Pigs Are Flying !! Fox News Just Called Trump Out on His 'Fake News' Critiques

Ole Two-Scoops ain't gonna be liking this ...

But Thursday night brought some reassurance from an unlikely place: The Fox News Channel. Neil Cavuto broke out a monologue for the president that stopped short of calling his Position Reversals "lies" ( "Now, I’m not saying you’re a liar," Cavuto said. "You’re the president. You’re busy." ), but suggested Trump is filling his own Swamp with blatant non-facts almost constantly:

No one on Fox is ever going to call the president out for exactly what he is, but this is just about the best we could possibly hope for. Cavuto put together a fine list of obvious falsehoods continually spouted by this president:

You didn’t know about the $130,000 payment to a porn star, until you did ... the time you said the Russians didn’t interfere in the 2016 election, until a lot of Republicans had to remind you they did. You came back months later and you said, ‘Well, I never said that Russia didn’t meddle in the election,’ when in fact you had—a lot ... You claimed your tax plan was the biggest in U.S. history, when it wasn't. Or that the bill you signed to make it all happen would cost you a fortune, when it turns out it is going to help you make a bigger fortune.

...

You insist that money from the campaign or campaign contributions played no role in this transaction. Of that you’re sure. The thing is, not even 24 hours ago, sir, you couldn’t recall any of this.

I don't watch FoxNews enough to remember; I'm curious how high a profile he has these days.

I know Shep Smith and Chris Wallace criticize Trump at times already. I'm not going to give FoxNews as an entity credit for criticizing him though until they do it in prime time (which maybe this was) or on Fox&Friends.

Giuliani of being Fake News. This story about FOX and another critical post from WSJ — it looks like the stable genius is running out of people who are buying his bullshit.

This is what they did with Bush; got on the bandwagon once they knew the gig was up
