Fox News’ savage own of Donald Trump was as glorious as it was unexpected

Donald Trump has slammed the mainstream media in the US – and across the rest of the world, actually – and has particularly attacked journalists as being purveyors of poisonous lies against him and his regime. One outlet that has largely escaped his invective, however, is Fox News, which has mostly operated as a secondary Whitehouse mouthpiece, but it looks like those days are over, and they’re not messing about.

DANG!

The scathing opinion piece from presenter Neil Cavuto, which went to air in August, might not have started an avalanche of honesty at Fox HQ, but with the likelihood of an impeachment hearing growing by the hour, His Trumpness won’t be happy about it rearing its head again.

Here’s the full item.

And these reactions are worth revisiting.

Neil Cavuto of @FoxNews has an Edward R. Murrow moment giving a civics lesson this President will never comprehend. Worth watching. https://t.co/tEsuRGRraI

This commentary by @TeamCavuto is quite good — thoughtful and eloquently expressed. FNC is finding out that Trump demands total fealty or he views you as a traitor. People like Cavuto don't do the former, so Trump considers them the latter. So goes life in Trump World. https://t.co/rcuMo3Uujw

The very best take down of @realDonaldTrump I've seen, ever, on any network.

I don't watch @FoxNews, but if there was more of this & nothing like @seanhannity @TuckerCarlson @IngrahamAngle, I most certainly would.

It's worth 4 minutes – Please watch.

Thank you @TeamCavuto. https://t.co/DHyyKXDQBi

If the clip goes viral again, it could well save a few people the bother of buying fireworks.
