“Even though he’s entitled to his opinions, he’s not entitled to his own set of facts”

During a broadcast of Donald Trump’s speech at a “Get Out the Vote” rally in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Friday evening, Fox News host Neil Cavuto cut into the footage to point out inaccuracies in what was being said by the former president and 2024 Republican frontrunner.

Taking issue with Trump claiming credit for the market going up while, in the same breath, blaming Biden for inflated gas prices and whatever else, Cavuto said, “We’ll continue monitoring the president’s remarks and I mean no offense to him or some of you who might want to continue to hear him, but I did have to say that even though the former president is entitled to his opinions, he’s not entitled to his own set of facts.”

    The people that far gone started pissing on Fox News the day they said Biden won the election. Maybe even a little before that.

    I get the distinct impression Fox thinks it can pivot to a different set of subscribers as its armchair-bound geriatric viewers die of Covid and old age.

      Maybe. We’ll have to see if this is a one time thing where the anchor is going to get yelled at and never done again, or if it flags a new editorial direction.
