Neil Cavuto Torches Trump for Whining About Fox News: Youre Not Entitled to Our Loyalty
I dont work for you. My job is to cover you, not fawn over you or rip you, just cover you, Cavuto said.

Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto on Thursday fired back at President Donald Trump over his persistent whining about Fox News of late, telling the president that he is not entitled to undivided loyalty from the network and should not expect to get a free pass.
Noting at the end of his Fox News broadcast on Thursday that Trump had complained earlier in the day to Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade that he was not happy with the conservative-leaning network, Cavuto said that he thinks its weird that Trump complains about Fox because the channel gives him pretty fair coverage.
Pointing out that the president has recently urged his supporters to stop watching Fox News because the networks no longer working for him, Cavuto declared that his job is not to appease the president.
The longtime Fox News personality then went on to highlight a number of Trumps false statements, flip-flops, and outright lies, letting Trump know that checking what the president says is part of his job.

(26,319 posts)pretend to not be the propaganda arm of the GOP and Trump and also to try and save themselves if Trump loses.
Save themselves from what? Well at a guess I would say its probably the fear that the next Democrat in office might ask to the DOJ to do a complete investigation over the close relationship Fox and its people had with Trump.
If that happens I am willing to bet that a number of people over at Fox would be going to prison for atleast a few years.

(1,568 posts)Both Smith and Wallace really seem to anger Trump cultists. It's amusing to watch them complain about how "liberal" fox news is because someone like Smith said something rational. Even before Trump I recall them freaking out over Shepard's take down of the various falsehoods in the Uranium One story.

(3,496 posts)The reporters he insults on fox NEVER defend themselves also "regular" fox news during the day never mention these insults. It is ALWAYS the opinion people who come out wirh this sort of push back.
I also would not be surprised if cavuto previews this to higher up before broadcast.

(33,542 posts)Interesting though in the sense that back in the day when real journalists, as opposed to mindless spinning pundits, were actually reporting the news, people used to monitor Pravda to discern the internal machinations of the Communist party in Russia.
If it is true that Fox News is turning on Trump - I wouldn't dream of watching propaganda - this is interesting insight to the deeper thinking of the extreme right wing.

(12,165 posts)From MediaMatters:
In the decades since, Fox executives have consistently pushed back against criticism by arguing that while the networks opinion hosts are conservative, it also features a news division which produces objective journalism like other media outlets.
This is largely farcical -- Foxs purported news hours feature much of the same disinformation as its opinion hours. But they provide the appearance of similar programming on other networks, with interviews of members from both major parties, reports from correspondents, and panel discussions.
That image is essential to maintaining the networks business model. Fox draws a sizable audience that comes for its core product of right-wing propaganda undergirded by bigotry and conspiracy theories. But major advertisers are rightfully uncomfortable associating their own brands with such content, and in recent months, dozens of companies have abandoned the networks most-watched shows, sending Foxs overall ad inventory into a tailspin. Fox executives have sought to keep advertisers from abandoning the network altogether by stressing the credibility of the networks news division.
