.
Another take I found on Taegan Goddard:
Jack Shafer: “Not for nothing was Donald Trump inducted into the WWE wrestling hall of fame in 2013. The man knows how to stage a fake fight—like his current brawl with the Fox News Channel. On Wednesday, he mounted a three-tweet attack on Rupert Murdoch’s channel. He savaged it for covering the Democrats, for hiring Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, for keeping Juan Williams and Shep Smith on the payroll, and he invited its viewers to stop watching his once-favorite channel…”
“Trump’s faux-fight with Fox is designed 1) to add drama and excitement to where there is none; 2) make him the primary focus of events; and 3) temporarily complicate the storyline so viewers keep watching. Fox benefits from Trump’s periodic attacks (remember when he boycotted one of Fox’s 2016 presidential debates because it wouldn’t dump Megyn Kelly from the broadcast). They make the channel look like it’s standing up to the president, and Fox ends up looking more independent and credible.”
