President Donald Trump routinely attacks the free press as the "fake news media" and the "enemy of the people."

Occasionally he even targets a network that constantly takes his side: Fox News.


Such was the case on Sunday afternoon when Trump tweeted that Fox News host Chris Wallace was "obnoxious" and beneath the legacy of his father.

The comment came after Wallace interviewed Republican Congressman from Louisiana Steve Scalise, in which he grilled the Congressman about the ongoing impeachment inquiry against the President.

Now, Wallace's colleague at Fox News—Neil Cavuto—is clapping back, reminding Trump that journalists aren't required to praise him, but to hold him accountable.

Watch below.

Cavuto didn't flinch in using the President's phrase of "fake news" to call him out:

"What makes something fake news? I would assume if the news being reported is fake or wrong and the person presenting that news knows it is fake or wrong, that is bad."
"But what if the news being reported is accurate, the facts are good, they just sound bad?" he said. "My colleague Chris Wallace has discovered again the president doesn't distinguish."

He then pointed out to Trump some of journalism's most basic tenets:

"We can't please all. The best we can do as journalists is be fair to all, including you, Mr. President."
"That's not fake doing that, what is fake is not doing that, what is fake is saying Fox never used to do that. Mr. President, we have always done that."

Fox News is by no means known for its credibility, but people applauded Cavuto's willingness to call out the President.





This isn't the first time Cavuto called out Trump for his attacks on the press.

He reminded Trump this past August that journalists "don't work for" the President. He's highlighted Trump's "swamp" of corruption as well.

If you believe in the Freedom of the Press and that news that doesn't flatter the President it not "fake news," this shirt is available here.

Healthcare Workers Share The Common Medical Myths That Drive Them Crazy

It's safe to say the majority of people have a somewhat romanticized view of medicine, largely owing to soap operas or prime time medical dramas.

Others have an equally skewed, if somewhat sadder, grasp on medicine, after being raised to fear or not trust doctors.

Nicki Minaj Awkwardly Calls JD Vance An 'Assassin' While Speaking To Erika Kirk—And Nicki's Reaction Is All Of Us

Rapper Nicki Minaj had quite the awkward moment at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest over the weekend after she attempted to compliment Vice President JD Vance by calling him an "assassin" before realizing her error.

That's a significant blunder from the newly-minted MAGA performer, considering she said these words while talking to Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk, whose husband, far-right activist Charlie Kirk, was assassinated at a college event in September.
